serious question for you.
The big M, , harness racing, horse racing. I mean I have the fever since I Was young for the ponies. However, what would cause you the most patient and value handicapper on the forums to play into these horrible track takeouts. Even with a rebate at Pinny you will get much the worst of it. There are not exchanges to play these at you are at least a -8% even with good handicapping and a rebate.
HARNESS racing is the ONLY form of RACING that I partake in where I actually EXPECT to show a profit and actually have been good enough at it to have shown a profit over the many many years of handicapping it and have been fairly consistant at it too..................however, it is mainly done for entertainment purposes as the profits are very, very small in comparison to my other gambling........VERY SMALL.
A big fan of the BIG M and have followed it quite closely over the years and these days it is really the only track that I wager at where I expect to show a profit.................and is the only pari-mutual wagering I do other than some friendly $2 trifectas and exactas with close friends if I go to Derby Lane or other place with simulcasting to do just for fun and entertainment.
Usually make a few bets on the Triple Crown and Breeders Cup also...........but again, SMALL and only for entertainment.
The BIG M gets the majority of my play on SATURDAYS, as over the years have found this to be my best day there............currently on a streak of 7 straight Saturdays at the BIG M where I have made money.
Play only 2-6 races on the card and actually am very disciplined at the BIG M and only play races where I have a good feel.
In fact, last evening ONLY played ONE stinking race..........had a 7-1 shot for 20% on the WIN and 80% on the PLACE..............finished 2nd by a head and was able show a SMALL profit of $232.
Hope this helps TTT.........big races this next Satuday at the BIG M. I would post some selections here at the RX but the majority of my wagers are based on the track odds 2 minutes to post or less.
