HAPPY NEW YEAR!


3 FREE Unlimited Days of PDF Ultimate PPs in January!

Only one handicapping product is loaded with detailed trainer stats, pedigree ratings, Prime Power, Track Bias & Race Summary, optional comments and everything a handicapper needs for an edge at the races. The Ultimate Past Performances, Brisnet's signature product, can be tried with unlimited usage for three full days in January!

Players looking for an edge are using the Ultimate Past Performances from Brisnet. Armed with this tool, the answers to your many questions are right there at your fingertips.

Who has the best early speed? How's the track been playing? Is this trainer successful under these circumstances? Has this jockey won for this trainer? Does any horse have a Prime Power advantage? Does the pedigree indicate the runner may love this distance or surface?

Those are just a few of the many questions answered by the Ultimate PPs.

[Note: The special applies to all three PDF versions of the Ultimate PPs.]

TESTIMONIALS
"The main use that I had [from the Ultimate PP's with Summary] was the track bias and post position bias info. That was very valuable to me. In fact, that was the basis of a lot of my picks. I tried to pick horses that were going to be compatible with the bias of a track, not only recently but over the course of the meet."
-- Steve Walker, NTRA Handicapper of the Year and Qualifier for three consecutive years to the DRF/NTRA National Handicapping Championship

"I used the Ultimate PPs to aid me in having the only ticket in the Pick-6. You may use my name in any promotion..."
-- Ronald Ruchtie nailed a $197,914 Pick-6 at Bay Meadows!

"I take an all encompassing look to handicapping when using the Ultimates."
-- Ed Gasperi, $10,000 grand prize winner in the Brisnet Online Challenge

Account Wagering History - Do you know yours?


By: Richard Nilsen

Do you know your return on investment (ROI)? How about your win percentage? As horseplayers looking to make a profit, we need to know the answers to those types of critical questions.

Record keeping is a vital component in understanding your wagering tendencies. By logging your wagers daily in a ledger or spreadsheet on your PC, you will have at your fingertips a history of your activity.

There are advantages to recording your wagering activity daily. Your account history will help you uncover the weaknesses in your wagering. You may love to play the Superfecta, but this enticing wager may be draining the profits earned from other wagers. The results will be right there in black and white, whether you like what you see or not!

If you are betting on multiple tracks during the year, your record keeping will provide you with the details on each track. More likely than not, you will find that you have a better handle on certain tracks. Record keeping also encourages spot plays, arguably the best way to turn a profit.

Documenting your wagering can be a tremendous tax aid. It will serve as the basis for writing off any losses if you have any "big scores" to report to Uncle Sam.

One of the main reasons that few players take the necessary time to log their wagers is the amount of time it takes. For those wagering from home, there is now a solution.

TwinSpires.com recently added "Recall Account History" as a free service to members. With a click of the mouse, one can quickly see not only all the wagers made since a certain date, but also a wagering result summary.

When TwinSpires.com added this feature in late November, I was able to go back and look at my entire account history since the account was opened in early July. Immediately, I saw not only the amount wagered and number of bets placed but also my win % and ROI! Queries can be done based on the racetrack(s), date, type of wager, and any combination of those three.

Use TwinSpires.com this New Year and have a complete annual history at year's end.

Are You Using Power Search?

Did you take advantage of the December special of 3 free days of Prime Power Search? If not, then you missed out on a tool that allows you to pinpoint high % plays from around the country. Using our most predictive rating, Prime Power, the Power Search reports provide the horses running that day which have a statistical advantage that you define, e.g. 5 points or greater.

David Guberman of New York recently used Prime Power in the Aqueduct SHOWdown, a five-week, survivor-type contest held by the NYRA.

"Out of the 4,186 entrants that entered, only five were remaining for the last day, and I was one of them! Though it was a winner-take-all prize, I did finish second out of 4,186! I give most of my attribution to the use of the Prime Power Ratings, which really helped me depict among the contenders and pretenders for each race. These ratings also assisted me in judging which fields were very contentious [from the ones that weren't]. Thanks again for a reliable, consistent service..." - David Guberman.
