    Ed Bain Discussion Thread
    In this thread we will discuss ways in which the Bain past performances enhance our selection process. Any and all are welcome to join in, any observations regarding trends are welcome, all Bain selections are welcome. Lets see just what we can accomplish using the Bain stats.

    General discussion of how best to use information found within Bain stats is also needed, discussion of overlay betting is encouraged, you think you see an overlay, please tip us off. The Bain Odds Table follows.

    Bain employ an odds percentage table to know when to bet the statistic as an overlay. As an example, the Automatics have a 40% win rate that equates to 3/2 odds. Bain passes the bet if it drops to 7/5, which is a 42% hit rate and a mathematical underlay.

    ODDS % TABLE
    Odds Decimal Percentage Pay Out
    1-10 0.10 90% $2.20
    1-5 0.20 83% $2.40

    7-5 1.40 42% $4.80
    3-2 1.50 40% $5.00
    8-5 1.60 38% $5.20
    9-5 1.80 36% $5.60

    Lets start by looking at today's Bain automatics, as we know from the first post, autos hit at a 40% rate, thus odds of a least 3/2 are required at post time for us to bet any automatic.


    As we can see, we have 16 possible bets that are not morning line favorites, and 6 possible bets that are morning line favorites, today we have 22 total possible plays.

    Critical to those who follow will be watching very closely the post time or closing odds, as this is what we will use to determine if we bet.

    As we learn more we will attempt to get to where Bain is, betting only the 5 best bets of the those that are available on any given day, although it is not yet understandable how to narrow the field since we must make many of our desicions at post time.

        Me too, I hope I didn't screw something up posting those links above? Everything was working fine prior to my posting those links. Maybe I need to edit the post?

            Well, we know for sure that the horse Emily's Twist in the 1st at Aqueduct is an automatic, at issue will be closing odds, we must get at least 3/2 on this selection before we can bet, currently the odds are 6-5, thus making this a no bet situation, if the odds drift up prior to post we might be inclined to reconsider our options.

              I've used Bain for quite awhile, he's been around a long time.
              My capping is ALWAYS based on Trainers and his site leans strongly in that direction.
              Bain one of the few that do and a huge advantage over JoeQ bettor that spends hours capping the horses instead of trainers, imo

                Thank you for your input MrBrown, hopefully you will be a regular in this thread, an experienced user of Bain stats would be a huge asset in here.

                    MrBrown, could I ask, are you able access to the Bain stats now? As some here a unable to use it (505 error code), also, does Bain often have server issues?

                    Thanks

                        It sure helped you stay alive in that Hawthorne contest... How did you end up by the way?

                          Hope you had $$ on that 9!

                            nope site down now for me too, i did them last night, 2nd race was 3 6 7 i'm pretty sure is what i saw, if comes back up i'll let you know for sure...one thing you want to look at besides trainers % is the YELLOW PAR times in the horses box combined with that trainer angle... me i box 3 in the exotics so the order of finish is unimportant to me as long as one wins, obviously i want the longest shot to win, as happened in the 1st with the #9 score at 15-1

                                              And yet another winner.

                                                              I guess we need more practice at our interpertation.

                                                                it takes a few days practice but you'll see that trainers are most important, then you can use the YELLOW par times to separate... the best trainers in 4th are 5 6 7 8, using par times i see 7 scratched so 5 6 8 if boxing
