I have recently started hiding the ML when I handicap a race. I do check the tote with a min or two to post and if my choice is 5/2 or less, I PASS.
I wish I had done this many moons ago.
WHY....I found that when my picks hovered around the favorites in a race, I would try harder to find fault with my own picks and try to BEAT the favorite. Most of the time I would come up with wierd ideas why the favorite could be beat..ie trainer only %10 win rate, etc...you get the idea.
By not using ML...I don't invent ways to beat myself.
If the horse is legit..PASS at low odds.
WORKS FOR ME.
