Download or read book The Path to Harness Racing Handicapping Profits written by Douglas Masters and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a LARGE PRINT format paperback using an 18 pt. Arial font. This book represents three decades of handicapping and betting harness races and is a summary of observations that are important to being a winning player. This book summarizes the conclusions on what made the author a winning player. There is no magic formula to become a winning player and the author is the first to say that there is more than one road to profits. This book is the road taken by Doug Masters to becoming a winning player. Becoming a winning player is part art and part skill, so it is impossible to summarize it as a mechanical method; however, Doug attempts to outline his process in the second half of the book. This book may be difficult for beginning harness handicappers to read because it does not explain any basic terminology. There are, however, glossaries of harness racing terms online as well in the racing programs of harness tracks. There are no winning examples in this book. This is a quote from the author in the introduction. "You will find no past performances listed in this book; this is intentional. Anyone who has been around harness racing for even a few years has probably read various books and publications offering a handicapping system. All of them will have examples of how a handicapping system or angle picked a winner. Anyone can do this, especially when so many of these authors are working backwards from the winner. To me, it is simply a waste of time. And besides, only a mediocre or inexperienced handicapper is going to believe there is a single path to success in wagering. This book consists of my observations of the sport and how it relates to my own handicapping perspective. If you are looking for a system that represents some sort of absolute truth, you're looking in the wrong place." Topics include: Handicapping Factors, Drivers, Horse Form, Speed, Pace, Class, Post position, Track, Statistics, Betting multiple racetracks.

Download or read book The Logical Choice written by G. Cohail and published by . This book was released on 2013-04-29 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Logical Choice is a great piece of work. Well done!" ~ Ed Watts If the challenge of picking 'the winner' in every race is what motivates you when it comes to horse racing, this book is not directed at you, though there are insights within its pages that may help you with your endeavors. The sections on Beyer Speed Figures, track variants, how to calculate more accurate running times, and how to find 59% winners and still lose money are more than worth the price of this book. However, if your interest is in making money while betting on horse races, you need to face facts. Playing favorites is financial ruin in the making, yet most people (72.7% in 2010) end up wagering on the three horses with the lowest odds in race after race. Unfortunately, you cannot make long-term profits betting on such horses. You need to find horses that pay you $16.60, $27.40, $18.80, etc. - what the author calls Value Plays - if you want to make money. This book will show you how he manages to do so. Professional handicapper G W Cohail has handicapped horse races for over fifty years. In the pages of this book, he challenges many aspects of traditional handicapping others take for granted and often swear by, including the revered Beyer Speed Figures, par times, daily track variants, etc. He then demonstrates how he successfully bets on horse races with making money, not picking winners, as his primary goal. Mr. Cohail spent decades handicapping races in a traditional way, always looking to zero-in on 'the winner.' He considered himself a top-notch handicapper, and he averaged 38% winners two years in a row. Yet he never made a lot of money from his handicapping skills. Luckily, he never lost the rent money either. Then one day while watching the tote board his life changed forever. Is it possible to wager on horse races and win? The Logical Choice: Tote Board Handicapping Made Easy provides insights into wagering for profit. The concepts presented in this work are usable by anyone, whether they be an experienced handicapper or a budding novice. In many respects, not knowing how to handicap races makes you a better candidate as the less you think you know about handicapping, the less you will have to unlearn.

Download or read book Bet to Win at the One Half Mile Harness Race Tracks written by Joseph Edward Brierly and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-23 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author Dr. Joseph E. Brierly earned a Ph.D. in mathematics from the Wayne State University in 1975. As part of his graduate level mathematics program he took many advanced courses in the theory of probability and statistics. Later on in his professional career as a mathematician working for the US Army he mastered computer systems design. Interest in applying mathematics to games of chance followed naturally from his mathematics and computer skills. He spent his hobby time pursuing finding ways to optimize bets at harness race tracks and optimizing chances for winning a lottery. This book offers harness race fans an extensive statistical analysis of outcomes of harness races. Most everything impacting the outcome of a harness race is found some where in this book. Every important factor is statistically analyzed. For example, questions like what are the best and worst post-positions? What affect does ability of harness race drivers have? Many situations were investigated statistically to identify profitable bets. Three well-known 1/2 mile tracks were sampled for a complete season in order to compile a database of outcomes tied to their payoffs. In two previous books the author did a similar analysis of both 5/8th and one mile tracks. These books are still available and should complement this book dedicated to statistically analyzing 1/2 mile harness race tracks. At the heart of winning at the harness race track is having understanding that other bettors do not have. Any strategy could be profitable provided it is based on knowing and using statistically profitable betting situations not generally known by the other bettors. Horse race gamblers should keep in mind that every dollar bet at any racetrack automatically loses 20 to 35 percent before the race begins from house take and state tax. This makes it difficult to break even much less make a profit. Yet, the author found ways to make profit on his betting every year for well over 20 years. This could not have happened without using both quantitative and qualitative analysis based on an intricately designed simulation and expert system battery of programs. The book divulges many of the secrets employed by the author to make yearly profits betting at the harness races. The basic system designed by Dr. J. Brierly relies on simulating a race using accurate handicaps for major factors, such as, post position, driver skill, trainer skill, horse speed, past performance outcomes, class factors, historical data for each horse in the race, weather and climate conditions and to a degree what is called trip handicapping. Basically, the author simulates each race using handicaps for all of the factors impacting the outcome. The best entries are next subjected to qualitative analysis of statistics for non-quantifiable factors like recent scratches, breaks, type of driver, long layoffs, and much more. Many simulated picks are ruled out based on statistics for qualitative factors. Bets are made only on situations that show an overall statistical profit over a large sample. This book uses a method known as 'fuzzy sampling' not employed in the first two books. Fuzzy sampling allows one to do statistics on look-a-like samples. To illustrate suppose an entry picked to win by simulation has 10 identified qualitative traits. Ordinarily finding a sample with that many traits would result in a very small sample. Using fuzzy sampling one could look at all outcomes that have 9 of 10 of the traits, 8 of 10 of the traits, ...etc.. Surprisingly it is found that many look-alike samples enlarge the sample size dramatically and offer statistically valid profit-making situations. This innovation cannot be found any where in books on harness racing but here. This is truly the best book ever written on harness race betting. The other two previous books are of the same caliber but do not have fuzzy sampling.

Download or read book 14 Easy To Understand Harness Racing Betting Angles written by Ken Osterman and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angles are a way of picking winners from the past performances using a set of rules. The great thing about an angle is that once the rules are learned, there is not a lot of judgment required. Many handicappers seem to prefer to handicap an entire race card as if they are some sort of chess master, playing the races like a chess board. And I can understand this attempt at becoming a master class handicapper. But still, I've never been a big fan of a robust method of handicapping. The type of analysis that takes into account every conceivable factor, and then weighs all of these variables to make a selection. I have attempted this type of handicapping, but when I began to use angles for selecting winners, I found that I was spending less time handicapping, and I also discovered that I was winning at the same rate. The angles I have written about are those I use betting at harness tracks in race books in Las Vegas. Some of the angles in this book work better at some tracks than others, but the ones I have included here work at the largest number of tracks that I have researched. In a previous book I wrote, 19 Valuable Horse Racing Betting Systems, I explained angles for harness racing, along with thoroughbred and quarter horse angles. The three harness angles in that book have been reprinted in this book, but everything else appears here for the first time. The rules of the handicapping angles in this book are clearly explained and easy to use. Here is the list of the angles: Frequent Play Angles The Basic Elimination Method The Quick Rating Method for Harness Racing The Top Speed Rating Method The Median Speed Rating Method The Power Rating Method Spot Play Angles The Qualifier Advantage Morning Line Overlay The Non-Winners of X Races Lifetime Angle Last Race Winner Top Speed Rating Second Race Back Lowest Purse Value Last 10 Top Earnings Last 4 starts Trotter Angles Tote Board Magic

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author Dr. Joseph E. Brierly earned a Ph.D. in mathematics from the Wayne State University in 1975. As part of his graduate level mathematics program he took many advanced courses in the theory of probability and statistics. In his professional career as a mathematician working for the US Army he mastered computer systems design. Interest in applying mathematics to games of chance became a hobby that led naturally to developing computer algorithms for optimizing ways to make money at the harness race tracks. He succeeded in making profits every year for over 20 years at a number of harness race tracks using the simulation and expert systems that he designed. This book passes on to the harness race bettor the many secrets that he found leading to making winning bets. Most everything imaginable impacting the outcome of a harness race is found somewhere in this book. Every important factor in the likely outcome of a harness horse race is statistically addressed. For example, questions like what are the best and worst post-positions? What variables impact success at picking winners? What is the effect of a horse winning the last race? Many such situations were investigated in this statistical analysis of harness racing at one mile tracks. At the heart of winning at the track is to have understanding that competing bettors do not have. Any strategy could be profitable provided it is based on knowing what the competition does not know and use. Whether betting perfectas, trifectas, superfectas, daily doubles or just plain straight bets, one can succeed only by having an edge on the other bettors. This book gives many ways of gaining that edge. No other book accomplishes that objective other than the author's first book on the subject that dealt mainly with the 5/8th mile harness race track. This one dedicates itself to the one mile harness race track. There is a vast difference in how the three one mile tracks statistically analyzed behave. This book highlights their differences that impact betting strategy. The reader will easily recognize the three well-known one mile harness racetracks covered in the book. It is possible to win money at any of the three tracks, if you know their character. Knowing when to bet and when to refrain from betting is one of the main things the bettor will learn from this book. The author sees no downside to controlled gambling as long as one does not gamble more than what can be afforded to lose. On the upside gambling is a great way to add zest to life. It is guaranteed to give healthy adrenalin highs, if done in a sane way. The author knows many horse race gamblers that have spent a lifetime with this hobby. Handicapping keeps the brain actively healthy. Exercising the brain is as important as exercising the body. And there is no better way to spend an evening with friends than at a harness racetrack. The author has made many friends over the years that he spent visiting harness racetracks.
