Why I like the horses

[pokernut9999]

Played a daily double in the 2nd and 3rd races at Hollywood.

Took the top 2 choices in each race , in both races the 2nd ML choice won and the DD payed $54.00.


Heck of a payout for two 2nd choices in small fields.


$20 bet returned $135

takeout rates are 15 - 30% of the pool. Fun to bet on but keep the bets small and have fun with it

[3PtShooter]

just bet the jockey

If you pick your spots and fix your odds you can make a profit in horses .... you have to avoid any of those "i'll just put a small bet on this race for entertainment" bets ... my last 12 bets in the SBR racebook have given me 10 winners. Sure - most long odds on ... but a 500 point profit in the past couple of weeks does not hurt

Without inside info, we all lose on horses eventually!

70%-80% of all Thoroughbred races are won by one of the top 4 post time favorites. Look it up. Yesterday the 4th fav in aqueducts 9th race paid 51.00 to win. If you are looking for the winner, you only need to look at the top 4 betting choices. You are just waisting time looking at other horses unless your looking to see who will be 2nd and 3rd. I never get destroyed. I lose but never bad. Any track, any day, 7-8 out of 10 races will be won by one of the top 4 betting choices. If you are looking for a longshot to win you are waisting your time unless its one of the top 4 like in aqueducts 9th yesterday.

[Richkas]

also it helps because you are handicapping a 4 horse race. You can spend more time looking at just 4 horses. Trying to look at 10 horses is when u get burried. Go to drf and look at the charts and you will be amazed.

I would let Richie manage my horse betting $$$

I love the ponies but the takeout is too much. So when you win you don't receive as much as you should. Its possible to score at the races but then Uncle Sam wants his share. Even inside information doesn't get to the wire first but its the best angle I've experienced for beating the races. I've had winning days and winning meets but overall I would have been better off if I never placed a bet on a horse race in my life.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

horses too easy.

[MadTiger]

If you are looking for the winner, you only need to look at the top 4 betting choices.

Adding to this, the top favorite only wins about 33% of the time. Shit, that means I should be putting quite a bit of focus on the second and third favorites, with a bit on the fourth.

[Swinging Johnson]

Great ****in' post JJ! So true.

yes

[KC]

Very tough to beat the takeout at most tracks
5D race book is great they add 10% to win bets

[Skidcom]

Hard to make a living playing exotics. Almost impossible with the rake actually. Fun sport to watch though. Unless you are playing it straight it is pretty much a lottery. Better odds than scratch tickets though

[INVEGA MAN]

i will be going to off track on saturday. opens up at 7am. it should be a nice payoff in the derby with the favorite scratched. i hit for a pk4 for 2000 points and $2000 2 months ago. love it

[jjgold]

If you spot bet (approx 1-5 plays per week) it is possible to have a winning year as long as they are straight win bets, the problem is we start betting all the races just to have action and we get buried. The second way is just follow a circuit like NY for example and only bet plays you really like at that track.

Exchange betting is probably the future of horse racing, although tracks are just afraid of the words

[tblues2005]

I am pretty good on the horses. I know some really good handicappers and that is why. You just have to follow it and pay attention to the horses that have run. I follow a local track here and So. California for the most part.

Tracks like Keeneland,Churchill,Gulfstream,Fairgroun ds,Oaklawn,Aqueduct,Belmont,Saratoga make boookooo bucks. Huge handles.
