StarGirl’s journey: Taking ARV to the next level

It’s not often that I do anything spontaneous – you can ask anyone who knows me.  So when I decided on Thursday afternoon to pay $100 to enter the National Handicapping Championship (NHC) Tour for a qualifying tournament starting Friday, it even surprised me.  

Partly my decision was due to Tom Atwater’s recent success in qualifying for a seat in Vegas at the NHC Tour championship in January 2011.  His blogs on this site about using Associative Remove Viewing (ARV) and logical handicapping were inspiring!  Plus, I’d already decided to do the free Public Handicapper (PH) contest – four races per week – and those races were part of the second online NHC Tour tournament. 

So I gave myself a new game name — StarGirl — and put my money where my mind is, because for me  it’s all about ARV.  The end result?  I ranked 23rd out of 822 participants! Things started going my way in the last three races when I decided to act on a hunch.  If only I’d changed my strategy sooner!  

Before the contest began, I used ARV to choose three horses for each of the 10 races.  The “win” horse had my highest Targ confidence ranking (CR), with the next-highest scores designating the place and show horses.  (The PH contest requires you to list three horses in case of scratches since you can’t make any changes after you place your entry.) 

My first viewing was for the Kentucky Derby at 10:27 a.m. on Thursday, soon after the race was posted on PRECOG10.  I did sessions between 7-11:58 p.m. on Thursday for Friday’s five races. Here’s what happened at Friday’s races:  

First race: my place horse, Elusive Jozi, showed 

Second race: my place horse, Silver Timber, won, and my show horse, Chamberlain Bridge, placed 

Third race: no winners 

Fourth race: my win horse, Flying Private, placed, and my place horse, Enriched, showed 

Fifth race: my place horse, Evening Jewel, placed 

All fine and good, but only wins count in the NHC Tour and PH contests.  I’d seen similar success with place and show horses on my two trips to Oaklawn this season, but there I also had a couple of first-place wins each day, too.  What was going on? 

Between Friday’s races, I did viewings from 1:34-4:04 p.m. for Saturday’s four remaining races.  The day started with a muddy track at Churchill Downs and lots of horses scratched, including the horse I picked for place. The only change I made to my original picks was to add my fourth-ranked horse as my show selection for the sixth NHC Tour race. 

Sixth race: no winners  

Seventh race: my place horse, Mona de Momma, won 

With no winners and three races to go, I was desperate.  So I changed my strategy and decided to “bet” my place horse to win for the last three races.  

Eighth race: my place horse, Atta Boy Roy, won (I had my first winner!) 

Ninth race: my place horse, Court Vision, placed (in the money!) 

Tenth race: my place horse, Super Saver, won (I picked the Kentucky Derby winner!) 

So what does this mean in terms of ARV?  I’ve thought about it a lot, because my intention was to pick the one and only winner of each race.  That’s what I always do.  Yet I’ve had fewer hits lately, as evidenced by my sad showing in the Derby List Triple Crown contest.  Even the three NHC Tour  “wins” don’t count as ARV hits because they weren’t my top choice.  (Similarly, I scored zero points in the PH contest because I entered my top choices.)  

But CLEARLY my subconscious is delivering … there’s just some interference along the way as I learn how to interpret the message.  It will be interesting to see if  I can take my ARVing to the next level, with three chances left to qualify for a seat at the NHC Tour championship!

Week 2 Results: ARV4fun Challenge

Feb 032010
 

After the second week of racing in the Derby List Triple Crown Contest, ARVer Joanie “HotLips” Sullivan tied with four others for SECOND place and Tom Atwater tied for THIRD place with 10 others in the Points contest.

Here are some charts that summarize the Week 2 results of the ARV4fun Challenge:  The left side of the chart above shows the seven ARV4fun participants’ results, using Associative Remote Viewing (ARV) and no logical handicapping. (Missing chart color bars denote zero points.)

The right side of the charts are various simple statistics:

  • ARV4fun avg – Average of the seven ARV4fun participants
  • DLTC avg – Average of all 118 Derby List Triple Crown contest participants

Below are the results for the @’a (ROI) contest.  For this contest, ARV4fun participants used the same horses as predicted in the Points contest, while deciding the amount to bet based on intuition. So for ARV4fun participants, this contest is a combination of applying ARV and personal intuition.

 The process for your Associative Remove Viewing (ARV) session can be broken into three major steps:

  • Remote Viewing
    • Obtain the coordinate for each race from PRECOG10.
    • Do your cool down, giving yourself  a few moments to breath deeply and clear your mind.
    • Write down what you see with your “mind’s eye” as you connect with the photosite for the winning horse that’s associated with the coordinate for this race.  Sketch what you see.
  • Analysis/Judging (The steps on how to use PRECOG10 are described in detail on the PRECOG Overview page . )
    • Enter your coordinate and do a Confidence Ranking for each of the Choices, then “SAVE” it to complete the judging process. 
    • Post a copy of your transcript as a jpg file on the Google Group PRECOG10 page: http://groups.google.com/group/precog10/files.  Please use the file naming convention:<event-name>_ <viewer-name>_<coordinate>.<file-suffix>.  The event names for today’s races are HolyBull and LeComte. The Upload File section is at the bottom of the page.  (If you do not have scanning capability, but do have fax, please fax to 818-337-2020.) 
  • Feedback
    • Come to the webinar and watch the races live!
    • After you receive the e-mail with the race results, go back into PRECOG10 and enter the Actual Outcome letter on the Admin: Predictions and Actualization/Outcome Page, then click PRESS BUTTON TO SAVE YOUR CHANGES.  You’ll then receive an e-mail with the winning photosite to compare to the transcript of your viewing session. 
    • To learn more about the results of this and prior races, check out the tabs at the bottom of the Google Group race results page: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=r-jwDbwOOe5agojTBpSd4-A .

Horse Racing at Laurel Park

A few days ago, my friend Tom Atwater mentioned a contest that sounds like a lot of fun–picking the winning horses in two races each week leading up the Triple Crown. The Derby List Triple Crown Contest attracts a lot of people like Tom who know their horses.  No actual money is bet, but you can track your success in two contests.  And it’s free.  The deadline to register for their contest is Jan. 22.

Which got me to thinking:  how well would someone do in this contest who doesn’t know beans about the sport of kings?  I’m the person you see at the track making $2 show bets.

Even if I don’t know much about racing, I have an ace-in-the-hole called Associative Remote Viewing.  ARV is a scientifically based protocol that helps you to more reliably access a dimension that isn’t bound by time and space.  So I can just go forward in time and view the winner.  It almost sounds like cheating doesn’t it?  But my mentor, Marty Rosenblatt, and others say it’s something anyone can learn to do, so I don’t feel too bad.

Which brings me to the ARV Challenge: Let’s get as many people involved using ARV as possible and see how we fare as a group.  Marty will provide training to those who need it and give us a month’s free access to the PRECOG10 database.  Tom will provide the horse sense and manage statistics.  I will blog about how we’re doing.  The rest is up to YOU!

You can sign up for the ARV Challenge any time between now and the Belmont Stakes in June.  To get started, please choose from the links below:
