Wise Charlie's words


FINOO Prime Bet for Bangalore, Sunday (July 26):
Way To Fantasy (3-9)
Good luck.
Circle of competence

Although several well-meaning people and followers had warned that it was meaningless to carry on FINOO Experimental bets & Bookies' Delights when FINOO Prime bets were giving such immense edge and profitability, I had nevertheless persisted with the Exp trial as I felt any experiment that was just begun should not be abandoned simply because the results were not as great as FINOO Prime bets.

However, neither any racing logic nor any consistency of strike rate is visible yet. True, barring WIN & PLACE bets category, which is showing substantial loss, the other two are not doing as badly--PLACE in fact is still shoing a decent 12% profit AFTER accounting for the Tote taxes. But all in all, the exercise seems to be heading nowhere, and is needlessly proving a distraction both for the inventor of FINOO and its followers.

Charlie Munger, legendary investor Warren Buffett's partner, once said that every successful person, or a sound theory, or a winning method has its own "circle of competence", and a wise man is one who not only knows its boundaries, but takes care to NEVER step out! I wish I had taken heed to his words.

But enamoured by FINOO's Prime bets' sensational success, I forgot wise Charlie's words of caution.

However, it's never too late to make amends. So, like the old days, let's only monitor FINOO Prime Bets from this day onwards and see, IF in the near future, this great time and labour saving system, which requires, on-an-average, only 3-hours a month of quality concentration time and minimal record keeping, can show us path to riches in this game where till date there is no credible long-term success story of a winning investor.

FINOO bets (Sun, July 19)


Note: BTC has not uploaded the video for the main race, Bangalore St Leger, won by Conceptual. So that race video is NOT on Race TV playlist.
--------------------------------------------

Firstly, let me personally apologize to all the visitors (nearly 600 of them by the reckoning of the Statcounter log) for the incoveniece caused to them yesterday. As the Blog Moderator has already explained, the repairs took so long by the time they were through I had to leave on account of the little bit of social service that I do on Saturday evenings, and could return only after midnight.

Now coming back to today's races here are the FINOO list horses for Sunday's Bangalore races:

PRIME BET:

WIN only:
Mighty Heart (5-1)

=====

FINOO Experimental bets

WIN & PLACE:
Seven Star (6-9)

SHP & PLACE:
None

PLACE only:
Calypso Star (2-11)
Attaturk (7-2)

Bookies' Delights

The following horses may not represent value-for-money at these odds, and hence, make sense to be "laid against".

Fleet Indian (1-2)
Likely odds 50/100

Likely odds 17/10
