Month: February 2023

Hello everyone.

Hope this message finds you well.
This will most likely be my last post.

In order to keep things moving forward and to make Zen’s future happen by ensuring overhead expenses are met I decided to resume selling an edbain.com popular product called Trainer-Jockey Exacta reports. < Click link to learn more.

Though these reports technically would compensate my other company equi-stats as these stats are derived directly from equi-stats database, my person has the urge within to keep our venture going so the plan is to apply Every sale to Zen from these reports . My greatest wish is that this will cover compensation for my two assistants who will be running Everything in my absence because these key people are the very reason Zen will be able to continue.

Though we’re still working on tracks and expect the bulk of these to be ready by March 6th, we have some ready now. I wanted to ask each of You a personal favor and that is to spread the word.

HUGE PROGRESS WITH RELEASE OF VERSION 2

————————————————————————————————-

————————————————————————————————-

Get ready to have your mind blown
In Part one of Proof of Concept we wrote about the positive results from the Standouts:

Since 6/20/22 and through 12/31/22 there were 8,089 Standouts, 2,710 of these won for an on average 33.50% win rate, 1,902 placed for a 23.51% place rate and 1,172 showed for a 14.48% show rate and an overall in the money hit rate of 71.50%.

Of these 8,089 races 15 did not offer place bets and 218 did not offer show bets. If we bet $2 across on all we would have wagered $48,038 and received $48,584.18 for an overall flat bet profit of $546.18. Had we bet $20 across on all we would have a flat bet profit of $5,461.80 or $200 across on all we would have a flat bet profit of $54,618.00.

This profit is without eliminating a single wager for odds and flat betting each of these across and before adding Zen wagers on average 5% cash reward. Presenting the information this way first as it shows that once we released Version 2 we’ve reached a milestone that without adding in anything else our module is proof of success, it works and we are only 30% complete.
—————————————————————————

The Reason Our Program is a Huge Success with the release of Version 2 is the algorithms now in place in our module Correctly Separates out the Standouts and takes us to Profit by separating and selecting 8,089 races that have a 13 point advantage from the next runner in that same race and doing so from 18,852 available, essentially eliminating 10,763 races takes us not only from 59.44% in the money hit rate to 71.50% if we flat bet all Standouts without eliminating one wager we’d go from a loss of $19,713.58 to a profit of $546.18 for $2 across the board wagers (win-place-show) even before adding in cash rewards and we’re only 30% done, only 30% of where we’re going to be and with proper bet sizing we can make the $30K to run an equity crowd funding campaign and finish what we began; getting our module to producing an on average between 65 and 75% winners, not in the money and then this boils down to bet sizing and how much profit we want to make!

Here’s why. Since 7/3/22, 13 days after we released Version 2 and began tracking Standouts which began 6/20/22 there were a total of 18,852 races and our program selects runners to finish in a particular order by the algorithms we already have in place and of these 18,852 races 6 did not offer any bets even on win, 101 did not offer bets on place and 795 did not offer bets on show. Had we bet $2 across on all WPS offered on these 18,852 we would have wagered total of $111,082.00 and got back $91,368.42 for a total loss of $19,713.58. 4,440 won for a 25.30% win rate, 3,606 placed for a 19.13% place rate and 2,829 showed for a 15.0% show rate and an overall in the money hit rate of 59.44%.

Our program separated 8,089 races from these 18,852 because our algorithms assigned specified to do so and 2,710 of these won, increasing our win rate 8.2%, 1,902 placed for a 23.51% on average place rate increasing 4.38% place rate and 1,172 showed for a 14.48% show rate, essentially the same show rate percentage as all. So by separating the 8,089 Standouts we went from a $19,713.58 loss to a $546.18 profit even before receiving cash rewards on every $2 bet.

Bet $20 across and that profit increases to $5,461.80, or $200 across and the profit hits $54,681.00!
now
Add in the on average 5% cash rewards Zen receives on their WPS wagers and the numbers go off the scale:
$2 across becomes a profit of $2,948.08
$20 across becomes a profit of $29,480.80
$200 across becomes a profit of $294,808.00
and this is if we do not progress one step further!

Yet it would be a shame to get this far and stop because I am no longer at the helm when we have someone capable, as capable as Ed would be in making money on our bets through Jon Wright. And now that I’ve laid out this Proof of Concept all that an equity crowd funding campaign would require is financial statements showing our expenditures and asset of what we’ve invested to date along with a projection statement and estimate requires around $30K to cover for preparation, SEC filings, professional fees (accounting and legal) production videos to raise 5 million and 5 million would not only take Zen to 65 to 75% winners, this would also cover for integrating A I so we could robotically trade our investments.

I prepared the Proof of Concept for you to have ready whenever you (Zen shareholders) are ready to present to obtain equity capital to complete our venture. Though whenever you are ready to present an updated Proof of Concept should be done. Jon Wright maintains a running total of each so this can be done on his end.

Presenting what we have to you in its completed to date form now lets me step away meaning at present with how I’m feeling I very much wish to take the time I have left to spend with loved ones and resting because this is the best way I can show everyone involved in our venture what a big deal we have, what we’ve accomplished together and it gives me the chance to ask you from me, my heart and Ed’s, don’t let our dream fade. Don’t let all we’ve worked for together just go cause I am no longer here. We’ve set everything in place so there is no reason we can’t reach the end. Plus no one, not one person in our venture will lose anything, not even their initial investment because everyone is in my trust and the payout from the Camp Lejeune settlement, though most likely 3 years from now provides everyone their investment back. I ask, how many times have you invested in anything and at the very least got your initial investment back? I answer for everyone cause I know the answer is never. But this is the case here. I ask only that you don’t let our venture that we built together die.

Lastly, we need to fund Zen. Replenish our betting account and enough to cover our overhead, the absolute necessary things required to keep Zen moving forward. Even if you already own a share in equistats, consider buying in another share to keep us going. You’ll gain ownership also to a piece of our horse racing database the most crucial component to our existence. Once I’m no longer here there won’t be anyone to cover for this while waiting for funds to come in. Every penny we had, including betting pool, and every thing I had left went to get us here, in order to release version 2. Jon continues to bet for us (Zen) and is quite successful yet we have little funds for him to bet with.

In a recent post I offered a fair way of taking care of all this by investing in a share in equistats that equals an additional share in Zen and though stated that the investment towards this can happen throughout the year to give everyone the chance to use the program for awhile and make money we could use a portion of this now. We opened 7 shares in equistats for $7K per share equivalent to another share in Zen meaning when dividends are paid that this share would be added to any shares already owned. However we’re virtually near zero in our betting bank since covering for Zen’s bills since September. Have no doubt Jon could make all the money we need to get us to crowd funding if he had money to invest now. So this is also a last plea. Even if one share was funded, Zen could move mountains. My plea is, buy in a piece of a share now.

Commit by sending in something today and then take the rest of the year to pay the difference. These investments can be made at the following link: Buy a share in equistats

After sharing all the above my wish is that the light bulb went off. That by showing you these numbers that you too see not only what we accomplished and how substantial it is but also what is in store and how we’re on the cusp of success if we don’t stop things from moving. This is my wish. Keep going! Do what you can to make this happen. This means everything to Ed and to me and to all of us involved.

Since 6/20/22 and through 12/31/22 there were 8,089 Standouts, 2,710 of these won for an on average 33.50% win rate, 1,902 placed for a 23.51% place rate and 1,172 showed for a 14.48% show rate and an overall in the money hit rate of 71.50%.

Of these 8,089 races 15 did not offer place bets and 218 did not offer show bets. If we bet $2 across on all we would have wagered $48,038 and received $48,584.18 for an overall flat bet profit of $546.18. Had we bet $20 across on all we would have a flat bet profit of $5,461.80 or $200 across on all we would have a flat bet profit of $54,618.00.

This profit is without eliminating a single wager for odds and flat betting each of these across and before adding Zen wagers on average 5% cash reward. Presenting the information this way first as it shows that once we released Version 2 we’ve reached a milestone that without adding in anything else our module is proof of success, it works and we are only 30% complete.

Add 5% cash reward to each return and
$2 across on all Standouts nets a profit of $2,948.08
$20 across on all Standouts nets a profit of $29,480.80
$200 across on all Standouts nets a profit of $294,808.00

There are 3 ways that Zen shareholders can proceed and all three are a way of making money.

First is you could flat bet all without eliminating and should be able to set up a wagering account through the affiliate I mentioned previously that offers cash rewards though not as high as Zen gets but any percentage adds to the bottom line. Note unfortunately this can not be set up for anyone who lives in Nevada or California due to legislation.

Or instead of flat betting all, you could elect to do as we do (Jon, myself and all inside Zen) and analyze the results and place bets accordingly, essentially culling through odds and hit rates and wager on just these.

Second since Jon has been successfully betting what we have analyzed and proving profit, be certain that he maintains funds to bet with as opposed to paying the required things to keep us going with our betting pool and by year end we’ll have enough profit to continue working on what we have that would get us to 60 to 75% winners.

Or Third, take this proof of concept and go after equity crowd funding which Jon would head as he knows Everything I know about what we’re doing. All that is required is Proof of Concept, a current financial and money in order to set the campaign up properly though there is no reason Zen couldn’t get funding to not only get this to 75% winners but Also incorporate A I so Zen could robotically trade so if making the decision to move in this direction opens the door to sourcing for funds in upwards of several million.

And there is actually a 4th option. We have over a million dollars already invested in what we built. There is no reason what we have can’t be sold and at the very least could net what has already been invested. I just personally did not pursue this as an option beyond the two mentioned before sharing my plight.

No matter, even staying in status quo there is no reason to believe that once I’m unable to be active in Zen that Zen won’t continue and succeed.

Apologies for being forthwith in my recent posts though my person is unable to do otherwise. Though by outlaying what I face is dismal doesn’t mean that Zen is destine to go down the tubes because I will no longer be present.

Honestly I really need to step away. That is what I meant when I said this is probably my last post. Since my diagnosis I have been going full guns in order to make sure Zen will keep going. I have every confidence that Jon Wright can get us to the finish line and expressing this was my intent in the most recent post. I hope that by my stepping away, meaning not posting anymore on the blog would give me the peace I so need to relax and do the best I can for the remainder of my days. My post was Not intended to give concern. Quite the opposite. It’s just that I am no longer able to push through and since I know inward that we are in a good place and that everything will be fine entrusting all that we (I) set up before bowing out and bowing out is for me a great need because I’m exhausted is all.

Please remember I have everyone listed in my trust so nothing, not even initial investments will be lost. This was a God send to me. Knowing of the Camp Lejeune settlement gave me the peace I needed when I came to realize that physically I was no longer able to carry on.

The most difficult thing that I have had to accept is I have no idea how long I have and when I will not be able to continue as I have. Yet I am aware of what I face, understand there is a window and I also personally experience fading so this makes me anxious. I do not know from one day to the next if I will be here so when I write things it is always with this in mind.

And I try to avoid writing about what I’m experiencing because I do not wish to worry anyone. I personally worry that I won’t get things to the place they need to be to carry forward without me and this is the reason I have kept pushing. Though, Now I feel comfort in knowing this has been accomplished. Everything is set. Jon will make everything we set out to do happen, and this allows me to step away and the reason why I stated this will most likely be my last post.

I’m leaving our world. That is a given and something I accept yet I plan to be with everyone in Spirt, along side Ed and rooting all of us home by hollering “Let em roll at the quarter pole”. I have given all I have through and through, each step of the way and it is because of this that I am able to leave in peace.

Way back when….. there was a techy for its time commercial playing introducing us to a new experience they dubbed “The Information Super Highway” and it wasn’t long for the world to discover they were referring to the Internet.

This goes so far back it was even before the Y2K buzz enthralled the nation, actually the entire planet because they were concerned the change in Century from 1900s to 2000s could very well bring all technology to a halt. But we made it and soon established our edbain.com presence by offering Ed’s Layoff and Claim statistics online and at several subscribers suggestion we added a state of the art “Message Board” so we could talk stats.

And talk stats we did, often with an interesting fellow stat enthusiast named Jon Wright whose discussions about statistics began on “the board” were so captivating that we found this such a benefit that we soon continued Ed’s and Jon’s discussions in our monthly Newsletter.

Jon has been the perfect assistant because Ed and me out of the gate noticed he and Jon share the same brain. So it was natural. Almost as if the lining of the stars had to be just so for this to happen and it did!

Ed and I are realists. Instead of going inward and disappearing when given bad news, we take the opposite and accept reality cause there is absolutely nothing we can do to change it. We view the knowing as an opportunity to plan and plan we did by first accepting when we started this venture that there was a high percentage chance that Ed wouldn’t see this to completion because of his cancer diagnosis. This bought about much discussion with the most important one being who would we want to carry this forward and have the utmost confidence in that would be able to do so and both of our first choices for this was our lifelong friend Jon Wright. Here’s why;

This is Ed’s Brain:

This is Jon Wright’s Brain:

So you can see our reasoning.

Continuing in the mindset of accepting things head on, I am fully aware that the coherent days I have left are limited yet understanding this does not make anxiety dissipate. My biggest concern, actually for a long time has been due to years of health issues that I won’t be able to get us to fruition because of these health issues I face. Yet rather than let this mountain of fear stop me in my tracks, I get up each day and say OK, thank you creator for giving me this time to set things in motion so we can plan to make a difference and this is how I go about my day.

Yet all this does Not mean that I know exactly what to do. How to get us there with the least difficulties. It just means I see and have always seen the big picture and understand if given the time and proper finance what Can Happen from what we’ve started. We truly have in hand the ability to “Better Our World” because once we reach final version we not only can’t lose, we’re a shoe in for making millions if not a billion as already proven by Bill Benter.

So this could very well be my last post as truthfully I Am fading. It’s been a challenge getting up each day though what drives me is to do everything I can to set in motion that our venture continue. Though it can Not and will Not without You, all of you seeing what we have accomplished to date and the actual Picture of where we can be which is why I write.

As stated earlier when first diagnosed I was flustered and didn’t have my thinking cap on straight. I guess that would be normal for anyone told what I was yet now that I’ve had time to think I realize asking a group of shareholders to take the brunt of the cost to move us forward wasn’t rational or fair as the majority wishes to continue understanding the original plan which is to have one person make the bets for Zen, a large enough investment once we reach 65 to 75% on average wins (not in the money) actual wins. Once there we can’t lose.

To date we’re about 30% done. What we have already accomplished is phenomenal though without someone pointing this out this could be lost. We could actually bet across the board on All Standouts (including the updated ones and changed ones through the day) and turn a very small profit because a lot of small priced favorites are included in the wins.

Moving forward means Jon is already and continues to place wagers for Zen. We analyze the results from the algorithms in place which then tells us where to focus our wagers. The money earned is how we’ll fund continuance and the release of future versions. And later equity crowd funding can always be a considered option since the release of Version 2 shows proof of concept.

The goal is to have the runners that make it to the list of Standouts to Win on average at least 65 to 75% of the time and know that this list is expected to be much smaller than current (say on average 15 bets to make per day) with the end result being for us to flat bet all, most likely across and we will turn profit.

However if Zen stops here and I pass then all stops there too.

So after long thought and opening myself up to guidance, in part guidance from Ed, I have come up with a plan. One that would fund Zen for 1 year, including paying assistants Jon Wright and Aubri as these are the two people who alone keep things moving along as it is completely unrealistic to expect each to work as I have for free. So what I propose would cover for their efforts during this first year, move Zen forward And afford Us, all of us the money needed to bring our venture to completion.

This is how:

Below is a graph of our structure. You’ll note that equi-stats, my other company, the one that owns the database which is the reason Zen could get off the ground cause of equi-stats supplying a horse racing database feed for free to Zen when compatible costs $500K per year and Zen Racing is Owned 60% by equi-stats. However out of the 36 shareholders Zen has, quite a few of these were/are equi-stats shareholders that converted a good portion of their shares to Zen, including me as well as my equi-stats business partner and head developer Joel.

All said and done there are 12.5 shares that equi-stats holds alone and are open in shares in Zen. Though its imperative for equi-stats to retain shares in Zen so when they reach goal equi-stats will have benefit too, this leaves 7 shares open. And what this means is this, we are opening these 7 shares in equi-stats to Zen shareholders for almost the initial investment made in Zen. These shares are offered for 7K verses the 6K and what this would mean is that these share have equal value to Zen shares so when dividends are paid any of these 7 shares invested in equi-stats would receive equal 1 share in dividends paid by Zen though a share in equi-stats means much more because a silent share in equistats give the shareholder a part ownership in equi-stats horse racing database, the absolute essential component that makes Zen go. In other words should equi-stats no longer be able to provide the database feed free to Zen then owning shares secures continuance verses the alternative of having to pay about $500K per year to an outside source for an equivalent data feed.

The shareholders who have a copy of our betting program in hand can now see first hand what we have accomplished and given time am certain will turn profit too. So what we propose is any Zen shareholder who uses the program or not but would like another share in our venture has another opportunity to buy in through these 7 open shares in equi-stats and can do so by investing in increments throughout this year. Meaning this gives a full year to pay for the share purchased so when we reach the point of paying dividends then this share purchase would count the same as any investment already made in Zen only the biggest difference and a plus is that as an equi-stats shareholder you now would own rights to the database! And this is substantial.

In closing to a very long blog post from my and Ed’s heart. We could never have gotten this far without any of you believing in what we are building. Ed devoted his life to racing and always knew with the right information that you could win and he did. Betting on thoroughbreds is Not gambling. Gambling is a game of chance and if you win the establishments throw you out. Betting on racing and winning only means to the racetracks or casinos that you will most likely bet more and should you win, they still get their “take” so it’s no issue if you win and we’re making this possible through this venture that you and Ed and me are part of.

To begin investing in a share which is how we can keep things going and eventually get to fruition please begin by investing at the following link: Shareholder equi-stats stock inv

To clarify, this is almost the same opportunity we offered when we first opened shares in Zen. Invest $7K (instead of $6K) and we’re offering this investment over time instead of up front, and by doing so receive the same advantages of a dividend payout from Zen’s profits plus own a crucial piece of what makes all of this possible, a piece of the horse racing database, the core behind what makes any of what we have happen. Invest what you can, as you can though in order to keep Zen going the full amount has to in by the end of this year. It costs on average just over $2K a month for Zen to run, Not counting Any compensation for Jon or Aubri with over $6K due in Jan which we didn’t cover and things can stop if we don’t cover these expenses. Even though Jon and Aubri may consider continuing temporarily without compensation it is not something that any of us should take for granted.

My wish would have been to be with you when we crossed the finish line. Though I understand now that this won’t happen I am grateful beyond words for being a part of what we all built together and for our getting as far as we have!
