Just coming out of the worst three months I've ever had. My suggestion is to change something. Maybe it's the way you wager, the track you play, or even the capping style. Usually when I go south I'm pushing to win more instead of picking good solid horses.

Hope this helps for what it's worth.

I'm in the biggest Funk of my Betting career. Half of the problem is money management the other half is just the wrong plays. I teach school so most of my play is limited to Fri-Sun..that's part of the problem. I'm hoping that Saratoga will be real profitable. All I can say is maybe take a short breather...I plan on taking a freshening until Belmont Day.

Has your handicapping has been successful in the past? If so then don't change anything. Trust what you have been winning with. Don't make changes and start chasing bad bets to get even.

Last year I had 21 races that I didn't cash a ticket in Las Vagas. Almost all of them were in the race till the wire. Three weeks later most of them won their next start and at good prices. Thor's Echo and Round Pond were 2 of them in the breeders cup.

The quickest way to end this to make a
ALL< ALL<ALL bet . You will cash but your money management will need work on it now.

I've been struggling greatly lately. I had a good run last fall and then it tailed off after the Breeders' Cup.

My work hours have not left me much time to play the races (working Wednesday-Sunday), so I've taken to coming home after work and handicapping races whose results I don't know yet and I've done pretty well handicapping those races.

So my confidence is back, though we'll see how it goes once I actually start playing again!
