My best advice is to be an educated consumer. Look for contests with small or no takeout, good location, and prize money. These contests are always worth playing. The Breeder's Cup, Wynn, anything run by NYRA or Keeneland all fit this bill.
Avoid contests with huge takeout and no prize money other than an NHC spot. These are a bad proposition over time.

Very true. I've played in the NHC and BCBC. No comparison, the BCBC is superior. Great contest.
