So how did you do in 2008? Winner/Loser?

10-4 sounds good , my wife is from huntington wv and i bought my first home in st pete off of 4th st north in 1979. about 3 miles from gandy blvd and derby lane. i went to TBD when george owned it and haven't been back since, guess it's change alot. they still have that big flea mkt down the street from there?

Twin Spires is great in being able to isolate bets and find where your strongest and weakest. The only two tracks I showed a profit at were Santa Anita and Tampa. Lost at all others. These are the numbers post-Saratoga when I opened the account:

All Bets %wins ROI $won/lost
309 19.42% +0.02 +32.50

Pick 3
19 21.05% +1.97 +481.00

W/P
87 28.74 -0.09 -40.70

exacta
86 12.79 -0.32 -202.70

win
62 17.74 -0.35 -98.90

What is interesting is I play exacta's a lot but is about my worst bet. I really thought I did well playing W/P and 28%+ is good but still lost money, but did better than playing just win bets by far. So, it looks like if I take the time to put wagers together, I'd be a lot better off playing pick 3's. It's a bit skewed as I hit one big one but still this information is telling me that's where I do the best.

i agree it helps keep you focus on what your best bets are. i have to place my win and place bets separate or they will show up as win/place on same ticket category the first few months on TS i made this mistake. you got a handle on your wagering and that is the area that will make or break any bettor , good luck to you this year.
