Overview

What is My ROI?
My ROI (Return on Investment) is a handicapping and wagering tool that provides a complete detailed breakdown of your wagering record across a series of filters and criteria. More than simply a win/loss record, My ROI helps you pinpoint your most successful betting patterns so you can use that knowledge to track and improve your profitability.

What does My ROI do for me?
My ROI provides an overview of your wagering activity, then lets you drill down to decipher and illustrate your best wagering patterns:

1. Review your ROI based on distinct handicapping factors including track, bet type, race class, race distance, race surface, breed, trainer and jockey/driver.
2. See an at-a-glance view of your best bets by track, bet type, horse breed, race surface, race type, race distance, trainer and jockey driver.
3. Best ROI shows you a detailed analysis of your most profitable betting patterns across multiple categories.
4. Summary Detail lets you review the individual wagers factored into the betting algorithms for the ROI condition displayed.
5. Export your wagers to Excel to use in your favorite wagering tool.

What does My ROI display when first opened?
When My ROI first loads it displays a snapshot view of your betting performance across eight individual categories including track, bet type, horse breed, race surface, race type, race distance, trainer, and jockey/driver.

How is ROI calculated?
ROI is calculated as the (Wager Payout - Wager Amount)/Wager Amount and displayed as a percentage, e.g. a $150 payout resulting from a $100 wager will display as a 50% ROI – (150-100)/100 = 50%.

What types of questions can My ROI answer?
My ROI can provide just about everything you ever wanted to know about your betting history on Youbet.com. Some examples include

1. How do I do when I bet on Saratoga or Tampa Bay Downs?
2. Are my Trifecta bets profitable?
3. How do I do betting on turf races?
4. How's my record at the downhill turf course at Santa Anita?
5. Do I perform well when betting maiden claiming races?
6. What particular trainer and jockey/driver combinations do best for me?

For more detailed results My ROI allows you to run multi-dimensional, filtered queries across all eight betting profiles. For example:

1. What is my ROI when I bet maiden special weight races at Keeneland?
2. How do I do on allowance or graded stakes races on the turf at Hollywood Park?
3. Do I show a profit betting horses driven by David Miller at the Meadowlands?

What is the default date range of my wagering data?
My ROI displays the prior six months of wagering activity as the default date range.

Can I change the date range and run a different query?
You can key in different dates in the date box or select a specific date range after clicking on the calendar icon. You must then select the "Update Summary" button to refresh the data.

How far back can I view my wagering history?
Currently you can retrieve your wagering history dating back to January 1st, 2008. Coming soon, you'll be able to access your wagering all the way back to January 2005.

How do I view a summary of my overall wagering history?
The "Show ROI" button displays a summary of your ROI, as well as wagering details for any of the category filters you may wish to query.

What is displayed in the summary section once I select "Show ROI"?
By selecting "Show ROI" you will see the following breakdown based on the selections you've highlighted within each of the categories:

1. # of Bets
2. Win %
3. ROI
4. Total Wagered Amount
5. Total Payout Amount. Profit/Loss

Please Note: If you do not select any category filters, the "Select All" box is automatically checked for each category and you will see a summary of your overall betting history.

Can I drill down to see actual wagers that I've placed?
Yes. After selecting "Show ROI", click on the "Summary Detail" link to show the actual wagers that were factored into the betting algorithms for the ROI condition displayed.

Can I exclude specific bets from my ROI summary based on the total wager amount?
Yes. You can exclude bets from your ROI summary by entering the dollar values in the "exclude wagers" field and selecting "Show ROI".

What is the number of bets displayed in My ROI and how is this different than a wager?
My ROI is designed to show your ROI for an actual bet. For example, a $5 exacta wager of 4 with 1,2,3 will yield one $15 wager on your Wager Log, but is actually 3 distinct $5 bets. In this example, your ROI summary will show this wager as 3 bets.
