i love betting well handicap first

go acoss the board (win-place-show)

for example


Horse 1 5.50 3.20 150

horse 2 2.10 150

horese 3 1.00

if u do win with the win place show bet u get all three numbers so u would get about 10 dolla

the numbers can change with thr horses odds

i hope this helps



what racetrack are u at?

im at saratoga race track right meow

I like to check out the horses pre race while they're getting ready, thenI normally pick the craziest ones. Got $85 last sunday on an exacta.

I don't bring any more than 100 grand to the track with me. When that's gone I leave. So honestly I just pick random number and names and see what happens

in french class we watched this oldschool 90s made for tv movie where this guy who just moved into a hotel (cause he got divorced) got newspaper every day FROM A CAT and the paper is for THE NEXT DAY!

so he made like 15k in like an hour at the track, but that wasnt really a significant part in the plot line

2 rules to always go by for betting

1. never pick a grey to win
2. if you see a horse take a shit in pre race, bet all your money on him to win.




but boxing bets is always good, i do trifectas usually, and look at the jockey, i go to a small track so you know the jockey's styles and if they are good in the position they start in. as well as the horses last times and size of track it was on and who was running them, that panflet is your best friend.
