Handicapping Magic - Pace and Cap

Profiler8 · 05-31-2008, 12:15 PM

Hi,

is Handicapping Magic worth a read ?
I have seen, that the author sells so much different seminars through Post Time Daily. Are they worth the price ?

Thanks...

Greetings

His ideas on turf racing alone has changed my fortunes on the lawn and lead to the longest price I ever collected +$123.00.

His ideas on turf sprints are great as well: LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!

Tim,You know your right about turf sprints I love turf racing and never had any luck with them.

Hi Jeff. Reading your post on going to the track with friends brought back
some fond memories. One of the biggest problems with group handicapping,
is the deadly phrase "who do you like".

It's quite educational to gather for different opinions on who the real contenders are in a race. Once you decide who "your" contenders are, you
must go off to yourself and make your wagers. Once you have tickets in hand, then and only then, should you discuss "who you like to win".

It's simple enough to decide the contenders in a group, but the problem arises
when handicappers try to wager as a group. Handicapping is not
a group sport was one of Bob Purdy's pet expressions. I think the wagering
should be made alone, and away from any group. This is the way i do it,
and stll enjoy the company of friends.

Hi Bob,Good points.Enjoy listening to you on some of those Sartin seminar tapes.Jeff

Hi Bob, Totally agree with you. I live minutes from the casinos, but with a computer you always get people asking who doya like. Stay home now and do much better. Still use what I learned from you in a late eighties workshop in Chicago,thanks.
I use HM and rdss. Mostly use HM and ppf for turf racing. Nice spot play is if ppf and rdss agree. Be selective on what to accept for ppf. Just had an across the board bet at Bel-race 7, on the three. Monster ppf and #1 E or #1 L depending on PL used for rdss. Paid 18.60 to P and 11.80 to show.
