Can you really make money in this game ?

Also, don't drink. Consistently beating 60% of the handicappers sounds like a minor challenge, but many of those people are showing up at the track/OTB early in the afternoon, and they start drinking early. This is a near daily event for many of these people, and they generally are addicted to gambling and playing impaired. They are not playing with 'smart' money.



If I'm going with my "playing smart" plays, but then decide to hang around and play some fun "action" plays just because I don't get to go the the track or OTB that often, I just reduce my bets for the "action" plays.

And I drink on those reduced bet "action" plays. But don't add much to the pools.

I will say I have caught many a nice tri or super on an alcohol induced $36 to $60 "action" play when I had the "house's $$."

Friends don't let friends drink and bet bigger than they should.
