Lenabugg (Albert),

I agree (technically) with one point you make - 'this site doesn't help people'. That's the way it works: others do not help you more than you help yourself. I am reminded of the profound wisdom in the lyrics of the Beatles' final recorded song 'The End' ("And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love ... you make.") Translation: what you put into it is what you get out of it; give a little, and watch the (usually magnified) returns come back to you. BUT - you have to take the first step.

Perhaps I am losing my attention to details, but I do not remember your last request for assistance in mastering these tools and concepts (either a private or a public request). Operators are standing by! If anyone reports that they are having a wonderful time, making some money (or a LOT of money) with these tools then it follows that the tools are doing their job in the hands of a motivated and curious user. If you want to have some of the success you imagined for yourself when you first took on these tools - here is my suggestion: ask for help.

Here's how to do it: once a week (or twice a week, or once a day, depending on how much time you have to give), start a thread in the RDSS Forum with a specific race you worked which you did not win. It will be even better for you if you learn how to post a screenshot like you see everywhere on this website, so people can see what pacelines you have chosen, which horses you have chosen to make Contenders and which non-Contenders, and describe as clearly as possible your handicapping and betting decision practice. When you do this - and ask for others to help you understand the process by which they got the winners (or made money somehow betting that race) - this specific focus on details will help you gain knowledge and skills you currently do not have. But I repeat - the key, the absolute pre-requisite for success if you do not currently enjoy it - is to ask for help.

For example, I notice the last card you downloaded was for ZIA on December 1. Why not pick a race from that card or any other card you downloaded from that date and make it the subject of a discussion in a NEW THREAD in the RDSS Forum. Here is a video on how to make screenshots and add them to your posts here: http://paceandcap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8335 I personally guarantee that I will comment on that race, and will encourage others to do the same. Keep on posting examples you would like help with and you will keep on getting answers. Consider joining the RDSS monthly Learning Contest and use it as a method for improving your game by continually asking for assistance. Download some of the same races others have worked in that Contest and see how you could get the same result as the winners did.

If you toil away on your own, you have only yourself as a teacher. If you join a 'school' of excited students and competent teachers - and give yourself to the learning process by joining in and 'emptying your cup' so new knowledge can flow in - your own efforts are magnified many-fold and the dreams you had of success at horse racing will stand a better chance of coming true.

You paid $200 so far for support - why not make use of it (and why not consider upgrading to RDSS2 while you're at it)!

Looking forward to being of assistance. And feel free to write me privately anytime (support@sartinmethodology.com).

cheers,

Ted
