Steven Crist's New Book

[Pointg5]

I bought this book and I reccomend it, it's not a handicapping book, but a betting book (like it says), how to take advantage of the exotic pools. After reading the book and looking back at alot of the betting mistakes I have made, I think it's more than worth the price. I like how he seperates his horses into A,B,C and X for pik 3's and pik 4's. I would play all of those horses equally and that's just stupid, because while I thought some of the C horses could win, I didn't think they had the same chance as an A horse, I took it a step further, after seperating the horses A,B,C,X I would rank the races in that same manner, so that I would take the C races deeper than an A race. I used this technique last Thursday in the Pik 4 with Minister's Bid. I ranked the first race as an A race, the second race as a C race, the 3rd race as an A+(Minister Bid single) and the 4th race a B race. I played a $2 ticket using all of my A horses for all 4 legs, then I played other tickets keying my A races and going to the C horses in the 2nd race and B horses in the 4th race, the 2nd race came in with a C horse(15-1) and the rest were all A's, I hit it and it paid $674 for a $1, if I would have played it my old, that ticket would have cost twice as much as what I played. It's not going to workout perfectly like this, I know that and maybe I was lucky, but I felt I played the races correctly, evaluated the races correctly and was rewarded with a nice ticket, considering the odds 3-1,15-1,3/5,4-1.
