The betting angle has changed drasticaaly since the video replays. Any fool can watch a race 100 times from 5 different angles etc. Another negative thing is that there is simply to much information available to players.

I rarely bet more than 50 - 75 races a year and do not play exotics. You want to make a lot of money (this is RELATIVE) invest.

I no longer am at the track 24/7 so to play many races is fruitless. When I was a full time horse player, and claiming horses, I could look at a condition book and tell you 80% of the horses that would be entered in a given race a week before the race. Not so today.

I am quite sure that with PATIENCE and MONEY MANAGEMENT you would have no problem recouping your losses since Alabamba Day.

There simply is no HURRY. REMEMBER, they play the National Anthem every day.

Oh, I didn't say I was losing for the year. Had a couple Pick-6s in April ( one small and one OK ) and made my biggest single race score on, you guessed it, a Bobby Frankel horse ( Aristocrat ).
