Possible new handicaping show
 

I was hopeful to get Rock Hard Ten on board to do a weekly handicapping show. I was going to tell his ugly ass to talk into his laptop and e-mail me the saved file. I'd colorfully edit it, post it on YouTube, and a smash hit would certainly be born.

The deal fell apart when RHT became emotionally unstable to the point of lunacy.

Instead, I'm going to do a weekly DrugS Handicapping Half Hour of Power Youtube show.

Aiming for three ten minute segments a week. I'm thinking one segment will be sort of a briefer Trips and Traps rip-off where I analyze a few races from the past week from across the country where I like a probable bet back and bet against.

The second segment will be a betting preview of two or three races the upcoming weekend with thoughts and bets. Maybe a big race or two plus a smaller race of interest.

The final segment will be a general handicapping tip type dealio. I put one together this morning to see how long it would take. Took a half an hour to do a 10:30 piece with a lot of cuts and save it.

Obviously now that I got the hang of it a little -- I can get it done faster, but will need to do it better. The forms came back blurry, the RR thistle downs race wasn't a good feed, and Cigar's win streak was not all at the grade 1 level like I mysteriously said for some reason. Got to pick more subtle and valuable topics as well.

Anyway. I'm pretty sure I can get this where I spend less than 2 hours a week on it... and still have high quality and watchable show that probably only 6 people will watch anyway.

That kicked ass. Nice work Doug

great job dougie fresh..

Doug, Really nice work!!! Definitely some useful information for the more serious horseplayer.


At first, I thought you sounded like Steve with a cold.

Too bad PG flipped out as he would've provided some valuable insight. ;)

Really good Douglas.. Will link these up for you as they roll out.

Where is PG? Did he get banned again?

you should use a talking sock for commentary..:tro:

The talking sock cleanup lock of the day.

Looks like a hit to me, well done Doug.

Mr.Socko!:eek:

That was good.. nice work.

Really nice job Doug.

Watched it and really did like it Druggie but can I make one teensy suggestion?

I think I can cause I believe you're the type who can take something someone says for what it is with the understanding that it is NOT criticism.

I don't want to watch words.

You're a nice looking guy and, to be honest, even if you weren't? I would rather see YOU and have you cut away to the pp's, etc.

"Running the most efficient race..."

I don't want to click on the link and immediately wonder if the text will continue to appear while you narrate.

Once it didn't I was waiting to see who was speaking.

Do you know what I'm saying?

I wouldn't begin with text cause it's a turn off.

I think you did a terrific job and this is something i would continue to view so please don't let your feelings be hurt and know that I want this to be a very successful venture!

Great job. :)

Whether he is good looking or not, keep in mind that over 99% of all viewers for his videos will be male.

Also, his young age might lead people to not take him seriously, something he had expressed to me in the past.

Thirdly, mystery can be a good thing.

:tro:

Ill watch Dougie. I would not have been able to comment anyway, working on a new capping gig. Its not a longshot, but its not a lock. Id say Im 7-2 in an 8 horse field to get this.

What new handicapping gig are you working on?

Either way Ill let you know after I know if I have it or not.

I won't hold my breath waiting.

Yea, I actually have been holding my breath since September about it. I thought I was pretty much out till I got an email on Tuesday. It would be cool if your were being sincere, but whatever.... Nice call on El Padrino. The top 2 out of that race are going to be OK. Did Calvin really have to push the button on the 3 that early?
