Race Analysis Process - One Way Pt 1 of 4

[Because I Can Jim]

Hi Everyone!

This series of videos is in follow up to the ones I did on Contender Selection (Click here to see that thread: http://paceandcap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9310 )

In it Latekick asked to see my analysis process. It took me a bit to think aobut how to present it. I actually made a series of 8 videos going from start to finish in a race, but, scrapped it and made these instead.

In these, I just want to try to show the general process of the analysis of the race after I have selected the contenders.

Understand that the process is sort of nebulous due to the nature of horseracing/handicapping. It does nto come as one size fits all nor is it a recipe for baking a cake. Each race is different and I approach each differently.

So, what I have done is to try to show the process, yet, provide my thoughts in explaining what I did for "this" race. The process can be summed up in a couple of sentences but the explanation can take forever.

Also, be patient with some of the mistakes I make in the video such as in Part 4 I say the 7 horse went off at 2.8-1 when it actually went off at 12.8-1. I was concentrating and focussing on what I was thinking and how I was presenting it that I stutter a bit, go too fast sometimes and make some minor mistakes. After all, I am only human and it shows in my handicapping!

As always - questions, comments, criticisms, exchange of thoughts, suggestions for improvement, wanting to see something specific, etc... are all welcome. Just post!

What? Part 2 is missing?
You idiot you! Your a bum!! You can't even put up a video so how are we supposed to know that you have any clue as to what yuo are doing when you handicap?!!!! Go back home to where you came from!!! LOL

But folks, it really wasn't my fault! It is Ted's fault!!! Yeah, blame it on Ted!!! He is the techie guy!!! LOL

You see, I started to upload the video and since it takes some time I made some dinner, had a bite to eat and when I came back.... The screen showed it had uploaded. Really!!!!

Anyway, it can be fixed. It is all good. And really..... I do know what I am talking about.

Hope everyone gets something out of them. Be sure to post comments questions, etc....

And also check out Bill's video to see "another way" of doing an analysis.

Here is a screenshot of my actual wager on the race using Amwager and of course the result chart.

How I wager is a topic for discussion in the future.

Best of luck in your handicapping!

I really enjoyed your videos
I can see what you know, and how your using many tools.
to be successful.

I know these videos are not about pace line selection.
I just am having trouble really enjoying them unless you can
clarify something.

Why did you use line 5 for horse 5 ?

anyway..

Thanks, and I look forward to more lessons.
I am so happy you give the gifts of sharing and teaching.
Showing others what you do to win is invaluable, We are all better because
of your work.


All the best
Bill

Very well done videos Jim. As to your betting I have seen this approach used when one feels certain that the horse will hit the board. The only thing different was the show bet was tripled for a total bet of $18. I have tried it with pretty good results. Once again thanks for posting your process.
