Two Horse Win Betting

[Bob Cochran]

Referring to your note about seconds and thirds, I had a similar experience
years ago at SP-PK. I was in 5 photo finishes out of a 9 race card and lost
all of them. None of my horses were chalk, thank goodness i wagered WIN-PLACE. I didn't lose any money, but my underwear was wringing wet LOL

I felt like i had worked 2 (8) hr shifts. It's rough.! Those photos can be button poppers. LOL

2 Horse win betting not only is it betting against yourself but it will cause you to over handicap a race. Often the winner will be your first choice it is only then thru the practice of trying to find your second choice ( expecially if you seek a long price horse ) that you will over handicap a race and bet against your top choice, this will sub consciously put some doubt in your mind against your first analysis of the race.You will lose some of your confidence and then will not Hammer your first choice like you should and thus will win less $.

This 2 horse win betting has cost me more money than betting exotics.

Live and learn.

With One horse win betting you can bet almost all your horse races Win / Place.

I do this for All horses over 5-1 , often they pay $6. plus to place. A 12 -1 horse with no heavy favorite will pay $ 8 to $ 10 to place( depending on field size ) which is more money than some people get on the winner. Also many times the PLACE POOL is IGNORED.

Bob,Being in Pirco what is your opinion of The Match Up.By listening to some of the old seminar tapes it seemed like only The Hat could do it without using a computer program.I have been reading some of Ray Taulbot's material from the 1950's and it seems to me most of The Match Up concept was taken from him.Jeff

The Match Up is basic handicapping procedure. Jim spoke on it the most
because he was the BEST there was using it, without a computer.

He also stated on many occasions that he passed some races due to the fact that there were too many variables to make an educated opinion in a given race. In my opinion, a good track profile will get you about one third of a nine race card. The Match Up could probably be applied to 4 of the
remaining 6 successfully.
