Alli, as you continue to compete with our group of handicappers, you will undoubtedly see that there are many different approaches to both of the contests. Some post early and return to edit their selections after scratches have been announced. Others wait to finalize their picks until close to the deadline, trying to factor in things like track conditions.

In the ROI contest you will notice even more variety in our approaches, from trying win bets on several longshots to placing the entire amount on a single solid pick to trying to master an exotic such as the superfecta or the pick 4. The beauty of this is that there is no right or wrong approach - it is a matter of which approach the individual horseplayer finds most rewarding. Observing how others structure their bets or trying different ones yourself are excellent ways to learn and improve one's game.
