what does the completed mean? the pook stuff I see that bet when I bet I don't know where you get that. I was wondering how and where you get that I use twin spires and oaklawnanywhere to bet.

Yeah?
Mitch and Tim, do you guys enter all this stuff in these threads manually?
“COMPLETED:3c64a-b752d LRL #10 $0.50 Pick-4 1, 3, 4, WT, 4, 7, 8, WT, 1, 3, 4, WT, 1, 3, 5, 9, 10 none $67.50
$1,489.75
+ $1,422.25”

Good god!
Hopefully you are least cutting and pasting. Even easier if you just took screen shots, cropped them and uploaded. If not sure how, Youtube will show you.

Highlighting, copy and paste. No if I had to do it manually it would not get done. Twinspires also provides a nice summary for the whole day, week & 30 days.

Also if a long post I.e. the Preakness I do it in word so not to lose it and then copy and paste.

I only wish I could copy and paste screenshots or do them. I've had Bill V. and even Ted take over my computer and he couldn't do it. Something about my set-up. Tim only recently learned to do it. You can learn a lot from screenshots. If I ever get the time I'll try again.

The tickets I post are photo copies of my actual betting ticket in my Twin Spires account. Stormy when I place a bet the ticket reads accepted. After the race is eun that changes to completed.

Tim I’m not seeing screenshots. You copy into the body of a post like so:

“Winning Ticket
May 19 3:04:17 PM Complete Parx Racing 6 Double $2.00 2,3,4/1,7,9 $18.00 $119.40 $101.40
Winning Combo
4[$11.80] 7[$15.40]”

You post screen shots from RDSS yes, but actual images of your tickets I don’t recall.

OH MY GOD !!! MIKE you are way off base with your post today. Look at your winning ticket post #4 in this thread and the multiple winning tickets Tim posts day after day and tell me the difference!! I know I am biased on this topic but for you to intimate that Tim & Mitch create their winning tickets is truly way over the top and you need to walk it back NOW

First off I want to say excellent job landing on the winner at a price because in my opinion that horse was actually the real favorite of the race once you stripped away the media narratives and public emotion.

This was a Grade 1 Triple Crown race for 3 year olds and Napoleon Solo was the only horse in the field who had already won a Grade 1 race. That matters to me in a major way because I never give a horse credit for something it has not already earned on the racetrack. A Grade 1 victory against elite company is proof of capability under the highest demands of the sport.

Meanwhile the pundits, talking heads, and social media crowd were focused on the celebrity horse, the feel good story horses, and Derby hype. Taj Mahal and Occelli were getting pushed heavily off reputation, recency bias, and visual impressions from prior races. But when I looked at the field, Napoleon Solo was the only horse that had already proven compatibility with the requirements of a Grade 1 environment.

To me that class foundation carried more weight than anything else in the race. The horse already demonstrated it could survive and win against top tier pressure and competition. In races like the Preakness, proven capability at the highest level means far more to me than projection, hype, or what a horse might become.

That is just my way of thinking and how I personally approach these types of races. Again thanks for taking the time to explain your process Mitch. Always enjoy reading different approaches and perspectives. All the best moving forward.
