What We Want

The object of the RDSS " Learn To Win" contest has always been
to make your normal bets in a public forum
We try to run the contest as close as possible to what you encounter in real life betting
We have strict rules as to posting those races a full minute before the official off time of the race.
You will get shut out if you get behind a slow poke at the windows,
Your bet will not count on any online betting system if your connection fails
If you bet $100 and your bet returns $88 you have not made a profit but as Patrick says
your bank roll will go down only $12
We are not like most contest were you only win when you win
Here if you lose your bankroll goes down
If you want to impress and say "I had that horse " thats what you will get , but your not making any money or extra credit
not here anyway.

We try to discourage wild "flyer" type betting because the day anybody tells me they truthfully
would bet $100 bets on some of the selections I see in the contest is the day I quit betting
We offer a "hit" to any wager that shows a profit over $100
These hits are part of the scoring because Ted and I want to see profitable betsfrom races were using RDSS and the teachings of The Sartin Methodology
is making each contestant better.

Seeing somebody win a "hat pin longshot" after losing 10 races in a row is not going to make anybody a better handicapper. We offer a Hit bonus because we want people to bet to win races
not contest and fame and glory


Budman made a legit bet in RP race 8 however his bet was 20 w/p on what turned out to be a $6.00 winner and a $2.80 place horse
Just as happens in real betting he fell victim of the late action of the tote board.

These things happen Just like getting shut out behind a slow poke
at the window or losing your connection online
You have to over come these misses
