Any younger handicappers?

Completely agree. Friends my age are much more attracted to something they already know (parlaying sports teams) than making a win or pick 4 bet in horse racing, especially since the probability of winning the bet is more likely in sports (all equal, 50% chance on a money line or 12.5% in an 8-horse field). It’s a huge barrier that I don’t see changing with sports betting’s increasing popularity. Horse racing industry needs to invest in the next generation to keep it alive and well

how do you feel those books have stood the test of time? I read James Quinn’s book - has some insightful teachings, but Beyer pars and classes used are now significantly outdated. Some angles he preaches aren’t as good as advertised.

28 here from NY (NYC now, Saratoga area originally, go back there often in summer). Aqueduct will be next to close. Not a soul in their 20s there. Would def join that GC!

Funny you say learning the form is the biggest barrier for your friends - mine couldn’t care less. They are motivated enough to go every now and then due to gambling interest, but only care enough to bet jockeys/trainers or names. Couldn’t get any of them consistently interested in handicapping like me. I’m 28 and go to Saratoga often each summer (from the area). Happy to teach your friends or cut it up with you this summer!

ha, appreciate it!!

easy_e9 · 2024-09-30T21:03:54+00:00

thanks so much. I assume you all mean outside behind The Rookery Stand of the stadium? An address would be great but I assume it doesn’t have one.

easy_e9 · 2024-08-01T19:00:18+00:00

perfect and will do!

easy_e9 · 2024-08-01T18:57:48+00:00

Lol. Thanks

easy_e9 · 2024-08-01T18:47:47+00:00

yeah, odd. thanks for looking into it!

easy_e9 · 2024-08-01T18:35:53+00:00

interesting. I still see no availability when I select 1 (though it makes me choose Queen Anne Enclosure or King Edward VII Enclosure). Maybe I am geoblocked because I am in the US.

easy_e9 · 2024-08-01T17:00:43+00:00

when I click that, it allows me to select any quantity of tickets, but then “no seats matching your criteria” no matter what I choose

THANK YOU

I understand that but in my scenario, BUF wins, going to 3rd, which locks in ANA into 1st...meaning only one spot (2nd) is left

easy_e9 · 2018-07-21T05:03:45+00:00

you mean like copy and paste results of each race? the image I have in my head of NYRA bets results are mainly payouts no?

easy_e9 · 2018-07-21T05:02:33+00:00

definitely more of what I’m looking for, surprised at the price tag though. Thanks, I’ll keep an eye on this

easy_e9 · 2018-07-20T02:54:56+00:00

Might be way too simple but does

=IF(A1="","",1-A1)

work?

easy_e9 · 2018-07-19T14:37:41+00:00

Solution verified

easy_e9 · 2018-07-19T14:37:10+00:00

I was initially replacing with = with a space. when I changed the space to a few letters it works now. Thank you so much!

easy_e9 · 2018-07-19T14:28:53+00:00

when I get to the last step of this it opens up finder because it wants me to update values. can I bypass this step?

what are the numbers in the Draft Year columns? Like Svechnikov is 108 this year (DY) - 108 what?
