Default How many?

How many races in a row can a person miss before it stops being a bad streak and starts being time to realize that you just suck at capping races?

I may be aproaching that line, but luckily I rarely bet very much $$.

Default Heaviest $2 in racing

I realy like the action and it seems like the more I know the less I cash tickets. When I first started the state wanted me to file quarterly...

I've had diminishing returns for the last 10 years.

What I have been doing is I handicap all the races but only bet the ones that are in double figures. Just for peace of mind all 20-1 and higher horses get bet flat.

I'll just watch a race that I think the 6/5 is a mortal lock. (single him in the pick 3 if I see a wide open race is part of it)

I'm always getting 2 of 3 on my pick 3's, eactas and trifectas. Just enough to make me believe I know what I am doing but no enough to keep me betting.

It seems like inquiries always go against you when you're down on your luck.

The last race at Delmar I had a trifecta 5-10-1.

It was like 1 of 3 races I hit all day but it was going to get me well. After they crossed the line Trevor says, "There has been a objection against the 2nd place finisher" I heard objection and thought, "whoop dee doo" objections never carry any weight.

BrisBet switched to Australian race replays so I never saw the infraction but when I went to Equibase later last night they took him and my money down.

I could never do it but maybe you could try taking every horse you like and throw him out

Sorta like the scene in Let it Ride when Dryfuss asks everyone what the like so he can bet the one that no one likes.

Good luck

Maybe Saratoga will change things up for you

I hope it does for me
