Tracking wagers
 
I have been tracking my wagers since 2008 in a vain attempt to find some sort of pattern...

I need to commemorate this point in time where all my indeces for the year are positive:

Win %: 22.2% ---> A little above my average
Win ROI: +12% ---> Major improvement over previous years
Exacta ROI: +244% ----> Nice score in the Florida Derby is carrying me thus far

Multi-Race ROI: +9.6% ----> Mostly DDs and P3s
Overall ROI: 53.4%

I've wagered roughly 1/3 of my yearly average so far. I routinely get killed on the TC and BC races.

Does anyone else do this?

53% and 244%?? How many wagers are we talking about? If this is about 5 days worth of play, I get it, but if you play 25+ times a year and collect 53% to the positive, I'd quit my day job.

1) I'm just a weekend player, and I don't play as much as I'd like at that (small child, family, you know...). So I am sure my volume of wagers is miniscule compared to some of you.

2) I'm a $2 player for the most part, so a $250 exacta can carry my ROI a long way!

3) My overall ROI since 2008 (including this year) is -8%, so I'm just hoping for a positive year! I'd be in trouble if I did this everyday :zz:.

After inputting the weekend numbers I was on the plus side in all categories I track, figure I should commemorate this momentous achievement in amateurish handicapping.
