Place Vs. Fave/Long Exacta Running Tab

[Grits]

Randall, this has faded, and interest is pretty much lost. What's the point in continuing? The reads are not accruing here any longer? No one is noting any of the longshots or exactas, but you and I for the most part, though AntiT. looks in now and then.

Due to our creating a banter back and forth, it started strong with great interest, but now its fizzled. What do you say we call it a done-deal?

You're doing the work, and ...you know...you don't have to keep it up.

Why don't we buy one another a couple of drinks in August, and we're square???

Hey Grits & Randall,
I still think this is a good thread and check it nearly everyday....

As Payson said, there are people who care and the study needs to go to 250 to work...It is in the Contest room so few people are going to read it. But some care and I sure do....I wasn't doing this for Joe Horseracing fan who isn't interested in the gambling aspect. If it was just you and me looking at it, I'd still want to do it. So sit back and relax. You will beat me, by what I don't know, but you don't have to crunch the numbers. And honestly it takes me like 10 minutes a night. I don't mind at all.

FWIW, I'm reading this post regularly. It's interesting.

I look in on it pretty much every day. If the banter runs out that's fine.
But I love studies and numbers so I would say keep it up. Its interesting to people that spend time thinking about their wagers.

And thanks to Randall for following through with the data collection and posting.

I think this thread is great. I'm a win/place better and reading this really has made me re-think a few things.

WP bettor and I usually backwheel favorites, this has been a good thread to check on daily. It might be nice just to see the figures without the banter, less posts to scroll through. I just need to find the right longshot to come in!!!

Thanks for keeping us informed!!!

I'm reading, even though you could do all of this with historical data. I still think it's interesting.

Ditto. Sometimes it's so easy to throw down a WP bet, but maybe that isn't the right thing to do.

[jman5581]

Are you guys tracking the % of winning bets to the total? Obviously the exacta will be smaller, just interested in what it turns out to be...

ditto, ditto, ditto.

This has been a great study. A near text case example in how a good test should be clearly outlined at the start and (hopefully) carried through to the end.

fwiw, I still think Randall's side will prevail.

I don't. It will be close. Need that exacta % to get back to 30 to have a shot.
