lilredrooster,
Thanks for the thoughts and kind words. I intend on posting a summary on the season today or tomorrow. I want to look at the results as if I had made all 100 unit wagers rather than what actually happened. I will also outline what I have in mind to change for next season.

The +130dogs, which is what I had focused on had a win rate of 38.94% with the average win bringing 149.42. There were a total of 472 of the +130dog picks made.
The breakdown by month, based upon a flat 100 units on every play showed the following:
Apr 442
May 891
Jun -127
Jul -1,418
Aug -966
Sep 208
Oct -300

Note the killing in July and August. Also the beginning of the season has every year done very well. It is my money management that I find an issue with. Up until now I have started at 100 units and continued to increase it as I won. However, that is in direct opposite of how the season plays out. My plan for next year is to start out at the 700 unit level (the one that I ended this year at) and slowly take it down to 100 by Mid-June. From that point I will either take a breather or start flipping those picks.

The Focus Picks ran the opposite way. They lost in the beginning of the season and then won in the 2nd. half. I will be changing my strategy on those for next year also.

As lilredrooster pointed out, the other dogs are worth a harder look. Unfortunately I didn't keep the level of detail on those that I have on the +130dogs. I really don't have the energy to go thru my 162+ files to compile it.

My plan for next year is to <snip>

i would suggest, in jest,
take a long vacation starting in March 2016 and return home in November 2016 (right after trick-or-treat).
Swim, eat, watch movies and music videos,
dance and sleep while only watching Nickelodeon (about all I do now)

my house sold
(right after my Angels went 5 wins and 2 lose on the OVER)
so time to pack and move to a mansion in CT (where my hubby like to be, i like him and the east coast too)
house party B4 Turkey Day 2015
I be there

i would say thanks for sharing your season
but will wait til next year

i still struggle with the run line
how a favorite is a dog
so i try harder next year too
