Temporary Oaklawn Park Selections Pause

So, I have been making selections for the races at Oaklawn Park for the past 2.5 months using software that I wrote. However, the amount of manual interaction with the program results to get it on to the blogger platform has become too much. I still owe a results post from last weekend and I hope to get that up soon.

Anyway, until life slows down a whole lot or I get a chance to automate my posting ability in some way, I am going to pause in posting selections every day. I plan on posting a season summary and selection for Arkansas Derby. I hope the pause will give me time to think about how to improve the algorithm to get better results than I have seen this year. Have a good weekend!

Monte Carlo Results from Oaklawn Park for March 1-4, 2018

Without changing the algorithm as I have been contemplating, the OakPick Monte Carlo software correctly chose 7 winners out of 31 races for a tidy profit of $28.60 (on a $2 win bet). In addition, a $1 exacta box play on the three contenders chosen by the program for the 36 races at Oaklawn Park this weekend would have resulted in a $70.00 profit. The full results of the OakPick predictions for the weekend of March 1-4, 2018 are shown below.

While the exacta box strategy is positive for the year, I still have very little confidence in it based on last season's results. For the same reason, I feel confident that the results on the $2 win bet strategy are likely to improve as the season finishes over the next 7 weeks.

The OakPick software was really on the nose with Win Bets on the top pick. The win rate was 22.6%. This weekend raised the overall season prediction rate from 7.9% to 9.7%. As I mentioned last week during the summary, the expectation is that the program should pick between 12 - 15% through the entire season. Thanks for following along. The first picks of the new week of racing will come out on Wednesday night.

************** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *************

That wraps up the first week of February in Hot Springs. I still believe that the OakPick program is due for a good weekend. Statistical fluctuations are easy to discuss until someone says that they got fluctuated out of $100. After almost 500 races the last 2 years, the Monte Carlo program is ~$30 below breakeven. That is likely better than you could do wagering on favorites at Oaklawn. Anyway, I will give it another go starting with Thursday's slate of races.
