Bucket plugging notes to self 1


In this blog, I have repeatedly said that 'the move is a monster when it hits.' The operative word in that statement is 'when.'  And, it has everything to do with my attempts to plug the wagering hole. 

Had I the patience to  only bet convincing 'monster-moves,'  guarantee my ROI would increase. I have tried. But, my need for gratification seeks opportunities with my non-move bets–best Beyers, lone speed, etc.  I am already taking the worst of it by analyzing 'bad' races (maidens, one win, for example)

Facing the reality that 50% of races are won by the first-or second-favorite should give me some decent perspective. On the average nine race card, that leaves maybe two or three possibles for long-shots. 

I hope I'm listening.

Of all the important handicapping factors, the one I pay least attention to is recency. That is where I will start.
