BOL gave me a free $25 to bet horses, but I don't know jack- shit about horse betting.

if you don't have qualms against betting favorites MUCH STRONGER in the 8th race at BELMONT is pretty much of a stickout in this spot. only horse to have a win over the belmont strip at the distance with this group. should take the lead and go all the way to the wire in front of this weak field.

If it's freeplay you don't wanna waste it on place n show bets cuz it doesn't pay shit. Go for a payout with it.
Bet it to win on something at least 4-1 or better.
Konck is the king of running up freeplays.
Seen him run $50 freeplays into thousands numerous times.

yes, make it a WIN bet and double your 25.00 free play. you could wheel the late double which would involve the 9th race in order to get a bigger payout if a longshot happens to win the 9th, but for a novice stick to the 8th race WIN pool.

Best advice for horses other than a free bet is not to bet

why is that JJ? more fun to get into a race card than watch some kid who was in high school last year fumble away your college football bet after watching for 3 hours. not knocking sports betting but horses (if you have a nominal amount of mathematical ability) can offer a much higher payoff for a much smaller investment. i know you had your head handed to you at bayonne otb when it opened in your neighborhood but no reason to discount it as a money making opportunity.

Unus take outs too high
Bad tracks
Bad horses
Fixing meaning horses not trying certain days for only insiders to gain an edge

Much better chance at sports vs horse racing
$200 bankroll is lost 9 out of every 10' times with horses and fast
Sports can last a while

I just woke up but I'm guessing by this thread that horse didn't win.
Did he even place in the race?

yes, the horse got beat by a 25-1 shot..late double paid 717.00 for a 2.00 bet. tried to give the guy a lead pipe cinch. of course there is no such thing. the only sure bet in gambling is to fade your buddy brock landers. you can't go wrong there.l but seriously JJ bad horses, bad tracks, makes no sense. certainly belmont isn't a bad track, and 35,000 claimers aren't bad horses. still a bad day at the track is still better than a good day anywhere else.
