Something In Common

[shoeless]

One thing in common I have noticed in watching people live that really use the programs well such as Bill and Gary is that they go about doing the races the same way each time.They wont stray away from the things that work for them.This is a trait I really admire.Jeff

One reason for that is lets say I do run off course
Its easy to see I'm lost and then all I need to do is backtrack and get on that well known road
That road has many intesting attractions

lack of imagination is an admirable trait?

I have seen both of these guys doing races live and I admire them both.There is no need for you to comment otherwise .

A long time ago I took something written in the Follow Up to heart and have never looked back: EACH race is unique and to go after every one the same will bring you nothing but trouble. The programs are not a cook book and treating races that way is not too imaginative.

the original post was about two people who do races
with something in common In my case a tried and true
method that I have set upon works

Here are a few reasons
1. I lost when I tried to get too creative
2. I don't do every race the same. I do every race I do the same
What I mean is I pick races when I can find the time that
my method is going to work. In the past week I did a total of 6
races I have no time in my life now to do a whole card
NJbets.com list about 10 -15 tracks most days
I just use my RDSS Desktop and check out anything
that looks good thats coming up from the enties
I look for full fields. I try to work with older etablished horses
Almost every race I do I can sort of feel it when I pick my lines
If things are too funky while picking lines I stop and find a new race
3. The above example (point 2) is when I am betting from home.
When I go to a track for live racing or a simulcasting place
I use Valm or energy and hand enter my lines. I do races that are not
going off for awile, I can keep to myself. It takes so long to do each race That I again can pick my spots and I don't get caught up
in the crowds opinion When I do go to the track usually I am asked to
do a race for whoever I am with . I do them for them buonly bet the ones
were i think my method will work If not I pass
To me this is the way racing is today Shoes original post
was very nice and I hope others are winning if they stay consistant

Thanks Tompkins

Tompkins,
get real. In horse racing you stick with the FACTS at hand. There's no room for immagination, or creativity.

Just to clarify myself I meant how Bill and Gary have a game plan on how to attack a race.When I go about doing a race Im all over the place which I feel is not a good way to do things.

Then you become an UNIMAGINATIVE clone following the 'step by step" malarkey that is gospel. Balderdash "Become a regurigitator" it's easy amd mind-numbing.

It is a PARIMUTUEL game. You have to be different to survive. You look at co-relations that the crowd misses. This crowd too...SIMPLE.

Tompkins,
If you are using Val, Spec or whatever, for your creative and immaginative handicapping skills, you have my blessing.
