i'm not a math geek but betting for example 10 win bet and 10 worth of exactas with that horse with at least 1 box is better than place betting...

Get drunk and bet the horses you can't spell

**That Foreign Guy** · 06-16-11, 06:07 PM

~~Stay sober and bet on the horses you can't spell.~~

Edit - **** that, get drunk and bet on the horses you can't pronounce.

Bet on the horse that takes a dump first, he is lighter then.

This statement is incorrect as the track takeout for place betting is far lower than exactas.

Consistent and disciplined money management. Pick and choose your spots. Don't get too cocky after a big hit.

When I used to go to the track, there was this old guy that told me the same thing. If he saw a horse take a dump on the way to the gate, he'd bet that horse. He also bet any gray horse in a race. If he saw a gray horse take a dump, he knew it was a lock, it had to be a sign!

That really only works better for dog racing.

As someone who has successfully handicapped graded stakes races all over the world, I recommend SportsTrader for some interesting "left-field" ideas!

Don't invest time improving your handicapping at a sport with double digit vigs.

It's too hard to win against the takeout.

When you can't win, focus on shady angles such as minus pool abuse, rebate abuse, and manipulation of payouts at small tracks.

Don't bet a horse to win the race.

(Bet on a horse to lose the race, Lay the horse)

Anybody who would say this can't possibly make money gambling.

While its certainly possible to make money betting on horses, it is anything but easy.[/color]

**Tomahawk** · 06-18-11, 06:13 AM

I won 1 dollar yesterday by betting on a brown horse.

I think betting on brown horses is a good tactic to start with.

Horse Racing market is best. As long as you don't back horses to win

Make prerace trading or lay horses..

david, do you have a thread or website to follow/tail? heard from more than one person about u and obv saw what happened with the Belmont. thanks

In the past the takeout has been around 16-17% on the horses but with exchange wagering it has been cut to 2.4% to 5% with betmaker and betfair. It has been completely revolutionized in the past few years.

**arwar** · 06-19-11, 07:47 AM

longshot place bets - especially after a drought of lonshot wins.

**Punter4Life** · 06-19-11, 10:10 AM

Cheap horses don't win back to back races often.

Sorry, I'm afraid you can't. The only way to do is to have an account with Betdaq or Betfair. If there's other exchange books who accept US Clients, I don't know.

**Sawyer** · 06-19-11, 05:36 PM

Laying horses is way to go. Man, picking a winner is hard. In some races, there's 20+ horses. How you will pick the winner? Not easy..Not to mention, -usually- there's no value on a favourite. Even -200 favs lose sometimes.

Just look for overrated favs and you'll be fine. Not a bad month so far..

**thejrichshow85** · 06-19-11, 06:31 PM

i always just bet random numbers
