For three days I did not win a race, then the last day at Bellmont I bet a dollar on 1,4 with 3 in the 8 th & 9 th double. What am I doing wrong. Handicaping is not the way to always win big, if it were everybody would win. Sometimes a name or number will hit me and betting to place sometimes pays more and doubles my chances. I play 3251 superfectas because I want to win a BMW or two door Rolls Royce?

  1. 5 and 8 must be better


  2. my dad started taking me to the track before i was old enough to go on, handicapping is the way to win big, you have to learn to read the programs and understand them, if your picking random numbers and hoping for a huge pay-out you might as well buy lottery tickets

  3. Just do not bet the rent money. .

    If you are expecting to win big, I would suggest taking handicapping lessons.

    Fore me parimutuel betting is fun. I do not expect to retire in my winnings.

  4. Try trifecta boxes with a wheel horse. $1.00 bet

    1 with 2,3,4 with 2,3,4 = $6.00

    2,3,4 with 1 with2,3,4 = $6.00

    $12.00 total

    All you need is for 1 to come in 1st or second and 2,3, or 4 can come in 1st 2nd or third

    mix it up and cash a ticket

  5. Don't know about your numbers deal with horses. Knew this 'ol gal who claimed she made a bundle pickin numbers on dogs..Ya.. when I saw her at the track she was borrowing money.. Get to know  HORSES.. TRAINERS.. JOCKEYS..

       What worked for me was to take the days form.. mark the order of finish...1  2  3  ect  And do your homework.. Picking horses with any consistency is a lot of work..  And I'm sure you have heard it before..   You can beat a race... But you can't beat the races..

                                                             Good Luk..

  6. If thats how you pick your horses, you might as well just head to the casino and play at the dice tables, your chances of winning are greater.

  7. race 10 Saturday at  Calder # 8 horse is a lock to win.

  8. favourites average about 28% in winning races,so when taking trifectas take the first 4 or 5 top favourites and take it from there, picking solely on numbers is chasing money you have already lost and probably will lose again.remember little fish are sweet

  9. 7 and 5 an also 69

  10. yeah ive been on a loosing streak 2. i lost 500$ in 10 mins last week on roulette. lucky i was up 800 so i still had 200$ profit. still pissed me off.

  11. Try betting on a horse that has a jockey on its back.
