Another tip, find out what tracks are involved in the contest and get familiar with them. That was my downfall. I entered one of the Aqueduct contests about three years ago. Being from N.Y. I was familiar with the trainers jocks some of the horses and more important the bias of the track. The other track in play was Churchill, and besides derby time I really do not play it often. So in the long run it hurt me. I didn't hit one race from there all weekend. I did do very well the first day at Aqueduct, I think I was 5-5, but unfortunatley some of the races at Aqu were unplayable. After the first day I was first out of 200 people. On the second day, It just seemed every horse payed $40.00 dollars and I didn't have them. I ended up coming in 12th place. So I did make some money. It was cool, I never thought I would be in the money, let alone have a chance to win. I remember walking into the contest and seeing people with laptops and briefcases and all I had was a form and a notebook in my Monmouth Park bag. It was a very cool expierience, I would like to try again soon. Good Luck!
