First the Total's:
Over 39 Races through five days posted at SBR. Winning tickets in 21 (53.8%) of them.
Exacta $1,920 In $3,050.30 Out +$1130.30 Profit ROI = +58.9%
Trifecta $3,672 In $6,944.37 Out +3,272.37 Profit ROI = +89.1%
Make no mistake there are ebbs and flows to horse racing. Weather its a track bias that isn't account for, or its just a day that the favorites seem to get us right at the wire on every race to cut into the profits. It's important to not wager more than 4% (3% if you can) of your bank on each race.
If you scroll to row 770 you'll see that my top 5 (Column "F") win at a 65% clip with place horse getting there 67% of the time. This hit rate is why I structure tickets the way I do. I have no fear of gamblers ruin, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Good record keeping over the years has helped me weather the losing streaks, and point out weak spots in my handicapping. As you can see I keep track of all my races, and it's all right there for all to see.
On to Sunday 8/21/2016:
Covering FOUR tracks today and 5 races, but I may come in later with some Ellis & Del Mar. Tracks so far are Gulfstream, Monmouth, Saratoga, and Woodbine. Always check back for changes in case of late scratches or track condition changes.
NOTE: Don't bet too early as I will drop a race from the list if the right scratches are made, or if the track conditions change.
At the bottom of the sheet I have wagering bundles, and instruction tabs (3 tabs total). I've tried to come up with the best way to structure tickets for all budgets. I encourage everyone to read this as it explains how the Index works, and the bettor can get the best use out of it.
Play within your means.
