Well then by this logic, you can spend the next 2 hours railing about the other useless posts on this forum. There are lots of them.

The guy also noted he hit it USING the product, so perhaps some folks may use the \"redboard\" room and learn something.

So to answer your trivia question, there may be more people than you think interested in the race. You may think its useless, others may not feel the same way.

Can anyone claim anything is \"long term\" profitable when it comes to horse racing??

[Furious Pete]

Learn from this? The one truly astonishing aspect of this is that there is a guy out there that have used TG since the 90\'s, that are betting off of form ratings.

I think it\'s due for another rap lyric:

Yo shawty I move lines cause I\'m a linemover,
I share it here cause I am desperate for n\' approver.
So stop it all along, with the bitchin and the hatin\'.
Let me get back to moving lines with TG\'s form rating.

He meant the figures on the sheet, pretty clear to many of us.

The horse looked very good and paid $60. Its not a bad idea to go to the RB Room every once in awhile and review races.

The guy is excited about hitting a $60 horse and gave the product some credit.  He\'s not the first person to do that here. Geezus, Arrest the guy.

Well there is a product offered on this site (and in the redboard room) called form ratings showing Mr. Charles on top, and Redboard Reddington as the 3rd choice, so that is not so obvious to me at least. Obviously I\'m only kidding with the rest, and I agree that this redboarding issue is getting boring. It\'s just that form ratings redboarding. That is spectacular.

Geez just move on.

Nice hit. I\'m glad you were able to use the product and make some money.

I kind of flamed this thread with the challenge to share more of your scores using TG, in particular wagering concepts, so I agree with several posters in the thread. I love to hear your winnings, your wagers. The name of the board implies discussing past events. I can imagine  each of us has left the track or living room downs on days where you look at your use of TG and say to yourself \"how did I not crush this card today?\". Before TG, I spent many years with the Sartin crew. Day after day, including seminar days lead by Doc, the vast  majority of the crew would head to the bus with comments like \"I had 7 winners, but lost money on the day\". They were big on dutching wagers, but they had a plan. I\'ve sat with PDub and several other TG\'rs at Saratoga and left the track with similar lament. As JB and Rocky have pointed out, the game is about having an edge and an advantage number wise/odds wise, thus one reason to use TG. But, as Jeremy Plonk pointed out yesterday on Byk\'s show, that brings us to our wagering strategy for the day/strategy to maximize the use of the product. There is no place to learn that. I know it is kind of like leaching/learning jazz, or art, as there are not always finite answers. But if we can\'t learn it here through what should be some of the best handicappers in the game, then where is the newcomer, or the veteran to turn?  It seems using TG can be a bit like coaching the Green Bay Packers - you have arguably the top weapon in the game in Aaron Rogers (TG numbers for us). But, your defense(wager construction) is so terrible that you never win as often as you should. Just like that game where offense & defense are each half of games outcome, (I know one side of the ball can win there once in a while just like the fastest horse can win here, but over the long run you need both sides of the ball) for us, the TG numbers are only half of the equation, with wager construction being the other(and I would say more important) half. And for the most part it has few ways to learn.  I might suggest to TG Jeff, that while the NYRA bets offers are awesome, maybe a promotion of a  wager construction type forum for this board might even be more valuable. Players that win, play more. And to win, most need that wager construction half of the game. If a person does  not wish to follow that, so be it -- stay on this \"reboard\" room. But for those looking to maximize our Aaron Rodgers advantage with TG, we need more help from the defense, our wager construction.

[Airnate012]

Wager construction has been the most frustrating for me, so I\'m all for a wager strategy section. Defense wins championships.

[Boscar Obarra]

Ask Benter

[Airnate012]

I doubt very many that post on here are using the complex computer systems that Benter used/uses (or any other syndicate).

Handicapping is offense. Handicapping is defense.\"Ticket construction\" is talk radio.

[hellersorr]

A good friend of mine used to say:  \"This is a very simple game.  You throw the ball.  You catch the ball.  You hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.  Sometimes it rains.\"

Think about that for a while.

You couldn\'t be more wrong.
