iiicream replied to the topic Flat betting vs Multi Level in the forum Video 8 years, 8 months ago
Good video & lots of food for thought.
As for me, most of my wagers are pre-bets. I try to take an hour or so in the morning
and decide which races to play and how to handicap them. Very rarely do I get the
opportunity to look at odds 2 mins, 3 mins or 5 mins before a race. Usually when I
start to do that I get interrupted at work.I have…[Read more]

iiicream replied to the topic Spreadsheet to calculate accurate profits on past races in the forum Video 8 years, 8 months ago
So good to hear that your mom is greatly improved.
I have not been tracking the figures as deep as you have but what
I have found is this:Since Sunday 8/23, not including 301s & 1st half of twin races—using the
top 4 dogs in my speed column only, I would have had 27 out of 56 races won.
That’s 48% of the races.
On 8/25, I had 75% wins…[Read more] -

for the record, I did laugh at the beginning.
What % of races played did you win? I was trying to go back thru the month
and see how my top 4 would do. I avg around 35-40% wins. -

Max, I think it was an all-time record. Didn’t even have time to
get something to eat. -
iiicream replied to the topic The Holy Grail Search Update in the forum Video 8 years, 9 months ago
Interesting video.
Question: Why are you leaving out just 1 dog? From what I
could see you could have left off the bottom 2 dogs and done
just as well. -
iiicream replied to the topic Gap / 8th / Class For keys in the forum Video 8 years, 9 months ago
Good video. I’m not using columns exactly like that. I’m using an “EighthCls” column which takes
the dog’s Class added to the Last Eighth and sort. One of the top 3 dogs in the winner in about 45%
of the races. If there is a 2-way tie for the 3rd spot I go to speed and/or 1/8 call. If there
is a more than 2-way tie I pass the race. I usually…[Read more] -

iiicream replied to the topic Thinning the field (Jacks Method) in the forum Video 8 years, 9 months ago
Looking at the last 10 days @ TS using the above method, the lowest # of wins I found was 4, highest was 10 (out of 16 races).
In no particular order the results were (all out of 16 races):
5
10
6
4
9
9

8

I did notice that some of those winners paid double-digit (and more). Casually I did…[Read more]

Thanks. I have found the key to this is to play every contest no matter how well you do. I’m still trying to crack the top 10.

iiicream started the topic New PB Track Record in the forum Everything else 8 years, 10 months ago
Friday afternoon (7/24) @ PB there was a new track record set in the 545 course. Race # 13, the 8 dog, Speeding Bullet ran a 28.92 time. Absolutely an amazing do. Watch the replay if you can. This was a class C race so keep your eyes on him as he climbs the ladder.

I easily built 2 columns for QD that helps look at the data. One column was LastEighth, just the last 1/8 call for the dog. The other column was LastGrade, the last grade the dog was in based on a 1-6 scale. A=1, B=2, etc. I also added Last3Speed column, average of the last 3 races & a Closing column, improvement of the dog from stretch to…[Read more]

Today’s (Mon 6/29) card @ PB. Race #8 I played the 5 to WP. Found out I entered race #9 instead of #8. Race #9 the 5 dog comes in to Win. Pays $76.20 to win, $14.40 to place. Some days it pays to be an idiot.

iiicream replied to the topic Columns and a video in the forum Video 8 years, 11 months ago
I have looked at Wheeling & Tri-State using these columns. I went back and looked at some randoms days (4-5 each track) and was not impressed with the results. With my method I have added the average speed for the past 3 races but do not include it with the rankings. I only use that when there is a ‘tie’ in the rankings.

iiicream replied to the topic New method work continued in the forum Video 8 years, 11 months ago
Found it interesting that the winning dog was ranked in the top 3 in every race except 7, 10, 15. Time to kill some races.

iiicream replied to the topic Wager Set-ups in the forum Handicapping 8 years, 11 months ago
Ive been spot-playing the $.10 Supers @ WD lately. I’m using the following setup (and still trying to fine tune it).
Using an AvgFin column, I take the top dog as my key, using the next 1, 2 or 3 dogs as my second and playing A/A for 3rd/4th place.
so it could look like this:
1/2/A/A and would reverse place & show
1/23/A/A

Just roughing the numbers it looks like you need 40% or better for this to be profitable. I’m still running simulations and crunching numbers. Posting new video and updated sheet today
