To bet or not to bet. That's still the question.
After more than 30 years as a 'long-shot' horseplayer, it has just sunken in that there is a really large hole in my game. I've talked about it, complained about the lack of time available to correct and on and on. My wagering is too frequent and haphazard.
Overall I am a decent handicapper, but I lack a wagering strategy to match my skills. Hence, the recent lack of posts to this blog. I win on front-running, pace horses, especially when I can justify a 'monster move (see chart). Wagering in these situations is automatic–across the board and an exacta box with the favorite.
My review pointed out a gigantic problem is with additional exotics wagers. I end up trying to win a bet rather than identifying a better opportunity. To stop the bleeding, I am betting only where I can predict an open-length win (see Hundred Acres). Otherwise its back to the three bet 'second-third favorite' box. Stay tuned
