Part III

Continued from Part II:

Also as an intelligent, logical thinking person, wouldn't it make sense that the horse race handicappers that ARE doing their homework and know EVERY trend of EVERY racetrack would have an advantage on the ones that don't?

And would it also not make sense that the professional horse race handicapper would have a decided advantage over the ones who do this for recreation purposes or only a couple of times a year?

Don't get me wrong: we absolutely need the "occasional" weekend warrior player and I will do my best to help anyone that asks for it, but the REALITY is that these types of players put tens of thousands of "dead" (unlikely to win) dollars in the wagering pools everyday whether it be .50 beer night at the track or the Kentucky Derby.

Do you think that the professional horse race handicapper like myself aren't feasting on these types of players?

This is the sheer definition of the small "fishes" swimming into the shark tank. But the good news is that these folks are doing this for entertainment, so if those of us who work in the business do our jobs and make it enjoyable for them, they will come back and hopefully often.

So the next time that someone tells you (or you read it online) that no one is beating this game, smile to yourself and say to yourself "I'm GLAD they think that way".

If you are so inclined, set out to learn my principles and make those folks WRONG!!!

Part II

Continued from Part I:

Of course many of us would counter the smaller "rake" theory with the fact that many more people percentage wise know how to play poker than horse racing so that sort of makes up for the 2/1 disparage in take-out doesn't it?

I have said it for 30 years and I will do so until the day I die: Just because many people can't beat horse racing (and never will) doesn't mean you and I can't.

The simple reason that the majority of the 98% that lose at this sport is simple: They don't PREPARE, and education is the first step in the preparation process.

I can assure you that it is hard work, as I do it everyday, but I am paid handsomely for my efforts and get paid for something that I absolutely LOVE to do. How many people can HONESTLY say that?

It just never ceases to amaze me how intelligent people that understand that the pari-mutuel system of wagering on horse racing is player vs. player could ever surmise logically that SOMEONE isn't beating the other players the majority of the time.

No one is going to hand you any money in this sport, you have to earn it. But when you do earn it, it is very satisfying and rewarding.

Horse Race Handicapping College Perspective from the Master


[ 3 Part Horse Race Handicapping Perspective ]

Part I

I have been reading the usual "stuff" on the horse racing message boards lately about how systems and "touts" don't work and that half of the 2% of all people who win longterm on horse racing (the 2% number being a figure that we DO agree on) do so because they make their money by selling their own products.

Although I totally agree that most if not all of the so called "systems" have many flaws and that many "touts" (folks who select horses for their customers) do so simply to supplement their income, there is a huge difference between them and those of us who attempt to educate people on how to handicap horse racing and wager properly.

In fact, my spot play results are posted in the members area of the Horse Race Handicapping College site for our members to look back many months and see that not only do we consistently offer strong price plays for our customers, but instead of just throwing them a "fish", we always welcome the opportunity to "teach them how to fish" as well, and to learn the concepts similar to "know when to hold'em and know when to fold'em" like poker.

I am committed to giving back to people what was so patiently given to me in the late 1970's and that is the tools needed for beating this "game" on a longterm, CONSISTENT basis.

How can anyone think that a game in which the outcome is determined by player against player not be a beatable one?

People acknowledge every day that there are professional poker players who win on a consistent basis by beating the other players, and even though the house rake in poker is smaller than horse racing, it is the EXACT same concept!

Horse Race Handicapping College - Horse Race Handicapping and the Difficulty of the Pick 6

Kentucky Derby Countdown:
44 Days Until May 3rd and the 134th Kentucky Derby

Horse Race Handicapping and the Difficulty of the Pick 6

OZONE PARK, N.Y. -- For those who missed out on Aqueduct's million-dollar pick-six pool on March 5, a second opportunity awaits you on Wednesday. After the wager went un-hit on Friday and Saturday - and with no racing Sunday through Tuesday - there is a carryover of $236,310 entering Wednesday's card.

Two weeks ago, when there was a carryover of $265,874, an additional $1.05 million was wagered into the pool. With Gulfstream and Santa Anita both dark Wednesday, handicappers will likely gravitate to Aqueduct's pick six.

Two weeks ago, there were only 50 betting interests - 41 after scratches. Wednesday, there are 57 betting interests in the sequence with nary a single on the card. Rain was forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday, meaning a wet track is likely.

Here's a look at the sequence:

You just have to love that sloppy track and that is where the real horse race handicappers have the opportunity to show their expertise.

Some horses have shown that they have the ability to excel in the mud. It is up to you- the horse race handicapper to know which ones have this ability.

Horse racing handicapping and wagering, although a legal form of gambling, does not guarantee that the risk of losing your money has been eliminated.

Always wager with money that you can afford to lose, do not violate your money management rules, and do not be greedy, there will always be another horse race to wager on.

Classic Horse Race | 2003 Preakness

Funny Cide dominates the Kentucky Derby and then on a sloppy track in Pimlico, runs away from the field in the Preakness. This horse race was over at the top of the stretch. At that point in time, there were plenty of horse race handicappers who strongly felt that Funny Cide was a given in the final leg of the Triple Crown.
