If you want action and love the game try betting small increments to fine tune your craft. Try an online book like 5 dimes(25 cent minimums in racebook) and have some fun. Losing $900 over 34 races will sour you real fast to the great sport of horse racing.Comment -
don't really like the game at all was just at woodbine and i have a gambling addiction =).
But i notice the vig takeout whatever u call it is pretty huge and for a recreational bettor its seems next to impossible to turn a profit in long haul just my opinion i don't know enough though to say its impossible.Comment -
"takeouts" help pay the employees of the track and keeps the lights on. these things i understand , completely
now if there's a casino on the grounds or associated with the track you're playing i absolutely deteste/despise the takeout. with all the loot the casino's take in then turn around and give a % to the purse allocation there is no reason on earth they need to "takeout" twenty something percent of a pool.
take john230's advice and scale back your wagers till you get a feel for what you like (exotics vs wps bets vs pick 3's and 4's etc...)
to "churn" 900 clams in a day is ok and you might reap some cool rewards wagering that kinda dough but "losing" 9 bills in a day would be a tough pill to swallow.

don't get me started with baseball im down over 10k in baseball this sesason.
i think my short go at betting ponies is done. Too much work involved if i were to take it serious and i can't see myself making such a good profit.
I make my most money in nba looks like i might just have to take the year off.Comment -
you know what they say: ya gotta stick with what works for you.
i couldnt pick a winner in nba if my life depended on it
baseball last year was a $ maker for me (i LOVE betting hockey) but ive since swore off sports betting since the flyers/panthers game in dec last year. however, if the phils win the series i will have "risen from the flames" yet again. (nhl season bets cashed offshore after i swore off sports betting so i tried my hand at the ponies for a bit then dropped the balance on my Phils to win it all-at what sports book i could not tell you as ive had quite a few. ill worry about that after the parade down broad street
)
but anyhow:
if ya ever wanna go blow a huno or so on horses be sure to check in here first. usually some good tipsters posting here

try this. make all your picks in sports (except ponies)... then bet the opposite side. i bet you will winComment -
I bet at parx in philly. They have a 17% take. Most times I break even betting 5-10per race of a mix of wps and exotics. With a 17% take im content with a day at the track.Comment -
as they say the race of champions..Comment -
takeout by track, parx is brutal in takes turfnsport, agreedComment -
nice postComment -
Hey those tickets look like mine somedays... its a grind. To make a profit in the ponies ... is by watching watchin watching races. Don't just follow your horse , look at what other horses are doing , getting brutal trip , got checked several times stopping his momentum etc then make a note of them and bet them down the road if they get a race that looks easier.
And when you making tickets make them make sense . I see so many people play just random shit like 1,5,8/1,4,6,11/1,3,4,5,9 the horses you like have to be sequenced somehow ... but i'm the king of 3/4 pk 4sComment
