'Horseplayers' on ESQ TV -- Debuts 1/21, 10p ET

[Benny]

Monmouth Park and New Jersey horsemen are on to something big. Really big. If things go as planned this spring, the 2014 New Jersey Thoroughbred horse racing season could catapult the venerable New Jersey track into the annals of American horse racing history.

The track plans to offer a revolutionary form of wagering of European origin that may change the face of horse racing in the United States forever. It’s called exchange wagering and it is termed by professional horseplayer Christian Hellmers as nothing less than “euphoric.”

Hellmers can be taken more seriously
when he doesn't wear that stupid headband

His record alone should make you take him seriously. He is different California Metaphysical type guy but we all have our quirks.

Yeah, I know.

Any chance that metaphysical stuff is a put-on? I would think he would lean more on the number crunching side of what he does than "checking in with his subconscious"...

Different strokes for different folks.

This is the first step to you becoming a sharper horseplayer...

Betting is not just risking money, it's you putting your mind to the test of Truth.

Here are 3 concepts to consider...

Treat your betting mindset as if you are an Olympic athlete

* Be willing to be great and make sacrifices to win (ie working hard)

* Take the little details seriously and examine every horse carefully, inside and out, turn the race over in your mind several times to become one with it ;-)

* Limit distractions from noise to people to alcohol to false prophets

* Develop a routine of best practices that work based on your preferences to keep you at your highest focused self ie listening to music, drinking water, tracking your decisions

Be prepared far in advance

* Do not wait until the day of the races to begin your analysis

* Analyze and take notes in a way that you can revisit at a later time for post mordum

* Increase concentration by eating well the night before and the day, blue green algae, vegetables, foods high in Omega 3/6 will increase brain function, plus liquid B vitamins

* Map out your betting strategy and scenarios hours before each race

* Hire someone to help you manage your betting software if you don't know how to write code

* Study the patterns that lead to your highest ROI

Accurately translate and express your brain on paper

* Ascertain the probabilities of the horses you intend to wager upon and to bet against

* Locate your key calls in terms of A, B, C, and D in each race

* Based on your expected value of a race, assess whether to bet or pass; if the value is average, then consider saving your bet for a more lucrative opportunity

* Determine the best way to distribute your mindset on paper ie 50% on A bet call in a race, 25% on B call in a race, 20% on C call in a race, 10% of betting dollars on a D call in a race

* Set your targeted payouts in advance based on your bankroll and wager to hit your number OR bet based on using the Kelly equation IF you can accurately predict your probabilities

* In a tournament, bet as if your life depends on it and swing for the fences on your strongest opinion with the greatest value!

* Smile and give thanks after you win or lose to allow yourself to be in harmony with the moment!

Bless up,

Christian

Sounds like a lot of smart stuff to me.

Underestimating Christian Hellmers because you think he's a little goofy is a mistake. We're all a little goofy. Few of us are as smart and knowledgeable as he is.

[Stickhorse]

Totally agree Andy!

The guy doesn't have his own website and spot on Horseplayers because he is a no talent.

I find it funny people can't get past the headband. My impression is he comes to the track and a contest fully prepared.

This is fantastic stuff.

[Alabama Stakes]

never smoked the Blue green Algae, wonder if its as good as the blueberry diesel ? Funny last night when Larry David's sidekick bet on the 7 hoss, who wired at a good price. Before the race he said he was a closer, meanwhile that 23 year old newbie was convinced the 9 hoss was lone speed and looked ill when the 7 hoss made the lead. I think we all know that feeling.

I don't think it is a put on but I agree with you that it factors zero in his handicapping. Makes for good TV though.
