Handicapping Network And Gambling
Handicapping is cyclical
in nature. The same set-ups and opportunities present
themselves over and over again. If you can learn from
your handicapping
successes and failures, and use those experiences to
evaluate what is in front of you at the racetrack today,
you will have a much greater chance of profit. One can
start with breaking Through the Starting Gate. Horses
that break through the starting gate before a race
expend a lot of energy. So much so, they usually race
very poorly. If a horse that breaks through the gate
figures prominently in the wagering it is an ideal time
to immediately step up and bet against that runner. You
have to be alert because you’ll probably have only
thirty seconds or so to secure a wager. But this has
proven to be an exceedingly strong angle. Secondly, one
can go for low Percentage Jockeys and Trainers. Only bet
jockeys and trainers to win that visit the winner’s
circle on a regular basis. It is more likely that a good
jockey or trainer will turn around a poor horse, than a
good horse will benefit from a negative jockey or
trainer switch.
More of the handicapping of the gambling
People like to go for dead On the Tote Board. Horses
that are favored in the doubles or pick-three wagers,
but open up at long odds on the tote board are usually
bad investments. The public will naturally knock down
the price before the wagering is over, but don’t be
suckered in on these runners. Adding spice to it people
start betting long shots to Win and Show. If one likes a
long shot to win, then you like that horse to show as
well. So why not back up your win bet with a few bucks
in the show pool.
Conclusion
Remember, most public handicappers send in their
selections 24 to 48 hours in advance. They don’t have
the advantage of seeing the weather or the track-bias.
Players must learn to take that into consideration when
looking at the choices of a favorite handicapper.
Players should only use the all button when they are
dead set against the favorite in a race. There should
also be a few long shots in the race to support its use,
and not a collection of 6-1 and 7-1 runners. Remember,
using the all button can become very expensive when
attacking the pick-four or pick-six. So be judicious
with it.
