With the new Jerry J’s Power Page – PLUS, I have had to create abbreviations to properly talk to everyone…here is the new “jargon”…
$$$ = money
CL = Contenders List
CLs the contenders in the Contenders List
DD = Daily Double
FP = Featured Play — lots of good handicapping stuff to talk about – price might be lacking…
pk = POK = Pop Out Key — some interesting handicapping, the POK should have a good price…
TR = Top Rated
(1-pk x ???) this means I am singling my Pop Out Key in a Horizontal Play
(1 x ???) this means I am singling my TR (top rated horse) in a Horizontal Play ( in this case, I made a typo and failed to include TR, the next example is the more correct version)
(1-TR x ???) this means I am singling my TR (top rated horse) in a Horizontal Play
(1-FP x ???) this means I am singling my FP (Featured Play) in a Horizontal Play
( 2 x 3) this simply means I am making a DD using the Top 2 rated horses in the CL of Leg #1 with the Top 3 horses in the CL of Leg #2
SPREAD – this simply means it’s a complicated race in some way, maybe very competitive and we are splitting “handicapping hairs” and I just don’t have a handle on the right value proposition… Plain and simple — it’s a tough race. Interestingly, the rest of the handicapping world might be in the same predicament, so SREADs are really helpful in finding “random value bonanzas”. However, I often find myself finding a Pop Out Key, once I have seen the how the track is playing and the way the betting is going.
