Most handicapping contests boil down to DUMB LUCK as the organizers DICTATE not only the Race you MUST bet on, but they also limit your chance to wager the many ways offered or in what denomination.

What all those limitations DO, is level the playing field against the people who have gone the extra mile and KNOW the advantages at wagering on tracks where they have shown a long term positive ROI.

THEY did NOT reflect the reality of the game. Most don't even calculate the LOST wagers against the profits on the winning ones....Fantasy land.

Real players KNOW several tracks intimately and utilize that inside information gleaned by hours of research, innovation and sweat, to have an advantage. These contests neutralize those hard earned edges.

No wonder these handicapping winners rarely repeat. When luck is your partner in winning, it has a fickle way of not hanging around long.
