Shoeless, you congratulate me in an earlier note, then call me out in another. Why?

It's not related to the Sartin Methodolgy, so I prefer not to discuss it on this board.

That's fine I was just making a comment .

What ever software you use, it's quite an accomplishment to finish so well in a national contest. I used to feel that contests were a weak substitute for the real thing. However, I've come to believe they're far more difficult than betting with so called "real money."

When I bet "real money" I select the races for wagering, not so in a contest.
I structure the bet; win, place, exata, tri, etc., again not so in a contest. I select the amount to wager, not the case in most contests. And if I'm not up to it on a particular day, rescheduling the contest is not an option.

Again, congratulations.
Regards,
Chris

Thanks so much Chris! I appreciate the note. We all hear and read about the need to find value in our daily play. No question in my mind that is very important. I feel it is even more important in contest play. It is also very important to completely know the rules of a contest and (hopefully) use those rules to your advantage. Contests can vary greatly and the strategy can as well. I like contests because most of the time you are playing against little or no takeout as most, if not all, of the money collected goes into the prize money.

As far as daily play goes, I am a big believer in making a betting line and sticking to it. Many times the races I do not play are as important as the races I do.

Again, thanks and best of luck to you.

Jim
