Jim & the Bris contest
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 Last edited by JimG; 05-30-2007 at 07:01 PM. |

What a great showing ! Nice work Jim ! I know what you mean about the importance of races you don't play. The last two years I buried myself playing races in the Delmar contest nobody should play. Good Skill for the Delmar and the Augest contest.

Shoe, I have never understood you other than to think if someone stopped to fast in front of you that you would be gasping. This is to say I respect all others for going it the way they go if the road is less traveled rather than follow the leader or take orders from some underling want to be.
