seems your BEST shot at this hard game is to pool pick, watching the pools is more important than handicapping, idiots dumping money on long shots that should not win, comparing quin/ex pools ect.... $1 quin at aussie track 1,2 will pay $350 $1 excacta will pay $120 you spending $1 for a bet instead of $2 to box the exacta and the winner will get 3x the profit for half the wager, pool watching is a must, few weeks ago just sat and pool watched for a place bet found a horse with only $2 staked in pool on a place bet, pool had few hundred bucks nothing great but i threw $3 on him to place bam $40 to place, $60 payout for a $3 bet or 20-1, more and more I have found pool watching a strong asset and don't even go to the track because i can sit on youbet.com and see exactrly whats being bet and how the pools are playing out
