Handicapping 101
 
Before you odd people go through your handicapping "methodologies" you might want to consider something.

What are we looking for ---above and beyond everything else? What is our end goal?

To pick the horse we think has the best chance to win and then construct the bet or no bet around that conclusion. Correct?


Some of you have something else in mind .

Do you hear the Zodiac Ciphers?

The first person to suggest that we all handicap speed is going to get epoxied to the top of their car.

The last guy to hear the ZC was by no means in the loony bin. I would say he was brilliant.

You have a long way to go to get to his level Mr. Dullest.

Payson Dave 02-14-2008 07:12 PM

I




think





he





must






be





working







on







the






ZC's







for







tomorrow's







Gulfstream






card.

Payson Dave 02-14-2008 07:17 PM

or






perhaps







he






is








begging








Deb o Deb








for






a







reprieve

Wow, you're kinda like The prophet and this is eerily similar to Chapter 1, The Coming of the Ship.

Pretend we're the people of Orphalese and talk to us of, well... chapter 2 is love but we can change that to capping. :p

Mortimer 02-14-2008 08:10 PM

This is so strange. I was just thinking to myself........."You know,Prime Time,there are better things to do.Do these people act like they want help? No. They don't. They're happier throwing money at 6:5's and 3:2's.Let them die."

And the thought struck me;I may be right.

Dont go away mad. I'm an old dog, go ahead and try to teach me some new tricks.

pmacdaddy 02-14-2008 08:29 PM

You got something to put out there, let it rip. I apologize if I should who you are.

Not sure what the hostility is all about. Thow out some winners or winning ways. I'm all ears.

Mortimer 02-14-2008 08:45 PM

Do I sense a break in the mindset? Do some of you actually want to learn the evil of your ways?

Listen to me. Do not expect me to throw fish at you. I will train you to throw your own fish.

Is this fair?



RULE I.......You DO NOT HANDICAP SPEED...EVER!

This one is a real pet peeve of mine,but if any of you are going to learn anything I want to hear from those that do. And I want to know why.

You there. You look like an insane person. What is your prime motivater in handicapping? What is it you look for in a horse more than any of the other tripe floatng around out there in space----seeking more space as in the heads of so many of your friends here?

In other words; what is it that has made you suck all these years?

Ya Sleepy.Go ahead and doze off. Apparently it's not the first time from the looks of many posts you have put on display here.
