John -
I could suggest, very simply, do this:
Take $50.00 and bet 10% on your first race - $3 on the low odds horse and $2 on the high odds horse. Play 20 races using the 10% of bank. Keep good and honest records. After 20 races you will have enough information to tell you where you stand.
If you have doubled your bank to $100, you are as good as the average Sartin player. Keep going till you reach your comfort level, take a profit of say half the bank, then start with that half amount and double that.
If you finish the 20 races with between $50 and $100, you are in positive territory. Keep going concentrating on contenders (and pacelines). Read Huey's article in Follow Up #2 to get the bet sizes figured properly as your money grows.
If you finish 20 races and have, say, less than $35.00, you may want to seek additional help on contenders and pacelines.
Keeping a 20 race cycle can be very hard when things are not going well, but it is key. Even painful, trust me. But the other side of the coin is that once you put together a winning cycle and you see the money grow, you can go back and see your documented success.
Best regards,
Chuck
