If you can master these two things
I have been fortunate enough to have been corresponding with two
people who make thier living at the track.Both of them are not nickle and dime players and the two things I have noticed that each does is Know when to pass or play a race How to bet it All of this other stuff will not really help you to become successful unless you can master these two things. |

Jeff,
Very well said and absolutely true. Keep listening and absorbing and you may own CT Races. I have trouble in both of those areas at times and it keeps me from having any type of consistency. Contender selection and interpreting readouts (handicapping) is only a part of the overall puzzle. Best wishes. Jim |

Jim,
You hit the nail right on the head about people not discussing it much. I did see some screenshots from BLAM that looks like it would seem to help but imagine that thier is a big learning curve with that program. Jeff |

I do not get that same feeling from many other "name" speakers that I have heard over the years. Many are just theorists, not rooted in practical horse playing. Horse racing for some people in the industry is a way to earn a living while stroking their ego and showing off their intellect. Last edited by JimG; 12-16-2012 at 11:39 AM. |
