    I need a good strategy for this week!!!
    I don't know anything about horse racing. I need to bet 1k and I'd like to get as much of it back. I don't need to make a profit, so what's the best way to where it's super uber conservative. Should I bet every race and take the favorite? Or should I bet one race and somehow bet every horse and just lose to the juice/vig? So yea.... I need to put a full $1,000 down and I don't know what I'm doing lol, so if I can get some help that would be great. I don't want to take shots. I need the best way to minimize losses. Thanks.

      Why do you need to wager 1K if you know nothing about horses? But to answer your ?, I would place a couple of $500 wagers or four $250 wagers on heavy favorites to show. Might return $2.10 on a $2.00 wager, but that is the safest way to go.

                Yea, I know.... I'm just kidding on a lock, but looking to see what you guys like.

                I'm just looking for a good strat to where I can get my money back. Something super conservative. I don't mind taking a small loss.

                  The obvious answer is to bet heavy favorites to show.At Saratoga most will probably be Pletchers.

                        find a race with a small field and only one clear favorite and bet to show.

                              That's what happened to that damn "Unlimited Budget" today. Took him to show and of course doesn't. Damn Horse racing..... Even if you win it's shit. Horse racing sucks.

                              $200 gone, Gonna probably lose another $200 on that "Uno Duo" for tomorrow.

                              All my rent is gonna go bye bye LOL. I love losing

                                  Lol hahaha I'm just kidding. I wouldn't put my rent money on Horses. I don't ever actually bet. Just lost some today, all good though

                                  My bad didn't mean to vent too much.

                                    Why did you take Unlimited Budget and not Authenticity?

                                    Uno Duo is almost certain to finish ITM as was Authenticity...Peace Preserver is a little more risky because of the style.She like to come from way off the pace so she needs an honest pace and its a good field.

                                      Unlimited Budget at 2-1 wasn't the Morning Line Favorite . if you had bet the 9-5 ML Fav, Princess of Sylmar instead, you would have turned that 200 into 260.

                                      listen to mikemca, he knows horses. I like your chances with Uno Duo today. GL!

                                            Thanks Mikemka. You sound like you know your stuff.

                                            Yea, I missed the race today. I played cards online 'till 6 a.m. and just woke up. Tried to get it in last night, but wasn't open.

                                            That Saratoga track is east coast so they start early.

                                            Anyways.... Thanks everybody.

                                              I need to wager another $300 today and many of the Saratoga races are finished. I still have Del Mar too though...


                                              Any pointers?!
