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

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.
