Polly track at woodbine and Running styles
Hi Jim
(1) I Got two questions? I play Woodbine race track, do you have any advice on how to deal with the TURF HORSES running on the Polly track. (2) Can you clarify the running styles. I noticed that some people that identify the running styles on Friday night pick-3 were not all the same EXCEPT the EARLY HORSE. Everyone all agreed on the Early. emilio |

I was reading some of the older threads here and came upon this one. This thread is five MONTHS old and a lot of learning,hard work,frustration and ENJOYMENT has occured. If you recall I came clean and said that I was averaging about 25-28% wins at the start and Jim wanted to figure out both 1) Why 2) How to increase it. He spent a LOT of time helping me and taught me about the power of the SPOT PLAY which I have passed along. He has set LOFTY goals for me from the start. So high that I kept asking him to STOP doing that because the pressure was hard enough as it was. I was being DEAD SERIOUS. He never let up and kept driving his message home to me. He wants 50% winners betting ONE horse. He NEVER changes or relaxes this message.While I am NOT there yet I can actually "see" this as attainable where 3 months ago it was an impossibility. This is how POWERFUL the SPOT PLAY truly is. Finally the realization dawned on me that the ONLY way to have a CHANCE to attain this goal would be to abandon ALL races except for those I saw as SPOT PLAYS. So that is what I have done. I have changed my focus from that of a "General practitioner" to that of a "Specialist". This is an account I have at brisbet set up for ONE spot play. I will show this one because it IS the highest win %. This is for the last 5 days and of those days 2 I worked no races whatsoever. I also have learned that hard FOCUSED work also REQUIRES at least TWO days of REST a week man. At least that is how it is for ME. So here are 3 days worth of ONE of my spot plays. 11 wagers over 3 days looking at minimum FIVE tracks a day. Betting ONE horse per race. 1) Game Plan - knowing where I am going and HOW to get there 2) Patience 3) Pattern recognition 4) Positive reinforcement by NOT looking back on lost races 5) Working races alone in a quiet meditative environment ( soft music) 6) Belief in SELF Happy birthday Jim. Richie

I so relate to this
I have also experienced the FRUSTRATION of not nearly fully getting it. There are many races that go by where I am clueless because (for me), the Match-Up puzzle pieces don't all fit neatly together - there appear to be contradicatory indications which just confuse me. I've also had strings of coming in second by trying to play most races.
Perhaps, the easist Spot Play is the Lone Early and even this is NOT EASY- will some other horse stop mine from taking the lead? will some other horse catch mine at the wire? Is my horse really lone early because there is another horse that is an early presser (maybe I should have classified this horse as early too)? Is my lone early really too slow for today's race? Richie- I don't know if your 6/11 spot play is Lone Early, but I'm guessing it is? Having said all this, I like the idea of only pulling the trigger when you are quite confident of the outcome. At the end of each race I work, I rate my level of confidence and it is definitely true that I do better at the ones I rate higher. I'd really love to be inside the "Hat's Head" when he works a race to know how the master is thinking- what is he doing exactly????? ...that's it for my rambling. Thanks for all the great work you are doing... the "Yank" |

Fighting hard
Quote:
Now what I found out was that in ONE race I bet where I had to bet twice in one race (because the amount shown on Brisbet didnt match what I wanted to bet on the ONE horse) they counted that race as TWO in my total. So my actual % is actually a tad higher than what is shown. I am fighting as hard as I can to acheive the 50% win rate for a MONTH. That is my goal. I have NOT done it yet but with hard work it certainly seems within reach. Richie

Eye still on the prize man
Missed 4-5 days this month due to family/"not into it" stuff but the eye is still on the prize - 50% winners for a month.
My betting records straight from Brisbet for all win bets from 10/1 through yesterday. ALL wagers on other than early horses. Fairly decent profit for 3-4 days work I think Methodical application of Jim's teaching and PATIENCE to wait til the race that has run before shows itself TODAY

Art 21st century technology , more advanced than the " I-Phone " in education and human development toward conquering Parimutal Investment : ( Invention = RichieP ). When you are not surprised at $14 to $50 plus winners , the system The Hat presents works. And to think , the new MatchUp Guy is just past beginner, .....WOW!!...I am humbled toward disbelief to wonder what is to come next. So Happy birthday Mr. Bradshaw , everytime RichieP presents " HAT SCAN " perspective from you on mastering the lessons , I feel " I " got a new present, like it's MY birthday. It is almost impossible to do the MatchUp and not "feel" like a Hat is on your head. Because we want to see what The HAT see's. VoodooFan
