If the other testers could look into this with their studies maybe we might need to "bend the rule" it a little to compensate.
Mike,

This is one of the best posts you have made on this topic because it truly addresses "making NP your own," which is essential to winning with any system or methodology.

I realize that everyone would like to have a system that comes out of the box (for $77) and provides them a lifetime of income. That is probably a step or two shy of reality.

As was evidenced at our time together at Saratoga, there are players who find a way to win, those that do not and some who do the opposite. The key to all of that lies in your words...


Whether one is "bending a rule" or developing a completely new rule of their own, it always begins with taking personal responsibility for whether we win or not.


Now, for factual stuff - I experimented with widening the gap of ties and found that very quickly you wind up leaving in entire fields, especially with 7 or less horses. The key is in a BETTER approach.

Let's consider the components of NewPace and decide what holds the best opportunities for improvement.

1. The Early Screen
2. Swing horses
3. Dominant Definition(s)
4. Reg Speed Process
5. Reg Speed Numbers
6. E vs L comparisons
7. Tie Breaks
8. Wagering Strategy

We have researched and improved only a little thus far, yet with each improvement a few more people come forward as winners. It is always the innovators who make the PERSONAL improvement.


Recently I heard business guru Dan Kennedy say that people want simple solutions. He went on to say that the truly successful people know the final answer is usually a complex one.

Why shouldn't it be? The problem is complex.

Dave Schwartz

PS: It was great meeting you at Saratoga. (It was not until this post that I made the connection to who you were when I met you.)
