About Ellis
Ellis Starr, also known as "Ubercapper", has been studying horse racing and handicapping for over 35 years. After playing the races full time in the early 1990's in order to fully understand all aspects of handicapping and wagering, Ellis was one of the first to publish his selections and analysis on the Internet, becoming an immediate hit with his philosophy of "teaching people to fish" while at the same time "giving them fish." Ellis does this by sharing his insights and the methodology he uses as part of the top-quality selections and analysis he creates. Today, Ellis' detailed selections and analysis reports are widely distributed almost every racing day at trackmaster.com, equibase.com and most of the legal Internet wagering outlets in the United States and the world such as twinspires.com, tvg.com and xpressbet.com.
Ellis also puts his money where his mouth is, by participating in Handicapping Tournaments, his recent results including an eigth place finish in the season long "Road to the Triple Crown" contest at Keeneland. In 2010, Ellis placed second in the Luv Your Bets contest. In addition, 2011 marks the sixth straight year Ellis qualified to join an elite group for the Keeneland Tournament of Champions.
Ellis is the National Racing Analyst for Equibase, The Thoroughbred Industry's Official Source for Racing Information, and writes a widely distributed "Race of the Week" story covering the biggest races in North America. Ellis' articles have been published in Horseplayer magazine and in Australia's Practical Punting magazine as well as on the web site of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association. He appears regularly on Sam Spear's "At the Track" weekly radio broadcast on KNBR in San Francisco as well as the Drake and Zeke show on 98.1 The Max in Memphis and is a guest lecturer to aspiring jockeys at Chris McCarron's North American Racing Academy.
With a tremendous passion for helping fans of all levels to have a great day at the races, Ellis regularly assists groups attending the races, adding value and appeal to events by helping fans of all levels to become comfortable and familiar with racing information while at the same time helping them to cash a few tickets, adding value and appeal to events by giving fans their own personal handicapper for the day.
In his daily handicapping, Ellis rarely meets a favorite he likes well enough to bet, specializing in finding vulnerable favorites. His style focuses relentlessly on one or more horses that he believes will run well at above-average odds. This style results in much higher payoffs when his selections win then most public handicappers. Ellis provides fair odds for win bets on his contenders, with which you can compare to the tote board to better determine when to play and when to pass.
Most importantly, Ellis is dedicated help you to make a profit now and in the future by analyzing the races and educating with handicapping lessons you can take with you in your handicapping endeavours later on, hoping to impart an edge over the public at large. Remember, favorites may win 33% (1/3) of the time, but they lose 67% (2/3) of the time. The public at large just wants winners. Ellis strives to break that habit, for himself and for you, because when you think just in terms of predicting the winner you sacrifice profit. Hardly anyone can make money over time just picking which horse will win the race and betting on that horse to win.
