Why JCapper Platinum and why HDW Data?
Back in April, 2010 I cut a video of me running the JCapper Data Window in SQL Mode querying a JCapper HDW Database.

The Story of JCapper - September, 2008
My name is Jeff Platt. I'm an independent software developer. That means I design, test, and create software for a living. I have been doing this since 1987. I have done web enabled projects for Fortune 500 companies like American Express, Verizon Wireless, STMicroelectronics, Trammell-Crowe, and others. I have done work for small clients too. I got my start in programming by designing and coding an accounting information system for a group that owned car dealerships. I mention my programming backround as a way of letting you know that when it comes to software and databases I might know a thing or two about what I'm doing...

Foundations of Database Handicapping - March, 2007
My purpose in writing this Help Document is to help you understand how Data Window research can help you in your handicapping. Not all horses that enter a starting gate have an equal historical probability of winning the race. Some horses have advantages over today’s field. And others have disadvantages. Understanding these advantages and disadvantages, and using that understanding in your live play, is what database handicapping is all about...

The Sphere - June, 2006
I spent a little free time these past few weeks organizing my thoughts. My intent in doing so was to be able to do a write up of the mental process I go through on a daily basis when I’m in the act of playing horses. I think this stuff is important. While I’m playing, there are certain processes I do each day as I attempt to beat the takeout. I tend to think of the sum of these processes in terms of them forming a game plan or roadmap that leads to success...

CANRUN/CANTRUN Filters - June, 2005
The other day, Wed 06-08-2005 to be exact, I bet a couple of J1 horses in turf races at Belmont Park. Both ran so poorly that it kind of left me scratching my head afterwards... Every now and then I like to go back and review my plays both good and bad. I sometimes find that a little time spent doing research yields dividends later....

Finding the Playable Race - January, 2005
The vast majority of horseplayers today can be classified as speed and pace players. And the vast majority of those tend to spend a great deal of time and energy focusing on the speed and pace numbers themselves. Very often they lose sight of something that can be every bit as important...

Rebates can affect your bottom line in a very profound way. Aside from discipline, the ability to execute a game plan, a willingness to roll up one's sleeves and go to work... every single professional player that I have met in the past 10 years shares one other thing in common...

All of them... every single one... earns rebates.

What are rebates? And more importantly... how do you get them?      ...Read More - click here -

Full disclosure: If you take me up on my offer, once you are signed up and start earning rebates, I receive compensation in the form of a referral fee.
Comma Delimited Text Past Performance Data Files

Because JCapper .JCP past performance data files are comma delimited text (1435 data fields per horse record) they are compatible not just with JCapper but with many of the handicapping software apps and spreadsheets currently in use.

Rewards are proportional to work. People are often surprised to learn that I don't handicap on race day. About 98% of my handicapping is done in the months and weeks leading up to race day... |Continued...|
The Sphere - In June, 2006 I wrote an article titled "The Sphere" which was originally posted on the old JCapper Message Board. Fast forward two years. I'm told that about half a dozen sites around the web now have links to it. I was really flattered to see it featured on the Cal Expo Harness Site. The article itself may be a little out there. But it gets the point across. When it comes to betting horses profitably, discipline is the single most important factor in the game. If you haven't read the article yet, or haven't read it in a while...    |Continued...|

UDMs - Framework and Style

A UDM or User Defined Model is an electronic definition, stored for frequent use, that describes a handicapping method in exact detail. In JCapper, users can create UDMs for specific tracks, distances, surfaces, and classes. UDMs can also be created to exploit the patterns of specific trainers, riders, and owners. Users can set factor constraints using rank, numeric value, and gap for any of the individual factors supported by JCapper. UDM definitions can be created using any of the factors in combination with each other. A UDM can be as as generic or as specific as the player desires.

A well thought out UDM is a thing of beauty and a true reflection of the player's preferred individual handicapping style.    |Continued...|
Ask me for a FREE 90 Day Demo:    Click HERE.

Give the the program a FREE 90 day test drive and decide for yourself.

$695.00 is what I charge for the program. That might seem like a lot of money. It won't once you see how comprehensive the program is and the enormous amount of work that went into it. But none of that should matter to you. What really matters is this:

JCapper will improve your game and make you a better player. Can you put a price on that?

Ask me for a FREE 90 Day Demo and find out for yourself.
Free 90 Day Demo - the fine print...
The Demo Version has one restriction: You can't use it to run same day race reports for live play. You actually have to purchase the program to do that. However, the Demo Version of JCapper Platinum is designed to give you every opportunity to completely evaluate the program and decide on your own whether or not it's right for you.    |Continued...|
