Hi Jeff
FTL's demo is right on. The only thing he might not know is ( maybe he does?)
the sort is based on the Muv and 3 part varius readout
It is not actually sorted by EP as in
Early
Pace.
Early EXDC which is what the bar graph A is showing is. Bar graph B or Paragon B is not Sustained as in
SP
Late EXDC is if the race favors other than normal as in late biased
In FTL's example, Energy has called the race variegated
Sustained
Therefore the
Paragon B bar graphs are preferred for win bets
FTL brings up another point This program is 30+ years old,
At the time this program was "the" program of the methodology,
The emphasis was on winning 66% of your bets from your top 2 selections
Win Percentage was the goal not so much ROI,
You do send me many good reports But you also are an exacta bettor
It was not until Doc's next program KGEN , and then Entropy, that getting the place horse for exacta's was added to the algorithms.
For Exactas with your copy of Energy I suggest you use the "other"
paragon or better yet the 3 0.00 horses on the varius.
Here is how doing exactly what FTL did in his race will get you the winner of race 10 from parx yesterday, which I posted early in the day a few post back .
Here are my lines
The race is variegated Early So my top two on Paragon A shows the 1 3 and 4
But you say you will change the variegate based on the o.oo MUV horse
or the energizer ( same thing)
Let's do that, can the 1 go wire to wire? I say no based on its line score and it's paceline so yes you could change the variegate.
Now the variegated is
sustained
and who are the top two on the
B Paragon
3 and 4
I think if you follow the Paragons A or B determined by the variegate
your win percentage will go way up
If you use the 3 0.00 horses on the Varius you will catch some nice exactas
It did not work for me here because the 8 placed
(I had it to win along with the 3 )
Good Skill
Bill
