The majority of the people on this site enjoy handicapping the races. If there is a way to simplify all the information for the real beginners, so they really understand why they should bet the closer because of all the speed in the race. Then maybe they could catch the fever and see how interesting and exciting the sport is. If they understand then maybe they will bet more based off their own opinions. Until then they will be betting two dollars on there favorite numbers, names and whoever the newspaper picks.

We are sort of saying the same thing....you are not gonna get very much new blood interested enough to put the effort into learning how to handicapp without getting them interested in the game in general. I bet that the majority of the people on here started off as small bettors
and spectators...catching the fever so to speak probably did not start off without some interest in the spectator aspect of the game...
