Needless to say, I was banging my head against the wall quite often.

I finally have worked hard on structuring sound exotic tickets. It's has been difficult for me to change my game as such, but I know in the long run this is the way to go when I find these types of longshots.

Longshots on top takes guts, but that leads you to the massive scores. One guy who plays out of Chicago is a solid handicapper, who finds longshots all the time. But where he really excels, is sticking with those convictions and hammering the horse. Not necessarily with just a win bet, but singling the horse in the P3 or P6... the true separator mentality (granted, singling an 8-1 would probably fall into this category, I'm not saying just 20-1's). Right now, I don't think I have the guts to single my longshots.

Takes guts, and skill...
