Terrible day, nothing. That's what happens when I don't do my normal Hcp. nor know the odds prior for adjustments in picks.
A good lesson I already knew but the reinforcement of it was positive. Now back to doing what I normally do.
Very few views which is good, they didn't lose money.

Mitch,

Honestly, this may have been one of the most educational posts in the entire discussion.

Truthfully, I would rather see a losing day with the wagers, thought process, adjustments, and follow-up explanation than a winning ticket posted afterward with no explanation of how it got there.

What you showed here was real-time thinking:
class evaluation, workout patterns, exacta structure, doubles, odds sensitivity, and then afterward explaining why the approach failed and how odds changed the equation.

That’s real gambling discussion.

In many ways, when you win you learn very little because you got paid for what you already thought you knew. It’s when you lose and then honestly analyze the race, the wager, the assumptions, and the adjustments that real learning takes place.

To me, that teaches far more than simply posting a score after the fact because people can actually follow the decision-making process from beginning to end.

Win or lose, that kind of transparency and accountability has real value and is appreciated.

Agree that the specifics of the decision-making of a player with a long-time record of success is very valuable. Thanks Mitch
