I don't mind losing a horse race wager as much as a sports wager. Its nice to be able to win or lose in 1:09. You lose, its quick and painless, not worrying about every tip of the ball or error. You win, its a nice rush and then a wait till the next race....I agree with Mike about chalk. I don't bet it. Usually I'll avoid the race, and or use the horse in a double or exacta. I'm a bombs away guy. Yesterday I was down a few hundred before the 5th at Churchill. Got the 10-1 home and ended up a nickel on the day. I don't mind firing at the value. You don't have to be right all the time at longshot odds. At chalk odds, you absolutely do.
