One year has passed since I came to Germany.
This can be guessed from the fact that the last race I watched in Japan was 大阪杯.
Where will I watch this race next year?
By the way, I have lost my confidence regarding my prediction for horse racing.
I plan to challenge races held in Germany because I noticed that it's impossible to get back money from JRA.
I will go to a racecourse in the town next to Heidelberg today after checking the result of 大阪杯.
Life in Germany
Road to "Tama-ten"
I could finally become "Jan-sei".
My condition was so good recently.
To tell the truth, I recorded my status every 100 games as below.
From these data, I can calculate the distribution of my ranks every 100 games.
It is clear that the number of the 4th place is small recently.
It is important to avoid the 4th place in "Mahjong-Soul" because the penalty point is so large.
I would like to keep this condition until I can become "Tama-ten".
After achieving "Jan-sei", I could get the right to play in "Oza-no-ma".
Only "Jan-sei" and "Tama-ten" are allowed to play in this room.
However, almost no one use "Oza-no-ma" and it takes a few minutes until 4 people are completed.
This is maybe because the point we can get or lose is almost the same as the one level lower room "Gyoku-no-ma" even though competitors are strong.
In addition, we can't use the assist function in "Oza-no-ma", which means that
・"Dora" doesn't shine
・The color of the same tile as I touch is not changed in the field.
・The kind and number of the winning tiles is not shown.
Judging from these facts, it makes sense that most "Jan-sei" use "Gyoku-no-ma" instead of "Oza-no-ma".
The shortage of people in "Oza-no-ma" happens especially when I would like to play mahjong at night because this period correspond to midnight or morning in Japan.
That is why I also will use "Gyoku-no-ma" from now on.
I would like to finish this section by introducing my recent favorite game.
Although my rank was the 4th place in the final round, I could be the top with this "tsumo".
It was so exciting!
Prediction
大阪杯(GI、阪神、芝2000m)
Favorite : ⑥Efforia (1st popular)
・He was selected as the representative horse in 2021 because he won in 3 GI races. Everyone knows his strength and he is of course the most popular horse in this race. Although his odds is so low, I would like to select him as my favorite because I can't imagine that he will be defeated by other horses.
・The important thing in this race is to find strong horses other than ⑥Efforia. The horses I would like to mention are ⑦Win Marilyn and ⑩Hishi Iguazu. The ablity to run in a relatively front position is needed in this race or in recent Hanshin Racecourse. They can run in such a way and their odds are moderate.
・As a same type of horse, we also can mention ④Jack d’Or and ⑭Lei Papale. They are the 2nd and 3rd popular horse, but I have some concerns. Regarding ④Jack d’Or, this is the first time for him to take part in a GI race. As for ⑭Lei Papale, the results in her recent races are not so good. From the perspective of odds, I prefer ⑦Win Marilyn and ⑩Hishi Iguazu.
・In conclusion, I bought the quinella tickets including ⑥Efforia. The other part of the tickets is ⑦Win Marilyn or ⑩Hishi Iguazu.
