Good morning...

Whilst I'm still trying to catch up on the backlog of emails (2 power cuts yesterday didn't help) I am also looking at something that two different people have suggested over the last week or so.

Members of Focus Ratings get access (for free) to a number of services.

They may get the EarlyBird Ratings Platinum selections, the Investment Betting selections, the Advance Ratings system selections, the R9 Portfolio selections and so forth.

I have been asked to see if all these selections could be accumulated and sent out on 1 email.

That would allow us to easily identify those horses that have been selected by multiple services.

Those horses should be a pretty good bet.

I am going to go back over the last 3 months to see if there is a strategy there.

It might be that the selections are staked to the number of points based upon the number of services which have selected those horses or...

And this seems a better idea to me,

The 2 most popular horses (based upon the number if services which have selected them) are used as selections.

Anyway, I will have to do the test spreadsheet manually but I expect to have something to show after the weekend.

Something to make you smile...

Could Have Been Worse...

James is walking on a downtown street one day, and he happens to see his old high school friend, Harry, a little ways up ahead. "Harry, Harry, how are you?" he greets his old buddy after getting his attention.

"Not so good," says Harry.

"Why, what happened?" James queries.

"Well," Harry says, "I just went bankrupt and I've still got to feed my family. I don't know what I'm going to do."

"Could have been worse," James replies calmly. "Could have been worse."

A month or so later, James again encounters Harry, in a restaurant. "And how are things now?" he asks.

"Terrible!" says Harry. "Our house burned down last night."

"Could have been worse," says James, again with total aplomb, and goes about his business.

A month later, James runs into Harry a third time. "Well, how goes it?" he inquires.

"Oh!" says Harry. "Things just get worse and worse. It's one tragedy after another! Now my wife has left me!"

Harry nods his head and gives his usual optimistic-seeming little smile, accompanied by his usual words: "Could've been worse."

This time, Harry grabs James by the shoulders. "Wait a minute!" he says. "I'm not gonna let you off so easy this time. Three times in the past few months we've run into one another, and every time I've told you the latest disaster in my life. Every time you say the same thing: 'Could have been worse.' This time, for God's sake, Harry, I want you to tell me: how in Heaven's name could it have been any worse?"

James looks at Harry with the same little wisp of a smile. "Could have been worse," he says. "Could have happened to me."
