Absolutely thrilled with the naysayers showing up. The same thing happened last year, on the Delmar forum and a couple of the computer people validated my earnings claims. So I started posting there. After posting about a $2000 hit in January 2006 on an $18 bet, then a $10,000 hit in early February on a $32 ticket they now tolerate me.

My home forum is Nola, but I post anywhere.

In no particular order:

Philcski: I hope my last PM was clear.

Hooves: I buy the form in bulk, I use colored pens extensively, marking what is germane to that race such as; par times, internal fractions, turf rails and trainer intent. Collective races and understanding the condition book are strengths.

Point: I do not know what a signature is.

Spider: Thanks for the thread

Scuds: I expect to have the FG pick 4 friday and will post it on this forum. Indeed the year is not over yet.

Rupert: A normal week would be a $24 pick four bet on the best midwest track running on Sunday. I do play when I can get the DRF well ahead of time on Thurs or Friday, again in the midwest. I did play Delmar this past August, but will not again. Keeneland was very good to me this meet. I posted one horse per day 16 days, so $32 for the meet. I hit three winners (with six seconds) and the winners added up to $82, a salty but meaningless ROI indeed.

Apologies to someone about Robbie Albarado. I was live at Louisiana Downs to three horses in the pick 4. And Robbie wiped out two of them, one was 30-1 and I would probably have taken down the pool (some 30,000) had he won. Robbie got seven days, but they paid 3 of 4 and I got almost $400 for each of the three tix. Good cappin. BBB
