Dear ValueCapper and Friend,
Tomorrow’s Derby preps are the Wood Memorial and the Santa Anita Derby.
I’m not sure there’s much value there, but there might be in one of the undercards.
I made a video for you looking at those races, and also showing you a couple of long shots.
These were from yesterday, April 3, 2014, and the day before, April 2, 2014.
Long. Shots.
As in a $49.20 horse and a $121.50 horse.
For those of you on the Wizards’ Forum, I’m going to go into great detail on this month’s DVD, but I wanted to give you a sneak peek.
Funny story.
I’m sitting at the book yesterday, laptop open and iPad propped up so I could visit the BLAM Wizards’ Forum.
Fellow sitting next to me snickers and says, ‘With two computers, I guess you can’t lose’.
I thought he was being pleasant, and said something like, ‘Well, there are no sure thing.’
He said, ‘Except that all you get is chalk with those things. I’d rather use my head.’
On cue, two horses came down the stretch at the Pimlico 5th and my new ‘computer expert buddy’ was screaming for them to finish and ‘stay just like that’.
As I live and breathe, they were even money and 9/5.
The exacta paid $7.80 for 2.
The fellow had a $5 exacta box, and was quite proud of himself.
I tried.
I wish I were a better person, but I couldn’t resist.
When he went up to cash his ticket, I went to cash my tickets on the $121.50 horse from the day before so he could see me take a few thousand from the window.
Not content to let well enough alone, he said to me, ‘well anyone can win five thousand if they bet ten thousand.’
Again, I wish I were a better person.
I could have nodded, wished him a good day and been on my way.
Rather, I had a receipt for a $30 win bet that returned over $1800. I’ll show you that ticket and the race in the video.
He looked at the ticket, looked at me, and then got very quiet.
I didn’t dare show him the other tickets.
Watch the video, get BLAM’s take on the Wood Memorial and Santa Anita Derby, and see the massive long shots BLAM revealed.
Thanks again for all your encouragement and support. Several of you who are using Black Magic: The Ultimate Handicapper Software wrote to tell me how you got those long priced bombs, and I couldn’t be more pleased.
You can always write me at michael@posttimedaily.com to let me know of your progress or to ask questions. As the Derby approaches, my schedule gets a bit hectic, so please be patient, but I will answer you personally.
