Default BrisNET = useless

I just want to take the time to say that BrisNET is useless

you're better off turning the summary sheet upside down

I've been using brisnet past performances for years. Discounting first time starters and some turf races they were pretty useful. Seems like the pace numbers are useless. When they are so far off so often you are at odds trying to guess when to use them and when not to.

Bris is supposed to help you figure out the pace. They give early pace number mid/late pace numbers. I assume they take into account track variant time etc... You figure there will be a contested pace or lone speed based on their info. They open up the gate and no one goes with or everyone goes with exact opposite of the scenerio you imagine per Bris.
They also provide other things like best running styles that win early/pressing or sustained closers.

Maybe it's just saturdays they sook? I only play on Saturday and now I doubt I play next saturday because this last one hurt and I blame them for part of it.

The Magna pick 5 I got

1st <--- bris told me the ML fav was suspect their first choice was too. I knew it and took 2nd choice and won
2nd <--- could have had the winner but Bris had the place horse #6 so far ahead. I chose to single. Doh. my bad
off the board <--- bris was high on the place horse and 2nd gets you Zero
1st <--- bris helped confirm I and just about everyone else right on that one

and I don't remember the last leg right now

The point is. Why pay them to condense the races into prime power and pace numbers then try and guess when to use them? I could be right just as often as they are for nothing.

Most of my big payoffs had nothing to do with Bris (especially lately). I'm going to quit using them and see how it goes.

Nuttyone,

I use Brisbet and like it. Can't hardly read a form anymore cause it's missing so much info. Like any form you have to take all in stride and use your capping skills.

Not saying I'm great...or even good, but after 35 years I know when I find a nugget and often it is based on pace figures they provide.

They are bad on rating horses changing distances.

Anyway, as the saying goes, the buck stops here and you really can't blame the brisbet or the form. In fact, I think the winners of the national handicaping contest used brisbet 8 out of the last 10 years.

Good luck,

Spyder from SC

Bris is not to blame for a poor day's result. Nor would the DRF be, as Spyder stated. That's a grave mistake.

If, you are relying on condensed pps, or a race summary, you have only yourself to blame, as neither are a replacement for your own handicapping of each race. Both tools are used only as an enhancement, not a replacement.

Short cuts don't pave the road to return on wagers.

You'll do better next week, hopefully.

I use Ultimate PPs. The way I do it is.
I print off the summary and then look through the PPs and make notes.

Lately their summaries have been useless

I have been doing better without. I hate when I let their Prime Power rating convince me to single a horse. Yesterday I quit looking at the damn things and got some of my money back.

Next week I may do better by not going
