It's outdated-- I know all about it.
(I know a lot of things.)
Short list: Everything.
Currently I use The Handicapping Magician™

I think he's referring to the HDW version of it, which looks to be not updated for eons. It also seems to use some mechanical formula for the figs, rather than the HDW numbers.

Thanks, BUT...
I've been using Synergism 2 which is manual input so thought I'd try Syn6 with downloading. Manual input was just too hard on this old back.
Thanks, guys.

The late Dick Schmidt was a big tout for Synergism 6, a search may reveal some info.

I used this program (or an earlier version?) years ago; stopped using because it just wasn't working for the way I handicapped.
But, in terms of support, Bob Purdy was a class act, always there with advice and help; emails were answered in detail within 24 hours every time. Very impressed by his dedication and attention.
Hope this helps
Mike

I have never been a user of any version of Synergism, but I have heard from many that Bob Purdy is a class act, and that the CS quality was good. ICYMI, Dick Schmidt, an original member of the Sartin group and, for many years a professional handicapper, sad to say,passed on a few year ago. He was a friend of Purdy's and promoter of Synergism, but came to believe that all the variants of the Sartin-derived pace handicapping programs, including his own TPR, once extremely effective, had become so completely priced into the ML that their value was reduced to the point that he quit professional play ca. a decade ago, switching to trading FOREX.
Anyone interested in following up on this subject should do a search on Dick's archived posts here -- he was a very sharp handicapper and a very funny and helpful guy.

You get it!
That's why I keep on trying to do my best to recommend Handicapping Magic.
I've done HTR
I've done Sartin
I've done Synergism.
I've done it all and know it all.
I've read just about everything in print.
I can't help it.

It took me 30 years to learn what I know...and then another 7 years to realize that the trick was to forget what I had already learned.

Excellent point!
I could not agree with you more.
Handicapping Magic says the same thing.
