It just seems like a lot of money to put out to only get back those kind of odds.
2) What is the deepest you will go in a race? this weekend one of the guys on tvg hit the "all" button and got a 3-1 winner. Does it make sense to ever hit the all button?
3)ARe there certain tracks that you like to play more then others for these bets? I look at the payoffs in the drf simulcast and am amazed that some of the payoffs for some tracks with similar winners are a good bit lower then others.
4) What is the budget you have for these bets? I bet maybe 10-20 a race and will go to 50 if its a race that i really like a horse so i guess my handle for a day would be 150-200 maybe more on big days like KD, Sfoster. Im live in lville so feel more comfortable betting at CD.
Any help would be appreciated b/c i really like the tourny feel of the bets and ive read the book by Christ but feel that i dont have the feel for it.Also im bored tonight and would like to get some information as TC season is about to start.  |
Hello, WAC,
only you can decide what your cringe level is. if you feel
uncomfortable in swinging wide then put most of your prime bets on wps
exactas. after you make a hit take a small flyer on pk4 pk 6 that way you
might get lucky, on these high risk bets. unless you hit a life changing
pk6 in the long run you will lose at these if you are not weel bankrolled.
don't let the hype and payoffs fool you, there is one true science and
that is mathemactics. and it is stack against you. the betting clubs
with big money wait for us 2 buck bennys to drive it up then they
buy it. sdj/ky
