I watched you in action today . You did well. It might not appear that great
looking at it as you did here. As a day at the races .. "How did you do today???"
Its much more telling if you look at a set of races. At least
20 race cycles..
some points...
You had 2 nice winners. $18.80 and $10.00.
Looking at a day at the races these look like "Thank God " wins.
They saved your day from a bust. In 9 races you had 2 nice winners.
In 20 races lets say you were on a pace for 4 or 5.
In a 20 race cycle 5 nice winners is something much more positive to look back on.
This is a big step in learning to believe. To sit back and look at
a big picture of what your working for. Those 4 or 5 winners will
feed your confidence. You will get stronger and more sure
that you will catch those big profit fish.
You will be more in focus as to what makes winners.
Looking at a day of races will get you to "At least I didn't lose" thinking.
You bet all 9 races You didn't pass any race. That is something I rearly see in the follow up.
In 3 of the 9 races a tier 1 -2 favorite won.
With practice most Sartin Methodology users might "feel"
that the favorite in one of these races is too strong to beat.
I think you were more working to see how the methodology guidelines would hold up after a full card. But knowing when to pass is a pat of the methodology too.
Also I know your a win place wagerer. In races were you have a strong favorite sometimes you can still get nice place prices on longshots.
Look at race 9 today. You went against a 3/5 favorite ranked # 1
Not that you - nor I for that matter had the 7 horse. However, in a race with a bet against 3/5 favorite, The place horse paid $37.00
The name of the game today is profit from 20 race cycles
not win percentage
I suggest to Sartin Methodology students That you follow what Mike and Barb are doing.
Look at your results in 20 race cycles.
Your goal sould be to get better in each one.
The simple act of jotting down some of your feelings after each race,
will only help you in the next cycle.
