Like my old boss from the racetrack told me winning has nothing to do with being a winning handicapper knowing how to bet is the main key. You can pick horses but if you do not understand how to capitalize on them you will cry after each race you bet. So he told me if you want to know how skilled you are find 6 races does not matter what the odds are just find 6 that will run in the money. Let me put it this way if a guy offered you he could give you one horse per day that would pay even money would you accept it? Am offering a sheet of good races to play and having the winner in the Top-3 with an AVG 60% part of your work is done being consistent is the name of the game and knowing how to bet is the real ability so you can CAPITALIZE on each bet.
Do you follow any guidelines which drive how you bet across the board for a race? For instance, in the 10-20-40 strategy, would that be true for a 2:1 horse or one that is 10:1?
Let's say my budget per race is $48 and I like a horse. $16 ATB is obvious, but I have been trying to figure out a sweet spot so that across the board wager is more heavily weighted to win/place on a low-odds pick. I can figure out the $$, but don't have set criteria for the odds thresholds. (for instance at 5:1 or higher, $16 ATB or with lower odds, perhaps 20-16-12).
