Wow, what a bargain for Gapfire, compared to other stuff, RDSS excluded of course.
Maybe I should write a book on tried and not true methods of Handicapping, God knows I have tried my fair share, lol

Patrick,
I would love to co-author your book.
Years ago, I used to buy anything and everything about horse racing.
Then I came to the realization that there's not much out there that works. Not consistency.
I was one of the unlucky ones that bit the bullet for RaceCom.
However it was fun for the most part to try and at that point the money didn't matter. I learned an expensive lesson.
My experiences were good with the Sartin Methodology. Energy and Synergism were my favorites.
Those were the days of Cal Track on line, the first version of All In One and Thorobrain. Both these have disappeared along with some products that were offered by some of the same people that are still marketing today. Many of us literally "took it in the shorts" but kept on buying crap that did not work. We were the victims of our own ignorance.
Those were the days that I use to play with Eric Langhar at the Imperial Palace and Michael Perry at the Hilton.
Doug and Sharon Manley were two of the best natural handicappers that I knew and my wife and I had the pleasure of frequently socializing with all of the above.
I was there when Doug Manley gave Michael Pizzerola and Eric Langhar the heads up which pointed them and caused the formation of what is now "The Post Time Daily".
When living in Las Vegas, I had my biggest success with a product call "Colts Neck Data". I was hitting some very big overlays and winning frequently. That product is still around but being as the complexion of horse racing has changed dramatically over the course of many years, the shorter fields, surface changes and other factors make value horses harder to find and those good results I was enjoying dried up.
Lately, I have had success with PaceAppraiser but the value horses are not there.
I like RDSS and look forward to the next upgrade that will hopefully include a file conversions for some versions of Synergism.
Yes Patrick, I've been down that road and I'm sure that there are many of us that have been as well. We are all looking for the holy grail and possibly on a fools mission. I've been there and done that but I had a hell of a good time doing it.
