Question for you pony players........

I am very new to this ( horse betting ) but I love the action. I have been playing football for many years but this aint no football game.

Any advice for winning on the ponies would be appreciated.

I would really like to hear some betting strategies.

Thanks!!!!!!!

Some advice?

Don't feel you have to play every race. Make your own value odds on the races that you play and play your horse if he is in that range. Stick with what works, we all have our slumps and our weeks where we just can't lose. Never stop learning, searching, or trying out new trends and angles... you may just stumble across a winning play!

Good Luck!

Ditto, it's the most common mistake.

Don't Feel Like You're Pressed To Make A Bet. If You Really Like Something Look At Betting Strategies,like Making Something Work For A Saver Bet,you May Bet To Win ,but Back It Up With A Bottom Wheel In Exacta's Or Vice Versa

Welcome Ace...Before this past year, the only horse racing betting I ever did was once at the old Narragansett Race Track in RI when I was about 20, which was 29 years ago and a few times on the Triple Crown races. I am an avid racing fan now playing the horses on a regular basis and following this forum. I have learned alot from some of the previous posters, so listen to them. The one thing I do most is read the Daily Racing Form. Probably 80% of my decision making is from information I gather there. Good Luck to you...
