#9 - Handicapping When You are Stressed Out or Tired
In order to be a consistent winner and make solid handicapping decisions, you must remain focused and relaxed. You will undoubtedly be able to make better decisions when you have eliminated stress and are well rested.
Professional horse handicappers always have a plan of action which includes to stay away the races, when they are operating under a great deal of stress.
Winning consistently at horse handicapping is tough, don't complicate it by wagering when you have other things in your life going on.
If your head is not clear of these distractions, you are setting yourself up for failure. You will not have a clear head to make adjustments after your initial selections for such things as changing track conditions, late scratches, and trends for a track on any given day.
