As far as my mentor you don't wanna mess with me there. I've spent years listening to this man. I CARE, very much. Because, he's forgotten more than someone that plays on weekends, or casually, and bets ATB on longshots will learn in a lifetime. He played day in, day out. It was his living for a very longtime. He still plays. He's very good at it. AND when you do this for a living--you keep impeccable records, not to mention the involvement with CHARTS before Formulator came along. I imagine he kept charts on a point such as this as well. Good horseplayers know what works over the long haul.

You and I'll do fine RS, we just disagree on this and that's ok.

I've kept records since 2000 for tax purposes.

Changed my avatar for you(i change it twice a week)
And if its a relative, I wasn't knocking you caring about them--sorry if you took it that way.

As for the charting I will be happy to do it. I will come up with some ground rules and we can both agree on those, but the only way to do it is to chart every single race that a longshot---over 10-1 finishes second regardless of where the favorite finishes....Give me some time to set this up.

Thanks for changing your avatar RS, I know you feel better now! LOL

The thing to do here is pick one race meet only, or two at the most, don't jump all over the country like someone with A.D.D., Gulfstream runs several more weeks, so does Santa Anita.

It would be better for someone that is in to this, as you say Scav is.

It really is simple in my small mind. Its your money and whatever satisfaction, gratification etc you wanna get from betting the horses you will do. It may not be the "best" way, and you may go for decades on the losing end of the pendelum. Thats fine, cause its your money. On the other side of that pendelum.......................................... ......

Their will be people who will wager different, a "better" way and in the long run, over decades, they will "profit".

Who is happier?
