grab some sack..a bettors opinion

[AeWingnut]

"you can beat a race but you can't beat the races."

I am an ok handicapper and a terrible bettor.

I can get 2 out of 3 on just about every bet there is. I get beat by 1 horse 99% of the time. The last time I was a winner was the Breeder's Cup.

The biggest bet I've made on a horse race was a $300 exacta. Didn't box it and should have.

After a few beats like that I quit loading up and just throw it around like chicken feed and hope the longest part gets there just so I can play the whole day and make it out of the OTB with my life.

I know there are people that only talk about winning and don't say anything about losing.

The most successful bettors I know fall in two categories. The everything on one horse bettor. Win or lose they are in and out the door on 1 play. The other kind are the pick 3, pick 4 and the playable pick 6 bettors. It takes a big bankroll but when they hit, it's tax form city.
I play exactas, trifectas, Superfectas and only bet WPS on horses that are 20-1 or better. I've had to sign a tax form on every wager except the pick 4 and pick 6... Mainly because I've never hit one.

Guess I should play Hooves picks
too late
