Can a consistent long-term profit be acheived in horseracing markets?

[Bobby Fischer]

some Quirky track configuration info that you should take note of:
races 5,7 today at the About 1 1/16th turf distance.
Starting near a slight turn in the shoot, they go about 8 seconds before the shoot turn, and then enter Turn1 at about 27 seconds. Difficult for outside speed, particularly those who have built their past performances on easy leads. Outside posts require skilled handling by the jockeys.

allright...
we can see in the 7th that the uncoupled Matz entry(#s4,11) plays a role in the track configuration information. The 11 potentially lays over the field in talent, has a jockey that can judge the track configuration and the pace in Dominguez. The 4 has potential to clear the field, he's in there to be a rabbit, but could still compete for the tri... Too bad Kyle Branch is on. Matz is no dummy, Branch off and Napravinik on the 4. Also Add the potent drug Amicar to the 11.

Edge factor is just Value times estimatedHit%
=Value*hit%

Edgefactor is just an easier way of saying all that.
You can use it to decide how much you want to bet if you don't want randomness to cause you to ruin your bankroll.

Value is the $2price times estimated% divided by 2 value = ($2price*hitProbability)/2
So a $6 horse with a 1/3hit probability would be a break even wager or 1.00.

will you handle this guy once and for all...

we should do a mythical contest... 1000 bankroll for a 2 week period. something like that

i want to see a heads-up contest between jcs and bobby fischer, no holds barred. start with mythical $1000, first one to $2000 wins. fischer uses edge factor, jcs can use his own system or a crystal ball, whatever works best.

my money is on jcs and his crystal ball.

comments: good price on High percentage barn stretch-out in a weak field of maidens with no other big% barns, not this time. Horse pulls up after stopping badly on the backstretch.
