You are beating the public with one simple figure by 27% at Mountaineer.<BR/><BR/>We detailed that in this post here:<BR/><BR/>http://pullthepocket.blogspot.com/2008/05/handicapping-can-you-be-pro.html<BR/><BR/>Ian Meyers noted this in that post:<BR/><BR/>The pros are between 0.93-0.97 ROI (pre-rebate) on average. Some years they might be at or above 1.00 but it's pretty rare. I understand Peter Wagner hit 1.03 on $150mm wagered about 10 years ago and we have two players above 1.04 on more than $2mm in handle.<BR/><BR/>I dont remember names much any longer either. I think I am getting old :)Pull the Pockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05082676049275768769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-24441764681201036452008-09-06T13:35:00.000-04:002008-09-06T13:35:00.000-04:00PTP,If a ROI of 1.04 equates to a $40 profit on $1...PTP,<BR/>If a ROI of 1.04 equates to a $40 profit on $1000 in action then I would say it's like shooting minnows in a barrel. The next day did you even know the names of the horses you won on or was it I had the 5 horse in the last race?<BR/>One night recently after a few of us had spent a few hours at the track betting River Downs, Fort Erie, etc for entertainment purposes I said I've got a trivia question. Name one horse you bet on today. Not one guy could come up with a name. Numbers yes but no names.<BR/>RGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-52378109597552210532008-09-06T01:43:00.000-04:002008-09-06T01:43:00.000-04:00Far too much racing is the understatement of the y...Far too much racing is the understatement of the year!<BR/>Anyway, I vaguely remember going to Greenwood once or twice as a youngster.. but mostly my goal was to find refund tickets and hope that I could buy the latest Nintendo hit like Mike Tyson's punchout(no not the one with Robin Givens).<BR/>I do however remember the days when simulcasting first started and how it was a treat to have those races become part of the program.<BR/>Say for instance races 1-6 were from your home track, then race 7 was say the NA Cup from TO, then race 10 was a race from Jersey, etc.<BR/>Maybe we have to go backwards again before we can go forward?<BR/><BR/>best regards,<BR/><BR/>Louis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
