I agree 100%.
There are many good books out there that are a great introduction to horse racing that teach you winning factors and angles that trainers use to prepare horses that are important to help you to become a winning selector. If you cannot pick winners you are dead in this game.
Then there are books written that in my opinion are useless. The authors come up with useless ideas and different formula’s that sound good but just confuse the issues. One is “ Optimal Betting.”
If I handicap a 10 horse race and I find a stick out going off at 4-1 I’m supposed to complicate matters by wondering what are his true chances of winning?
