Bankroll

That's the first mistake someone makes when thinking about gambling.

It doesn't seem like you have a lot of confidence at this point, so I would say start small.
Make your early mistakes with $2 win bets.
Then after you get a little better....increase the amount you bet.
Then, when you lose those races, just start shouting things like, "I handicapped it absolutely perfectly.....but then the horses screwed it up."
Then you're in.

all good stuff, my grandma still tells me about the time she went to the track with my dad. She said that he lost all his money and she won like $6.00. I think it is the best $6.00 she ever made the way she explains it.
