Sheets man rules Coast contest
While Angela Daniels used the Ragozin sheets to help win the $30,000 second-place prize at the DRF/NTRA National Handicapping Championship, sheets expert Len Friedman did even better.
Friedman, the top analyst for Ragozin, won the Coast 2 Coast Super Tournament that was conducted last Thursday through Saturday at the Suncoast and the Barbary Coast.
His score of 9,082 was 25 percent higher than second-place finisher Bernardo Wiesner at 7,210. The 424 players in the tournament made nine mythical $100 win bets each of the three days. First place earned Friedman $93,100, but that was only part of the story. Friedman had two entries and had identical scores with both on each of the first two days, sitting in 12th and 13th place after Day 1 and in third and fourth after Day 2. On Saturday, he diverged on some of his plays and his second entry finished fourth to earn an additional $10,640. Another $500 award for having the fourth-highest score on the final day brought his overall earnings to $104,240.
Friedman used a similar strategy in the inaugural Suncoast Invitational in March 2001, when he had the top two scores on the first day to claim $7,000 in daily prizes, then wound up finishing second (with earning $52,190) and third (for an additional $27,630).
Wiesner won $46,550 for finishing second, and Doris Smith $22,610 for third. Mike Mayo was fifth, earning $7,980.
The next Coast Casinos tournament is the Championship at The Orleans, April 3-5.
Let me know how he does when he has to bet \"REAL MONEY\".
You are right, he should probably give back the $180,000 he won at the two tournaments. I have heard he does very well betting real money by the way. What a trip!
Congratulations to Len.
What took you so long to post this JJ? HP
On second thought, it makes you wonder why he can\'t ever post an analysis that focuses on less than six horses, since he clearly has the skills to pick winners. HP
Probably because they are focused on producing good numbers and not on telling you how to place a bet. If you want tips, buy the Green Sheet.
