Its so hard to win over the long run betting horses...i feel the only way i win is if i spot play 1 maybe to races a day, bet them and thats it. I find it so hard to go to otb with my buddies and bet for a whole day and finish up.

Here are 5 more pieces of advice:
1. Keep accurate records of your results.
2. Before betting on a horse, estimate it's chance of winning the race and compare your estimate to the late tote odds. The best way to do that, IMO, is to make a line for all the horses in the race. (and, in case it's not obvious, DON'T bet if the tote odds don't justify it.)
3. Bet very small until you have good evidence that you can win in the long run.
4. Bet less on longshots than you do on favs.
5. Keep accurate records of your results.
Yeah, I repeated one of them. If you want to win, it's very important to know exactly how you are doing overall. It's not enough to say "I win some days and lose some days, but I end up ahead. I think."
