My Personal Method - An Amazing Track Record Since 1996!

The mark of a truly winning handicapping methodology is its staying power. Sales of My Personal Method are still rolling along! This, along with thousands of copies sold in the U.S. and internationally since 1996, prove its effectiveness and reliability. If you're a casual player, maybe a "weekend warrior," My Personal Method will become your go-to way to handicap with success. It was designed to work without a computer, and especially to avoid "handicapper's fatigue."

This is not an automatic system. It is most definitely a method. If you're familiar with the basic factors of handicapping--speed, class, and pace--My Personal Method will be a powerful addition to your handicapping approach.

You'll also receive a great batch of free bonuses including the popular printed exotic wagering charts, and (since you obviously have a computer!) a free exotic wagering calculator and a free dutching program! Both print and e-book versions are available, so you can get it immediately and start using it right away! Of course, there's a 30-day 100% unconditional money-back guarantee. Click here for a free look inside. Get your copy of My Personal Method today!

The Superstars of Handicapping Software features 10 different high percentage methodologies to arrive at a consensus.  Using a standard sort function, you can track each methodology individually to be in control of your handicapping for all types of races! For example, you'll have up-to-the-minute totally accurate trainer stats covering every imaginable situation – layoffs, first-timers, distance, surface switches, etc. All of these stats are also incorporated into the selection process.
 

Of course, the program also includes the most popular computer handicapping features, like speed, pace, class, earnings and other options to view/print the daily program, past performances, a summary sheet of suggested wagers, and even more. WOW!
 

Superstars also calculates its own morning line!  It's based on handicapper Mark Cramer’s book, The Odds On Your Side, which details how to calculate an accurate betting line as opposed to someone's best guess at what the odds should be. You'll use this tool over and over again to locate overlooked horses that are overlooked because the general public doesn't have the information you'll have!

The Class/Speed Riddle Resolved!

Winning with High Speed Rated Dropdowns

Is a 74 speed rating at the $16,000 level equal to a 74 speed rating at the $25,000 level?

Can class be equated with speed, and if so, HOW??

The answer is in Winning with High Speed Rated Dropdowns, which is based on a handicapper's determination of the strong relationship between class changes (specifically dropdowns) and speed figures. This discovery led to "dropdown" race angles for many plays, such as The Speed Horse Three-Race Back Angle; The Shipper's Place Angle; The One Race After Claim Angle--and MORE!  This is truly a handicapping learning experience that can be fun and profitable.
