GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition 1994 - Copyright (c) 1994 by Mark E. Savey
WELCOME to GAMBLER'S MATE software
GAMBLER'S MATE software is endorsed by Mike Caro, the "Mad Genius" of Gambling!
I have released the successful GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition who's five year
record is winning versus the spread (ATS) at 59.3%, and is UP +85.8 units.
o GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition - THREE programs in one! 1994 will be
it's sixth year. GM is designed to assist the football handicapper in
analyzing: 1) trends; 2) power ratings; and 3) numeric algorithms
associated with each team and matchup. You will get THREE ASCII output
files each week (one for each system) that will profile the matchups
(PREDICT option). You will also get a WRAPUP file (after UPDATE option)
that recaps the week and shows system results and updated system records.
o I have included THREE separate programs in an attempt to "beat the odds".
It is said that only 1 of 3 systems will beat the spread in one given
year. BUT, GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition has defied those numbers!!!
System 1 (Trends program) identifies teams in profitable situations (positive
and/or negative). There are currently 45 trends that could appear.
Since 1989, System 2 and System 3 records are as follows (NO ties are listed):
System 2:
1993: 47-41 53.4% up +1.9 units Best Bets: 30-24 Top Pick: 8-9
1992: 54-44 55.1% up +5.6 units Best Bets: 27-22 Top Pick: 13-6
1991: 59-42 58.4% up +12.8 units Best Bets: 34-18 Top Pick: 12-5
1990: 60-43 58.3% up +12.7 units Best Bets: 29-24 Top Pick: 11-9
1989: 55-43 56.1% up +7.7 units Best Bets: 30-19 Top Pick: 12-4
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL: 275-213 56.4% up +40.7 units BBs: 58.4% 150-107 TP: 63.3% 57-33
System 3:
1993: 29-23 55.8% up +3.7 units Best Bets: 25-21 Top Pick: 9-11
1992: 39-21 65.0% up +15.9 units Best Bets: 33-15 Top Pick: 14-5
1991: 27-09 75.0% up +17.1 units Best Bets: 21-09 Top Pick: 13-3
1990: 18-15 54.5% up +1.5 units Best Bets: 16-13 Top Pick: 9-5
1989: 18-15 54.5% up +1.5 units Best Bets: 18-14 Top Pick: 8-7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL: 131-83 61.2% up +39.7 units BBs: 58.9% 103-72 TP: 63.1% 53-31
GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition is UP +85.8 units ATS 352-242 (excluding
opposite plays), that's $8,580 PROFIT at $100 per game! Register GM94 NOW!
** Many systems do NOT display their system records to you, as it could show
you a losing season, BUT GAMBLER'S MATE believes that this statistic is
critical to winning! You must be aware of how each system is performing,
in order to make the appropriate adjustments. You must be serious at
WINNING when sports handicapping, so REGISTER GAMBLER'S MATE now!
** All GAMBLER'S MATE software is SHAREWARE, which NEEDS YOUR REGISTRATION
SUPPORT (to continue these winning systems)...please do the right thing
and consider registering shareware products.

** SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition 1994 has been tested and will run on
most systems. It requires one each of the following:
1) 100% IBM compatible machines utilizing the 8086/8088/80286/80386/80486
and even the Pentium processor chip;
2) must have a minimum of 256k RAM;
3) Monochrome/Hercules/CGA/EGA or VGA monitor;
4) minimum of one single high density floppy diskette drive, but it is
recommended that you have a hard disk. *** Note: You must have your
DOS's MORE command in your path to use the "View/Print" options or else
you cannot use the "View/Print" options;
5) systems without a high density diskette or hard disk *WILL* have to
remove the GM94MAN.DOC (the manual) and some of the older weekly
prediction files to save space. They are in the format of WEEKnn??.94
and WRAPUPnn.94, where nn is the week number, and ?? is the system
(TR, S2 or S3). Again, this may cause an error when using the
"View/Print" option, as the files that would be displayed may no longer
be on the single floppy.
** STARTUP
Let's get started! All you need to do is type INSTALL, followed by a valid
'drive' letter (ie: INSTALL C:). The INSTALL.BAT will completely install
the Football Edition 1994 in a directory called \GM\GM94. If you do NOT
have a hard disk, you will be using a floppy diskette with your
unregistered copy of GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition 1994 or else you
will be using your registered, labeled and fully licensed GAMBLER'S MATE
diskette. In that case, type 'drive:INSTALL drive:' (ie: A:INSTALL C:).
After installation, to begin, type GM94 at the DOS prompt. You should NOT
try to install GM94 on the original installation diskette!
Your registered copy of GAMBLER'S MATE has YOUR name and serial number on
the opening screen. The unregistered opening screen looks as follows:

----------
** PREDICT option - Main Menu Choice One:
As you start, you will see that this choice is blinking. The system is
ready to go and ready to start it's predict mode. ** NOTE ** BEFORE you
choose this option and complete it, you need to have the pointspreads or
lines that will be used for the specified week! You should not complete
this option without the proper pointspreads (unless you are only looking
for the winner). Some pools require a pointspread choice, but others only
require the winner. You can run the PREDICT option AS MANY TIMES AS YOU
NEED for each week in the PREDICT mode, UNLESS you use the ESCape key to
abort when prompted. You can enter "FAKE" lines, and then re-do them, BUT
you *WILL* have to enter ALL lines again for EACH predict mode, for
integrity's sake! The playoff module allows the user to bypass this
re-entering of all lines, should you decide to run a playoff week (19-22)
through the PREDICT option a second time. You will always have the option
to change any line BEFORE you run that week's PREDICT.
Note: You can also use the WHAT IF? (Option 5) to experiment with LINES!!!

GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition 1994 - Copyright (c) 1994 by Mark E. Savey
You will see the following menus within the PREDICT option:

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
1= Predict ALL games for week # 1
2= RECONFIGURE any System (Change configuration to be: RUN or NOT RUN)
o This should ONLY be done when there is a critical error in one of
the systems that prevents a user from running the PREDICT option!
0= Exit to main menu
----------
A NEW option (option 2, to RECONFIGURE) was added as a way for the user to
continue running GM94 in a week that a problem prevents the successful
running of any of the systems. It is recommended to ONLY do this if there
is a true problem, that requires a fix file. In conjunction, the
installation will create TWO BACKUP directories (PREDICT and UPDATE) that
will allow restoration of the last week's data files. If you proceed with
the RECONFIGURE option, you will then see the systems' "CURRENT setup".
All systems are set to ON.
----------
RECONFIGURE any system for Week 1
1= Proceed with reconfigure option
o CURRENT setup:
- System 1 will BE RUN (TRENDS)
- System 2 will BE RUN
- System 3 will BE RUN
0= Exit to last menu
----------
If you decide to change any system, the user would enter the system number
to toggle its "setup status (on/off)".
----------
RECONFIGURE any system for Week 1
o CURRENT setup:
- System 1 will BE RUN (TRENDS)
- System 2 will BE RUN
- System 3 will BE RUN
Change WHICH system NUMBER? Enter '0' if OK:
----------
The user would enter "0" if OK and then "Y" if it is correct. Answering
"N" will take you back to the main RECONFIGURE menu. Another "0" returns
the user to the MAIN menu.
----------

GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition 1994 - Copyright (c) 1994 by Mark E. Savey
You will now see the components making up the PREDICT option:
----------
Predict ALL games for week # 1
1= Proceed with PREDICT option
o ALL SYSTEMS will be run automatically
- Phase One will allow verification of all matchups
- Phase Two will allow POINTSPREADS to be entered/verified
- Phase Three will generate all outputs and status files
that will be used during the UPDATE option
o Three separate outputs will be generated
o View/print options available after outputs
0= Exit to last menu
----------
After choosing to Proceed, the system displays the weekly schedule, and you
have the ability at this time to "change" any games that may have been
changed, or any keystroke errors missed by me (see next page)!
----------
FOR 1994
TEAM Matchup FOR WEEK 1 TEAM Matchup
ATLANTA 1 TAMPA BAY 8
DETROIT 1 CHICAGO 8

** MONDAY NIGHT **
SEATTLE 7 L.A. RAIDERS 14
WASHINGTON 7 SAN FRANCISCO 14
Are all matchups CORRECT (Y/n) ?
----------
You are asked if the above schedule is correct and then asked again to
verify your choice. If you answer that the above is NOT correct and "Y"es,
you're sure it's correct, the system prompts you for the incorrect matchup.
----------
Enter incorrect matchup # (1-14) then CARRIAGE RETURN, OR Abort = 0
----------
- page 07 -
GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition 1994 - Copyright (c) 1994 by Mark E. Savey
For EXAMPLE ONLY! If you had chosen matchup number 12, New York Jets at
Buffalo, as incorrect, you would see the following:
----------
Phase One: Verification of all matchups
You have determined that N.Y. JETS is NOT CORRECT.
BUFFALO
Two main possibilities exist for this matchup error:
1) The HOME SITE of matchup was switched with another week's game, possibly
due to baseball playoffs; OR
2) A KEYSTROKE INPUT ERROR while entering the 1994 schedule was missed in
beta testing.
By choosing 1) the system will verify that another matchup exists for the two
teams and automatically swap the entries in the 1994 schedule file.
By choosing 2) the system will only correct the matchup in question.
You MUST enter the CORRECT team numbers (see page in the GM94MAN.DOC).
By choosing 0) the system will take you back to the matchup listings.
----------
If you choose suboption one, you will see the following:
----------
Future Matchup:
BUFFALO
N.Y. JETS was found in week 10, as matchup # 10
Begin process to SWAP ABOVE MATCHUP for week # 1 and 10 (Y/N)? <--
Note: If SWAP ABOVE MATCHUP is answered Yes, the teams ARE swapped immediately.
An ABORT feature is not active here! PLEASE VERIFY CHANGES BEFORE SWAP.
----------
All you have to do is answer Yes, IF CORRECT, and the schedule will be
corrected...one keystroke service! If you chose suboption 2, instead of 1,
you would have been prompted for the proposed AWAY Team and then HOME team.
You will use the Table of Team Roster Numbers on page xx, and the system
would have corrected ONLY THAT GAME, within this week.
After any corrections, or answering Yes that all matchups are correct and
Yes - you are sure, you are asked whether you wish to proceed to the next
phase. You will see the following:
----------
Phase Two: Pointspread entry facility
Enter pointspreads for ALL Games for week # 1
1= Continue with process
0= Abort process - Return to PREDICT MENU
* CHOOSE MENU OPTION *
----------
- page 08 -
GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition 1994 - Copyright (c) 1994 by Mark E. Savey
----------
Assuming you wish to continue you will be asked to enter ALL pointspreads,
according to the HOME TEAM.
----------
Phase Two: Pointspread entry facility
Enter pointspreads for ALL Games for week # 1
UPDATING WEEK 1 , GAME NUMBER 1 FOR 1994
Enter pointspread as it pertains to DETROIT (HOME TEAM)
(If EVEN use 0)
ATLANTA
DETROIT ?
Enter 999 to ABORT
----------
You are asked, "ARE YOU SURE", only ONE time per matchup. If you make an
error entering the pointspread, and do NOT answer No, you must follow the
next prompt TO ABORT! If you do not, the system will use that erroneous
pointspread for THAT prediction run. FOLLOW ALL PROMPTS VERY CAREFULLY!!!
Below, Phase Three will generate all outputs. This is your last chance to
ABORT and reinput all correct data.
----------
Phase Three: Generate ALL Outputs
Predict ALL Games for week # 1
1= Continue with process
0= Abort process - Return to PREDICT MENU
----------
At the conclusion of the PREDICT option, you will automatically invoke the
GAMBLER'S MATE PRINT/View Utility. You will see the following menu:

2= PRINT all outputs for week # 1
0= Exit to MAIN MENU
----------
- page 09 -
GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition 1994 - Copyright (c) 1994 by Mark E. Savey
You will be given a chance to change the week to be viewed/printed. You
will only be able to view/print the THREE OUTPUTS generated from the
PREDICT option for week one. Until you reach the UPDATE option, you will
not have the WRAPUP file available for the computer scheduled week. As you
progress further into the season, you will be able to see ALL prior files
generated, unless you removed them due to file space limitations. All
outputs utilize the DOS MORE command, so all outputs are "paused", when
being viewed.
You will see the following screen to begin, if your choice is viewing:
----------
VIEW outputs for week # 1
1= Proceed with VIEW option
o The following files SHOULD be available, based on the STATUS file:
- THREE weekly PREDICT files. Format is WEEKnnS2.94 (where nn is the
week). Since S2 is for SYSTEM 2, there should also be an S3 and TR.
Your choices SHOULD start with WEEK 1 .
Note: When choosing an ALL FILES option on the next screen, the processing
order is done by SYSTEM (ie: TRENDS, SYSTEM 2, then SYSTEM 3).
0= Exit to VIEW menu
----------
THE SAVER PLAY
THE SAVER PLAY was a new add-on to GM93. The SAVER PLAY is a pick that may
occur when applying certain criteria to the SYSTEM 2 and SYSTEM 3 outputs!
THE SAVER PLAY was noticed by statman extraordinaire, Alex Jozsa. Its
record, from 1989-1993 is a VERY HEALTHY 73-38 for a 65.8 %! It does not
appear each week, but when it does, and the SAVER PLAY is SYSTEM 3's 1st
pick, you can consider it a strong play. The SAVER PLAY will ALWAYS be a
SYSTEM 3 ROAD team.
Each week's SAVER PLAY "status" will appear at the end of the SYSTEM 3
weekly output file. You will be told either way if any plays have
appeared. Also, the SAVER PLAY "status" is listed on the TRENDS and SYSTEM
2 weekly output files. SYSTEM 2 and SYSTEM 3 must BOTH be left ON in order
for the play to be calculated. ANY changes in the pointspread can also
affect its appear or disappearance. It is recommended to get the latest
pointspreads for each games.
----------
When you exit, you will return to the main menu. You should now notice
that the UPDATE is now blinking, as it is the next logical choice. You
MUST ONLY access the UPDATE option AFTER all scores are final and ready to
be input into the system!
----------
** UPDATE option - Main Menu Choice Two
As you return to the main menu, you will see that this choice is blinking.
The system is ready to go and ready for ALL FINAL scores to be entered.
- page 10 -
GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition 1994 - Copyright (c) 1994 by Mark E. Savey
** IMPORTANT NOTE **
BEFORE you choose this option and complete it, you need to have ALL FINAL
SCORES and pointspreads or lines AVAILABLE, as they MUST ALL BE INPUT AT
THIS TIME! DO *NOT* attempt to complete this option without the proper
items! The system only allows ONE completed access for each week, UNLESS
you use the ESCape key to abort when prompted. This is the only way to
keep file integrity intact. You should *NOT* enter "FAKE" scores, or the
system will use them for the REST OF THE YEAR! If this does occur, you
must copy back the data files in the BACKUP directory. If you did NOT use
the INSTALL.BAT to install GM94, then you may not have created the TWO
BACKUP directories (PREDICT and UPDATE) and may have to reinstall and
reinput to catch up, OR contact me and follow the instructions (pg 03 of
this manual) to obtain updated disk.
After choosing "2" from the main menu, you will see the following submenu:

addressed first). You will enter ALL FINAL SCORES as it relates to the
ROAD team. The system will AUTOGEN for the HOME team. You WILL have a
chance to reenter should you make an input error, by either entering "-1"
to ABORT, or after completing all FINAL SCORE ENTRY. EXAMPLE ONLY- BELOW!
----------
Phase One: Entry of all FINAL SCORES for week 1
FOR WEEK 1 IN 1994
TEAM PF PA Matchup TEAM PF PA Matchup
ATLANTA 17 31 1 TAMPA BAY 7 21 8
DETROIT 31 17 1 CHICAGO 21 7 8
...etc.
----------
You can change any matchup's score, if necessary. When done, and you have
answered Yes & Yes, you will then get a screen that allows you to enter any
pointspreads or lines that may have changed significantly. Normally, I do
NOT adjust the lines, as I made my picks OFFICIAL, at the time the system
generated the picks. The only time I do change, is when I see that a line
change will make a nonplay a play, or make a play a nonplay. For me, the
change is OFFICIAL at that time, BEFORE the game is played! I note this on
my output sheet and make the change of line at this time. EXAMPLE ONLY!
----------
FOR WEEK 1 IN 1994
TEAM LINE Matchup TEAM LINE Matchup
ATLANTA 1 TAMPA BAY 8
DETROIT -4.0 1 CHICAGO -6.0 8
...etc.
----------
After you accept all lines as correct, system will EITHER: 1) regenerate
all outputs using the new line(s), if ANY were changed, and then AUTO-
UPDATE; or 2) go directly into AUTO-UPDATE (when no lines were adjusted).
At that time, you will receive the LAST chance to ABORT. If REGENERATING
takes place, you will want to consecutively print ALL four outputs, as
they may possibly have new plays and values.
----------
Phase Four: Auto-Update ALL files
Update ALL Games for week # 1
ALL systems will be updated automatically. This may take several minutes,
based on the speed of your PC. During this process, the system gives a brief
status on its progress, but it will only appear on your screen for several
seconds. So, please be patient. Your drive light should be active, as all
outputs and files are being read/updated at this time.
Good luck next week!
Hit any key to continue the UPDATE process, OR ESC to ABORT.

You should then see the following message stating that your update was
successful (see below). PLEASE view or print all output files to verify
that all went well without problems. Only a BEEP sound will signify that
the system has completed the UPDATE process.

** WHAT IF?: Team vs. Team - Main Menu Choice Five
This supplementary program allows the users to match ANY TEAM during any
week, maximum week = next game of the schedule, OR the playoffs. You can
use this option to experiment or enter "fake" lines.
Also, WHAT IF? can be used during the PLAYOFFS. Use the generic WEEK 19
for ALL PLAYOFF GAMES, even though the playoff upgrade is fully functional,
since the 1994 edition. WHAT IF?: Team vs. Team can handle it! You will
enter the pointspread, and also answer a "NEUTRAL FIELD" question ((ONLY
for PLAYOFFS). The system asks for a ROAD team, HOME team, WEEK and LINE.
After entering a "1" to continue processing you will see the following:
----------
The idea behind What IF?: TEAM vs. TEAM is to match ANY TWO TEAMS TOGETHER
IN ANY WEEK (from current week and prior), even though they may never meet in
the regular season...BUT What IF? they did, for Systems 2 and 3!
Also, don't forget the playoffs!!! You can use WEEK 18, as a generic week,
for ALL PLAYOFF games. A playoff compatible upgrade has been installed in the
GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition 1994 , and YES, it's fully functional!!!
The TWO methods listed above differ in the means by which they approach the
playoffs. The main Predict option uses all PLAYOFF and regular season data,
What IF?: TEAM vs. TEAM uses ONLY the regular season data, that allowed the
team to reach the playoffs. Both have their merits. BOTH are avaliable to
GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition 1994 users. NOTHING has been disabled for
shareware registration purposes. HONOR THE GAMBLER'S CODE...Register today!
-> Hit the SPACEBAR to check out What IF?: Team vs. Team
-> Or to ABORT, hit ESC.
** NOTE: The system will not allow a What IF? further in the future than the
NEXT SCHEDULED WEEK. The ONLY EXCEPTION is ALL PLAYOFFS (WEEK 18).
In that case, you MUST have already run WEEK 18.
----------
In the example on the next page, I entered a week one game, and projected
the Detroit Lions as four point favorite versus the Atlanta Falcons. The
WHAT IF?: Team vs Team displayed BOTH System 2's and System 3's prediction:
----------
What IF?: in WEEK # 1
ATLANTA at DETROIT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NFL SYSTEM 2 outcome is:
TEAM SCORES CMPTR LINE VALUE/PLAY INDICATOR
ATLANTA 18.0
DETROIT 25.5 -7.5 -4.0 3.5 Play if LINE goes to -3.5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NFL SYSTEM 3 outcome is:
TEAM PWR RTG CMPTR LINE VALUE/PLAY INDICATOR
ATLANTA -42
DETROIT 22 -6.0 -4.0 2.0 Play if LINE goes to -1.5

----------
the What IF? screen con't.
----------
Do you want MORE of What IF?: Team vs. Team (Y or N)?
----------
ANY SAVER PLAYS would also be listed in the WHATIF? option. It *is* very
possible that SAVER PLAYs exist according to your odds, even though System
2 and System 3 do not have a pointspread opinion! BUT YOU CAN EXPERIMENT
HERE! You are then prompted if you want another matchup. A unique and
powerful program. Remember to use the generic WEEK 18 for all of the
PLAYOFF games, using this What IF?: option.
----------
** WIN/LOSS Record - Main Menu Choice Six
This supplemental program tracks all PLAYS for all systems AUTOMATICALLY.
The opening menu allows a system choice. If you choose 1 for TRENDS, all
trends will appear (paused when a screen is full). If you choose 2, you
will receive the following menu...READ 'THE NOTE' CAREFULLY! Since BOTH
System 2 & 3 are tracked similarly, they are grouped together on a screen.
----------
Update OR Check RECORD : NFL SYSTEM 2 and 3
ENTER: U to Update (NOT RECOMMENDED), OR
C TO Check, OR
ESC TO ABORT
Note: You should NOT need to use this UPDATE option, as the weekly UPDATE
function will AUTOMATICALLY keep track of system records. If using this
menu UPDATE option, be careful! There are NO SAFEGUARDS built in. ALL
changed data becomes PERMANENT! This menu UPDATE is NOT RECOMMENDED!!
----------
You SHOULD ONLY use the Check option here! Both are functional, but the
Update can *destroy* data. BE CAREFUL!
After choosing Check (of course!!!), you can choose 89 through 94 (the
default) as the YEAR DIGITS. I chose the year 1994, by just hitting the
Enter Key. You then can choose the week number, 1 to 16 for 89; and 1 to
17 for 90, 91, 92 and 94; and 1 to 18 for 93. I chose week 18. The
following was displayed (see next page).

o GAMBLER'S MATE: Thoroughbred Edition Dosage Master v2 ($20)
Information on GAMBLER'S MATE: Thoroughbred Edition - DOSAGE MASTER v2
software package. You are about to experience the most powerful and least
expensive ($20) thoroughbred pedigree handicapper on the market! The
DOSAGE MASTER v2 uses the "dosage system". Look for GM-THORO.ZIP (or
GMTHOR.ZIP on CompuServe. Do "GO FANS" to Lib #8 "Sport of Kings").
...continued on next page...
- page 21 -
GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition 1994 - Copyright (c) 1994 by Mark E. Savey
...continued from previous page...
Dosage is a system that attempts to predict the distance potential of
horses based on certain important sires in the first four generations of
their pedigrees. These important sires are called Chefs-De-Race, which is
french for "chiefs of the breed". These chefs are divided into five
aptitudinal categories: Brilliant, Intermediate, Classic, Solid and
Professional. The categories correspond to a distance potentials range
from Brilliant (highest speed, lowest stamina and early maturation) to
Professional (lowest speed, highest stamina and late maturation). Classic
represents the "ideal" balance of speed, stamina and maturation. Many
chefs are assigned to two categories. They are assigned them because of
the success of their progenies in the specified categories. Their "POINTS"
are split evenly between those two categories.
I've found that my program, DOSAGE MASTER v2, even in its rawest form, has
had a distinct advantage in the three year old triple crown races and its
preps. If you've not heard, all Kentucky Derby winners from 1939 to 1990,
1992 to 1994, have "fit the mold" of this method of handicapping! It
missed in 1991. Horses with the allowable range of acceptable numbers
(Dosage Index of 4.00 or less & Center of Distribution of 1.25 or less) fit
this mold. Quite an impressive streak, wouldn't you say?! The system had
Unbridled (1990 Kentucky Derby winner) who paid $21.60 for a single $2
wager and even Sea Hero (1994 Kentucky Derby winner) who paid $22.80! In
that same time, it has only lost 3 Belmonts (2 were on muddy tracks). Do
you know ANY OTHER system that's 65-1 in the Kentucky Derby AND is 63-3 in
the Belmont, since 1939? Case closed!
The DOSAGE MASTER v2 features the ability to calculate, display and print
the dosage profile, dosage index and center of distribution for you. By
using the 2 year old Experimental Free Handicap (published each February by
the Jockey Club), you have a very powerful twosome. If any thoroughbred
qualifies under ALL the dosage rules and is within ten pounds of the 2 year
old champ, THAT horse needs to be looked at very seriously in the classic 3
year old races and preps. You can obtain the needed information and sire
lines from sources like the Blood-Horse Mag or Daily Racing Form. They
routinely display all the necessary info.
I have also added a facility that allows the adding of NEW Chef-de-Race
sires as they are added by the Bloodlines staff in the Daily Racing Form.
This allows you PERPETUAL use of DOSAGE MASTER v2. One small fee and the
power of the DOSAGE MASTER v2 is yours FOREVER!
Overall, I have done quite well with the Triple Crown races and preps and
SO CAN YOU! DO RIGHT by the Gambler's Code of Ethics! Register your
DOSAGE MASTER v2 AFTER winning your FIRST race. To register, fill out and
sign REGISTER.DOC then send your money order or check for $20 to:

GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition 1994 - Copyright (c) 1994 by Mark E. Savey
o GAMBLER'S MATE: Super Bowl Edition ($15 NON-charter/$10 CHARTER [$10 AFTER])
For all of you that are looking for a system that answers the "WHO will WIN
the Super Bowl (straight-up)?" question, GAMBLER'S MATE software has the
answer! The system is 25-3 (89.3%) YES! it is a fact. Various team stats
are analyzed by the computer and system points are assigned. When all
system points are totaled, the winner is the team with the most points.
When one team amasses 35 or more system points than its opponent, a BEST
BET situation occurs. This BEST BET scenario is a remarkable 15-0 (100%)
in ALL the prior Super Bowls!
Even though the GAMBLER'S MATE: Super Bowl Edition does NOT use a line or
pointspread, it has chosen the underdog to win the Super Bowl 6 times. You
guessed it...ALL 6 underdogs have won. It is 6-0 (100%) when choosing the
pointspread underdog to WIN the Super Bowl OUTRIGHT!
CHARTER MEMBERSHIPS can be purchased separately for a nominal $10 ONE-TIME
additional cost! This will allow you to maintain licensing renewal rights
should GAMBLER'S MATE software go commercial in the future (and not
remain shareware) and also GIVES YOU a 33 1/3% LIFETIME discount on all
future Super Bowl Editions. So, for $20, you buy a CHARTER MEMBERSHIP
($10) plus the latest Super Bowl Edition package (for $10 when using your
33 1/3 LIFETIME discount)! The NON-charter member fee for next's year
Super Bowl will be $15.

GAMBLER'S MATE: Baseball Edition (Tentatively set at $25)
I am working a program that uses the baseball stats available from the USA
Today sports section (only three categories required). It's history has
shown a potential for identifying plays (overlays).
GAMBLER'S MATE: WLAF Edition (Tentatively set at $20)
I had been working on the World League of American Football for next
season, but have ceased at this time. This new league has caught on like
fire overseas, but has yet to catch on in the US. I may instead begin a
CANADIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE HANDICAPPER, if folks tell me that they are
interested in it. There seems to be some potential for picking winners
with the same algorithms in the Football Edition's Systems 2 and 3.

** TIPS/ANALYSIS
The GAMBLER'S MATE: Football Edition 1994 is designed to account for the
law of averages. I include THREE separate systems, in the hope that ONLY
ONE WILL WIN and defy the odds. I have been very happy to see that BOTH
systems have won SIX YEARS in a row. Theory states that only one system
should win...another reason why I also include a trends program. Forty-
five trends allow for many plays during a season.
IMPORTANT: Not all trends (OR SYSTEMS) will remain profitable for all
seasons. You must pay careful attention to which trends (OR SYSTEMS) are
hot and which are cold (go the opposite way)! Remember that the theory of
large numbers states that all results are short term events and that they
will all average out in the long run analysis. But if a trend is hot go
WITH it. If it is cold, then consider playing AGAINST its suggested team.
Some trends may never appear during the season due to their conditions not
being present. You can expect many trends to continue their winning ways,
for example TREND 26 was 17-8 (68%) in 1989, TREND 13 was 9-1 (90%) in
1990, TREND 39 was 10-2 (83.3%) and TREND 40 was 5-0 (100%) in 1991. Some
trends will lose too, for example TREND 12 was 2-11 (15.4%) in 1989, but
playing against its selections would have yielded an 84.6% win percentage!
YOU must be aware during the season. Use your analytical ability and your
GAMBLER'S MATE!
I have revalidated the SYSTEM 1 (TRENDS) program outputs. Most trends
listed will have the win % included on the weekly output. If any trends do
NOT have a record, then they have not appeared recently, but have a history
of profitability. If you are aware of ANY trends that have a high win (or
loss) percentage, please send me a postcard with the trend and the source
of the trend to me. Once the info is validated, I will put a "Special
Thanks" to you in this manual.
