I've taken this to Santa Anita, Del Mar, and Los Al. No papers to fumble with, plus, I have my software on there as well. The only time I've used paper pp's, in the past 5 or 6 years, is if I'm at the sportsbook. I can get them for free.

I have done my own playbooks for the years dating back to 2011. I find it is easier to recreate the day with hard copy. Plus going through it in this manner I find the self learning experience is very valuable. Now that I am taking this approach it will be far easier and not really much more expensive and time consuming. For tracks I play on the fly I have a program with PP's and my pace sheet. I have all this info. Doing it that way is convenient for say when I come home after work and look at races for 2 hours. It is not as a whole a be all end all experience. I find that technology helps me not eliminates the virtues that existed before it.
