On the other hand, losing streaks will always happen and it becomes about limiting the number of wagers, as they can quickly cut into one's bankroll.

With so many tracks presently offering racing, it should be more about finding exceptional plays and hammering them, rather than spreading to make sure that I don't miss out where I feel I have an edge.

I would definitely agree with this...and I do it...I just have to learn to cover the "just in case" scenarios that will inevitably come up when I hammer my win bets (they're never on the favorite)...got a bad string of 2nd places going....
