|  Saratoga Public Handicappers Scorecard http://www.equidaily.com/bestbet/saratog2.html Bill Taylor Saratogian 131-394 Matt Graves Albany Times Union 130-394 ... $752.00 Dave LitfinDaily Racing Form 128-395 Mark Cusano Daily [Schenectady] Gazette 120-395 Mark HoffmanThe [Amsterdam] Recorder 119-393 ... $812.00 "Also putting up solid numbers, the group in the 109-120 range - and near the top of that group was Mark Hoffman of The Recorder [Amsterdam, NY] who tallied the highest ROI among the handicappers that keep track of those totals. He was the only one among those recording ROI numbers to 'beat the meet' and show a flat-bet profit." |

|   Which shows why betting every race is a fool's errand. |

|   Kudos to HHH for being the best of the crew... I do have a question: Is there some info missing? How do you have a positive ROI ("beating the Saratoga meet") and yet not increase the bankroll from its original balance ($1000)? |

|   OK, I was able to get to the site and now I think I understand. If you wagered $2 for 393 races ($786 total) and the balance went to $812, you'd be $26 ahead, beating the meet. (this is all obviously paraphrasing what HHH said in his blog) So, to compare apples and apples, his $1000 mythical bankroll, which he did not use all of, would have been $1026... |
