Place
This is a message request in my PM folder this morning .
"I have noticed that in posts featuring races you say you have only a place wager. Could you please post the criteria you use for making that decision. Specifically when a place bet is preferable to a win bet and/or when a wp bet is preferred. Thanks for your time and for all your posts. They have been very helpful. TL" Hello TL This is my outline to my recent success "place betting" This is very IMPORTANT " I go into each race looking for a winning horse . I am not looking for a place horse, I'm looking for the most likely winner but only betting that horse to PLACE Criteria- Any race, any track, any distance , or surface Field size does not matter, although place prices are better with big fields. Program requirements Rdss with live tote The ability to wait till the very last moment before the bell to place bet . I use Xbselect or Twinspires With lots of practice and focus I can make my bet within seconds of the lockout. Okay let me walk through a live race This is race 2 today Sunday June 17th from Belmont. HAPPY FATHERS DAY First thing is I use Phase 1 for contenders and pacelines Here is what I have for race 2 I have moved horses 4 and 1 to secondary contenders. I move every horse who is over 20/1 ML or running at a non comparable distance structure, or who is not one of the top 3 EPR or LPR or Top 5 TPR horses or any horse that is more than 5 points below the top rated TPR horse . Using these basic Phase 1 requirements, I get the winner in the group over 92% In all races - I have 2300+ races in my database Continued next post . |

Rx 2 pw%
Now I go to the RX screen. I use RX 2 for now.
My record show that the winner comes from one of the top 4 RX2 horses over 90%. In addition I only use horses that fit the basic Phase 1 quidelines I outlined in the previous post, So the probability that the winner is one of the top 4 RX horses is not only extremely high since now I am looking for the winner, but I probablby find a horse who should win but only places a very high percentage. Back to the steps So from this point on I only will look at the TOP 4 RX2 horses . Here that would be horse 6, 7, 5, 3, I will wait till the second race tote odds are available and then explain the nest steps Best Skill |

Rdss Tote
Here is the RX 2 screen with the live tote
This screen shot is at like 26 minutes to post. But lets pretend for now this was at 0 minutes to post. Who is my bet? I look for these factors. 1. One of the top 4 RX2 ( or RX3 ) if available. 2. I look at the horse with the lowest percentage on the PW%readout. 3.This PW horse must be bet below it morning line. In this race right now that would be horse 7. So at the last possible second I would bet $10 minimum on the 7 to PLACE I will post another shot in a few minutes and reevaluate |

Why
you might be asking why
Well I wont beat around the hedge , I AM BROKE I lost my whole bank roll to taking out money for bills but also trying to do too much while not at even 50% mentally stable My bank roll is down to $300 TOTAL I have to build it back up very conservatively, I am on a strict fixed income now, There is no room to "play" I need a very high win percentage way to grind out a profit I have been doing well as my chart shows I stared with $200 and now I am over $300 Just from Place betting using this method |

I was following along Bill and found it interesting. Just another race and no one race makes a loser or a winner, its how you do overall and your concept is showing 100% profit. I also admire that you post before the race and not after the fact.
