I haven’t. I’m really not a fan of the make your picks and they’re set option. I know they have options to play as the races go but not as many people play in those tournaments. I just started playing the horses again recently so just trying to get my feet wet again. I’m pretty clueless for the derby in two weeks lol

OK Jelly yeah I prefer to cap in real time but when I play tournaments I play the Pick N Pray where all picks must be in before 1st post. I find overall that I do better in Pick N pray and it Mitigates shot takers to an extent.

Notes: Jelly doing well but is about even without the $300 ex he hit about a week ago. Jelly's ceiling much higher than the JBEX show as he plays ex in real life and here as well. EX are a great way to max out the profits imo. However we have mitigated it a bit by making all ex a $1 increment max. thx.

Ez, to make it more reflective of my real life wagers, if you want to go back and grade my winning exactas as $1 instead of $2 from the beginning I’d approve. It would make more sense.

your call jelly. will move the big ex to half. Not sure if you hit any others but they were small if you did. . Make it about the same retroactively. sounds good. thx.
Notes: Jelly hit an $311 ex about 1.5 weeks ago but that was a $2 ex which we have now changed to $1 max. so Jelly and I have agreed to change that from a $311 ex hit to $155.50. we move forward with 2W each horse with option to move to $4w and max $1 ex. THX.

NO doubt same with JBEX. You both want to have the parameters stated in advance and hold true. Let the chips fall where they May. It's fun to post and track your action especially if you do well. I expect both of you to fare good at the end. GL.

Seems you've read the books and put into practical application correctly Professor.

OK jelly good deal. You have learned a lot for only 8 years of experience. More so than me in about 11 years of seriously playing. Keep up the good works.

Yeah. Always more to learn. STRs thread is good to see other people’s questions and him (former trainer) breaking down what a trainer/horse is trying to do in a race/training. I can’t see this stuff like him. I can see some things but not the detail he does. I also wish I had more time to watch more replays. That’s something I would add in with my capping as well as additional notes. Just don’t have as much time.
