When do you stop for the day???

[whodey17]

horse racing is 24/7/365 - no such things as stopping. Maybe you have to pause.....

The worst type of bettor is the one that trys to handicap the races 5 minutes before each race. Cap the races the day before and pinpoint some key horses you like and manage your bets around those key horses.

Another thing is dont bet everything and anything you see. Focus on 1-2 tracks only. You dont have to bet every race on these tracks either. That $120 you spent could have been used on several pick three or pick 4 tickets
around Drilling For Oil.

if you are afraid to play horses you really like, you probably should stop betting. Set a budget and play with confidence.

stopping point for me is when all cash is gone, and the max 300 from the ATm has been exhausted

Eaj,
You can rip my style all you want, but I usually do pretty well. I've tried doing the night before handicapping, and it just doesn't work for me. For you to say there's only 1 style that works, you've obviously haven't met me lol.

With that being said, I try to give myself more than 5 minutes, but I won't dive into a race with more than 10. I will dive into a race with as little as 2 minutes to go as well. Here's why: In a wide open affair where you're deciding between many horses, YOU'RE FORCED TO MAKE A CHOICE AND NOT SECOND GUESS YOURSELF.

Now I will admit, there are times when I've looked over info I should've seen that would've helped me pick the right winner. When forced to make a choice, I've picked the wrong horse, but you can do that with anytime remining before post. I have a style that works, and it's just as well as yours.

1 last thing- I rarely play pick 3s, 4s, and 6s, so it's probably why my style works. I'm more of a WP, Exacta, and Tri bettor.

Seattle, that means you would be done after the first race at Monticello

I have capped the night before or hours in advance and have done well and lost my a$$. Yesterday, I just went out there and bought a stats sheet and put together exacta bets and hit 4/5 races capping on the fly. It can work both ways, you need a little luck 4 sure.

Amen to that. Whatever method works for the individual, more power to them. Both ways work well.
