Posting Selections

[Ted Craven]

Richard,

The Selections Forum is for just plain Selections, no explanations required, no nothing - just picks, and results of one's picks. Doesn't matter what FTL (or anyone else) thinks. It has been this way since forever.

The Races of Interest Forum is for teaching, hence more background to the selection and betting process is required. Otherwise, the post should go in Selections! This too has been the case since we established the Races of Interest Forum.

Summary: Selections Forum is for bragging Races of Interest Forum is for teaching

You don't have to post the same degree of detail or screenshots that FTL or Bill V or me or anyone else does - you only have to make it clear to someone reading your discussion how you make your selections and wagers. Just give enough commentary that someone could follow along, or follow up with a question to you about it. If you have given your Guidelines for analysis previously, kindly provide a link to that post - even once in a while in your posts in the Races of Interest Forum. I myself am quite familiar with your decision process - but many others, including new readers or users of RDSS - may not be, and would otherwise be confused: for them it would be indistinguishable from a post in Selections which has no explanation.

I feel that's what I said (perhaps using fewer words?) in my post above. The suggestions given are for ALL readers, including a reminder to myself! If you feel you have a problem or confusion with any of these ideas, I certainly value your contributions to not only this Forum but to my personal knowledge of handicapping - and you have my phone number: please call me any time.

So, who do you like today at Saratoga!? Short version in Selections Forum, as long a version as you can handle in Races of Interest Forum!

Cheers,


Ted
