2007

Win bets minus $78 betting 90% of the time 1 horse per race. 3rd year in a row about breaking even.Reviewing my betting I see that I bet on way too many horses over 20 to 1 , and I rushed ( 5 minutes per race)my handicapping too many times. My good days I always did a lot of pre race handicapping at home before I went to the track.


In the past when I used to bet exactas , Trifectas etc. I always lost over a $1000 a year, after 15 plus years hitting my head against the wall doing this I finally quit all exotic betting.Now I pay no attention at all on what any exotic bet pays.

2008. Goals.

Learn the matchup method.
Get really good at assigning running stlyes to the horses.This is very important.
Set up guidelines as to which races should be avoided like the plague.
Only bet when I feel like I have a horse with a strong advantage.
Don't let the odds sway me.

Mike.
