That is part of this issue, I hear this and that and some takes hold and some doesn't, or I try to do it and things happen that prevent me from following up with, like modeling and my in ability to get the use of OO or Excell, who's fault, mine because I do not get the right training neccessary , and or do not quit my job and dedicate more time to this, which has crossed my mind, only briefly.
Also how do you find the number of races and type so that I could at least download AND PRACTICE THEM, please.

Patrick, let's break this down.
1) You get a new toy/tool/gizmo/instrument/device. It's only natural to play with it, hit all the buttons, chime all the bells, make everything light up, see what different things do, etc. It's going to take a while to process all this.
2) Then when you feel reasonably confident you look at other ways to press all those buttons.
(And if this is me, and it's a gambling gizmo, then I'm losing small amounts of money the entire time I'm practicing...which is okay, I chalk that up to part of the learning experience...it's expected, a cost of doing business).
3) You start winning. And winning. You now become overconfident and really start sending it in. You get the "King of the World," "can't lose," "this is easy," "I'll quit my job" feeling.
4) Reality comes rudely knocking at your door; you start losing and with that your confidence goes down the drain. The harsh realization that you're not going to win all the time sets in. Drat. Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
5) Now you more or less start over looking for the "perfect" solution.
6) You have now entered an endless loop.
How do you get out of this? Focus. Take baby steps.
Don't start off thinking you're going to win the Kentucky Derby superfecta. Optimism is fine, but let's toss in a bit of reality. Okay? Start off with baby steps. Turn $200 into $400 by making small win bets. $6 to win and $4 to win. If you're not comfortable with that then bet $3 to win and $2 to win.
Double your bankroll before you even think of playing exotics.
You need direction.
You need to develop confidence. You need to build a bankroll.
Get a teacher. Or, find a mentor. Or, figure out a plan.
My suggestion to you was to only play claiming and allowance sprints because they are the easiest to win using pace-oriented software like Sartin programs.
Double your bankroll then consider adding other races to your repertoire if you want. But baby steps first.
One way you could go is to watch Ted's videos over and over until you fully understand what he's doing. Adapt his approach. Make it your own.
You could also concentrate on doing the match-up without software. Although this is very difficult, requires a lot of time and not many people can do it well (I sure can't). Still, that's another way to go.
You could look at Binder's Val approaches (Bill V) and do exactly what he does. He even spells it out for you step-by-step.
All these things work, Patrick. Try them on for size, find one you're comfortable with and make it work for you.
The point is to pick one course of action and see it through. Stick to it.
Hang in there, Patrick. Remember the old cartoon, "Slowly I turn, step by step..."
Ted can probably tell you the easiest way to find claiming and allowance sprints.
One way would be to download everything, open the cards and look for them.
Here are the first two cards for today. Open them and you can see what's available.
