Value betting is my style. And for it, I've probably lost a lot of $$$ not betting favorites enough, or including them the right way. But it is a patience game- You have to wait, and dump money to find those winning bets. But when you hit them, YOU HIT BIG! It's the way it goes. The strategy is not for everyone, but if you have the pateince to stick with it, I'm sure you'll hit some good ones. Because you're a good enough 'capper to find some diamonds in the rough. Just go with what you're comfortable with, and stick with it. If you have the patience, your good handicapping will shine through in the long-run. One suggestion though: And when I suggest this, I'll say that I still struggle with this. If the race looks very chalky, pass on betting it, unless you thhink it's easy $$$. But easy money is almost non-existant in this game. So if you don't see any value, DON'T BET IT. I have trouble with this myself, but I'm getting better.

cmorioles says he thinks this justindew guy needs to get over himself. cmorioles also thinks everyone is playing "value" in one form or another. He says if you love a horse and don't bet him because the horse is 2 to 5, but would play him at 10 to 1, there must be a line in there somewhere that changes the decision. He believes this is true even if you don't know exactly what the number is ahead of time. cmorioles says it is much better on a person mentally to know the number ahead of time. cmorioles is not very smart, however.

I can't offer the wisdom of the many of the previous replies as surely some of the respondents have never endured a prolonged losing streak. I, however, have.
If you think your handicapping is at a decent or better level (meaning you are not seeing things that just are not there like overrating trouble and/or convincing yourself that an 8-1 is the most likely winner, etc...) and if you are betting for value (which I interpret as single race win and vertical exotic betting), you should probably move to the multi-race wagers and bet wider. In other words, if you are currrently wagering to hit a trifecta for a $5 unit wager, start wagering DDs and P3s for a lesser unit amount. Also if you are compelled to bet a single race exotic it still makes sense to go wider for lower unit wagers. And, since you are in a prolonged downward trend, it certainly helps to decrease your total wagering $$ by choice. Deeper and cheaper is the key. If that doesn't work, take a few weeks off. There are other things. Go see Eastern Promises before it leaves theaters. If you're in South Florida, I highly recommend the Dolphin Swim at the Seaquarium.
