My Personal Method - An Amazing Track Record Since 1996!

The mark of a truly winning handicapping methodology is its staying power. So far in 2014, sales of My Personal Method are booming. 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!

Well-known handicapper Jon Worth is now offering his Big 4 + 1 method, a precise, consistent method that shows profits to win, place and show.

The Big 4 +1
Paper or Software

In a test of the method, not only were all of Jon's plays, but  an additional 52-month study was conducted, which involved hundreds of thousands of races.  While, as expected, the overall hit rate and ROIs were more modest in the longer test, the results were still superb at every track tested (30 of them).

Obviously, many players are skeptical of the claims made for various racetrack systems and software. So how about this: a twice-your-money-back guarantee if you can show a 30-day period at any track that does not show a win or show profit with The BIG 4 +1.This kind of guarantee used to be used as a 'come-on' back in the old days of system marketing, but now, this offer is being made because of the proven track record in the ability of this system to generate consistent profits. And, even if you do not take advantage of the 'double-back' offer, you can still return the method or software for refund of the retail price, for any reason whatsoever.

Click Here for Jon's introduction, workout, a breakdown of the 52-month study, and complete details on ordering your copy.
