I have like a $100 a month bankroll to blow and do a great job doing it. I mostly play exactas, some doubles, and win and place. I use brisnet pp's which I like, but I'm the problem. Besides the occasional big hit, there are just too many gaps between wins.

I'm thinking of just betting to win and cutting down on the races I bet. I don't know why I must bet every race but usually do.

Any suggestions?

betting is a straight list of averages12/1 ,capping will reduce the odds from 12/1 to around 6/1, if you are betting alot of races the odds against you will blow out 3 races @ 12/1 ... 36/3 ..you will definatelety lose even if one of your horses comes in because you have so many bets you will lose.

I find the best way is to reduce your bets pick a track you like & bet on 1 race in that field ie your back to 6/1 odds i also buy a tin & when i go to bet i put half of what i was going to bet into the tin & if i have a win half goes into the tin that way even if you have a **** day aleast you still have money for when you go on holiday

Punting should be fun if it's not then the old rule kicks in stop doing it & find something that is
