A classic guide to handicap strategies in the field of thoroughbred racing Just as football evolved with the introduction of the forward pass and basketball with the development of the jump shot, so too was handicapping forever changed by the use of speed figures--and it all started with Andrew Beyer. With a foreword discussing the changes that have swept horse racing since the book's original publication in 1975, Picking Winners is essential reading both for serious horseplayers and curious amateurs.

Introduction The title of this book is a bold statement and one cannot really state this unless you put your money were your mouth is! I have written many books around UK horse racing systems and this one I really enjoyed due to the simplicity of this horse racing system and how easy it is to apply. The system uses the excellent free racing post website where you can obtain all the form data you need to use this system. Plus you do not have to be a form expert to understand it. I personally think horse racing pundits make heavy weather of horse racing form, i.e. looking at a horse’s breeding and many other factors. I think this information just confuses the average punter. I have added a special bonus horse laying system in this book and I think you will enjoy it! This laying system is so easy to follow you will look back at all the bets you have placed in the past and wonder how did I get it so wrong! Yes it will hurt knowing how much money you lost when you should have not. Moving back onto the horse backing system, picking winners will be very easy for you and even more you will gain confidence and control in your betting. This horse racing system normally picks 2 to 3 horses per day in UK handicap horse racing markets. You should aim at using Betfair to place your bets due to the better prices and in-play tactic I will show you in this book. Understand the system before placing bets, I hope you enjoy it!

"Picking Winners? uses a range of methodologies from econometrics to case studies to interviews with over one hundred Japanese government officials. The author draws on both existing case studies and her own in-depth study of the industrial space-launch service industry, about which little is known in Japan or elsewhere."--BOOK JACKET.

The Possibilities Are Staggering: Had you invested $10,000 in Cisco Systems back in early 1990, your investment would now be worth $3,650,000 Similarly, a $10,000 investment made in Microsoft in 1986 would be valued at more than $4,721,000 today $10,000 invested in Yahoo! in 1996 would today be worth $317,000 How do you get in on those deals—especially if you're not a Silicon Valley insider? How do you buy the high-tech win-ners and avoid the losers? How do you find the Yahoo!s, Microsofts, and Ciscos of tomorrow? The answers are here, in this newly revised edition of the national bestseller The Gorilla Game. The book reveals the dynamics driving the market for high-tech stocks and out-lines the forces that catapult a select number of compa-nies to "gorilla" status—dominating the markets they serve in the way that Yahoo! dominates internet portals, Microsoft dominates software operating systems, and Cisco dominates hardware for data networks. Follow the rules of The Gorilla Game and you will learn how to identify and invest in the "gorilla candidates" early on—while they are still fighting for dominance, and while their stocks are still cheap. When the dust clears and one company clearly attains leadership in its market, you'll reap the enormous returns that foresighted investors in high-tech companies deserve. This new edition of The Gorilla Game has been updated and revised throughout, with new focus and new insights into choosing the internet gorillas—the companies that are destined to dominate internet commerce.

Here you'll find his groundbreaking ideas about tech-nology markets that made his previous books bestsellers, combined with the work of Paul Johnson, a top Wall Street technology analyst, and Tom Kippola, a high-tech consul-tant and highly successful private investor. Together they have discovered and played the gorilla game and now give readers the real rules for winning in the world of high-tech investing. Step by step you'll learn how to spot a high-tech market that is about to undergo rapid growth and development, how to identify and spread investments across the potential gorillas within the market, and how to narrow your investments to the single, emerging leader—the gorilla—as the market matures. High-tech investing can be extremely risky, but investors who learn to play the gorilla game can avoid many of the traps and pitfalls and instead start capitalizing on untold profits. Personal wealth is only a gorilla game away.
