But the Fulcrum Pace is a simplified (simplistic?) application of Bradshaw/Sartin Matchup concepts, adapted to software.
IMO, anyone using RDSS is not missing anything related to 'Fulcrum pace' implemented in Pizzolla's various software.

I'm sure Michael Pizzolla is a good teacher and an even better showman and marketer. Better than me, anyway.

IMO limiting one's self to one specific area such as pace is the wrong approach and a multi faceted approach is much better and more rewarding. They come in many different forms. Within RDSS are several Factors that will produce good prices such as, V/DC, BLBL, Rx factors, CR and even APV, Match Up and deceleration to name a few. Recognizing a legit longshot and making the bet is a complete other story, most fail to see it until after the fact for which there is no payoff or if they do can't pull the trigger.

I watched the video last night too.
Although, I believe his book HM was an overall good (not great) contribution
to the handicapping public, his "Fulcrum technique" re-explanation will help those who won't get near learning the Match-Up or utilizing RDSS.

For them it's better than nothing; for us it should be like what we learned in pre-school or kindergarten.

I couldn't agree more with you guys.
