Rich,
I post quite a bit and have never been shy about expressing my "humble opinion"
for sure. I'm quite certain I have never expressed an opinion about "how easy the game is to beat" I've posted enough losers to prove DAT!!!
I"m assuming your inference of agreement or disagreement is a tad sarcastic or you're just trying to start a lively debate on a dead winter board?
My opinion of the relevance of Beyer numbers has been expressed here more than a few times over the years. Miff has actually corrected me as to their relevance pertaining to ML and final odds. Hence my reference to my fellow pari mutual punters.
I read all the books in the 70's and early 80's as did all serious players of my generation. I made my own Beyer PARS and numbers well before they were in the DRF and made my own crude figures over the years. I danced with the Raggies in the late 80's and have found IMHO the only true relevant speed figures here over the past 10 years.
The Beyer camp swears it no longer uses PARS in figure making.
In the words of my all time favorite Cuban Ricky Ricardo: Lucy Splain those numbers please.
