"SIMUBET" handicaps and rates every major harness track daily and publishes a SIMUSHEET for each track.
Horses are listed according to their computerized TOP POTENTIAL RATING. Bias and rating factors are compiled into one easy-to-understand figure for your convenience. All ratings apply to a fast track.
The Top Rated Horse in every race is always listed at "100" as an indicator and other horses rated less according to their form. "SIMUBET" will not attempt to rate first time starters and will indicate where no information is available on certain horses(nia).
Simuhelp points and picks out contenders, race by race, at all major harness tracks in the USA and Canada daily! We publish a SIMUSHEET daily for every major Standardbred track in the U.S.A. and Canada. Horses are listed according to their computerised TOP POTENTIAL RATING : bias and rating factors are compiled into one easy-to-understand figure for your convenience. The Top Rated Horse in each race is always listed at "100" as an indicator and other horses according to their form. If several horses appear with the same indicator, it shows that those horses are closely matched. "SIMUHELP" will not attempt to rate first time starters and will indicate where no information is available on certain horses.(nia) Due to early entries there will be driver changes and late scratches, post position numbers could also be affected and should be verified prior to betting.
Here is list of some of the biases that determine our picks:
BR: is a reflection of past performance of past six races with all race variables taken into account. The higher the number, the better the performance.
SPR: are based on finish times adjusted to the top speed rating at particular tracks.
TV:are based on variances arising from track conditions of each race These ratings are available to subscribers.
I would watch our sheet for a few days and get an idea how it would best fit your betting pattern . We do pick winners, but not every race. Overall we run a 40% or higher win percentage. The main thing you will notice, that it will give you a better focus on most races.
The best bets are horses that stand out by more than 4 points over the rest of the field. We advocate to bet to win only. If you do have to bet exactas, a three horse box would be fine or in case of a triactor bet, a four horse box. If there is a horse that stands out over the rest, you can always wheel two or three horses behind our choice.
If you played, for example, Windsor raceway a while ago you could have made money playing the Win Three. There were three outstanding bets spread over seven races. The first good bet was in the 1st Race. If you.singled the Simubet choice and in the next two races took the top four picks, which cost $ 16, you would have collected $755. The next good bet was in the 4th Race and if you repeated the same strategy you would have collected $246. The next good bet was in the 7th Race. Guess what? Do the same as before and you would have been $146 richer. All this just to give you an example . Naturally we would like you to verify all our picks with the daily racing program issued by the tracks.
From time to time we receive questions about various tracks and whether or not, for instance, they have a webpage. Below is an example of just such a question and our response.
The Question: "Dear Sirs, I will be visiting the Metro Detroit area next week and know there is a Hazel Park harness track there. Can you tell me if they have a web page so I can start to familiarize myself with the local favorites/track bias etc?"
Our Answer: "We are not aware if Hazel Park has its own Web-site. It is 5/8 mile track, horses race 9 wide there is a hub rail and no passing lane . As far as biases are concerned, you may print out our simusheet ratings which will be an excellent help to you, if you have access to a computer . Our win percentage at Hazel Park runs at more than 40 % , let us know of your success.
It took us a long time to put this program together. It is based on several databases in which we have stored information on almost all harness horses in North America.
There is an indicator at the top of every Simusheet PDF file of a magnifyng glass. You can increase the size of print and display to your comfort.
Our computers rate horses according to their past performance data, which is updated every time a horse races, Sometimes a snafu occurs, especially when a horse's name closely matches that of an other one in our database (nothing is perfect). Sometimes we have no data on some of the starters at all . When this happens, we have to wait until they have raced for at least one race before knowing how they will perform in future races.
Be sure the track you are looking for has scheduled races for today. The only time there could be difficulties in posting the Simubet selections is between 11 pm and 12 EST. when we load our new information . Sometimes there are server problems, which are not our doing , and we apologize for any inconvenience. We suggest, in the event of not being able to access the selections you want, to try again a little later. If you do discover that we are missing a Simusheet for a track that is indeed racing , please let us know as soon as possible so that we may rectify the problem.
We use the X as an indicator to draw attention to the horse, as it rates 5 or more points better in the race and could be a good bet.
We are limited to the amount of files we can upload every day. The majority of people visiting the site, view the regular PDF sheets for the following day. So we made the decision to post the Simusheets in HTML format one day in advance to help our patrons.
We do advocate on our homepage that readers use picks in conjunction with the daily racing program and verify post positions, driver changes and scratches.
Is it your opinion that handicapping harness races is more profitable than handicapping the thoroughbreds? Do you handicap thoroughbred races?
We are working to add a handicap sheet for thoroughbreds in near future. We have had many successful days on either tracks . In my opinion it depends on the bettor as to which one he either finds easier to handicap or to devote the time to.
We cannot regulate what or who you bet on, however, we suggest on our website that we want to help point out contenders and that bettors should use our information in conjunction with the daily racing program. Our overall win percentage is based on handicapping thousands of races. We will be posting post individual track percentages in the near future that might assist you.
The Morning line odds are posted by race tracks and most tracks have their own website where this information is available. In my own experience, I find that being very selective and only placing one or two bets a day makes a difference, determining those bets is still up to you.
We cannot provide you with a program. The software programs we work with are connected to databases that have to be updated constantly. There are some companies that sell handicapping programs where you can do a lot of the work yourself. You can try the OJC site, that's the Ontario Jockey Club, on their handicapping page.
