In this short video, I introduce you to Walter Trice's racing formula 'Rule 62', showing you the calculations with reference to positions.
*RULES (When to Take or Pass)
ONE: When the leader’s pip count is 62 or less, subtract 5 and divide by 7, rounding down and then add the result to the leader’s adjusted pip count. This will find the point of last take.**
TWO: When the leader’s pip count is higher than 62, divide by 10, round up and add 1 and then add the result to the leader’s adjusted pip count. This will find the point of last take.
(When the leader has an adjusted pip count of exactly 79 or 89 add an additional 1 to the point of last take)
**for money
*RULES (When to double and redouble)
ONE: The leader can double when the trailer is three pips off his last take.
TWO: The leader can redouble when the trailer is two pips off his last take.
