I've gone to my local track (Meadows - Washington, PA) a few times and have a blast betting horses in their book. They have the live feeds from all the tracks and it's quite a lot of fun. I think what I love most about it is within 4-5 minutes of your bet you know if you've won or lost. Now of course I only $2 or $3 a bet and strictly as recreation.
However, so far to this point, I've just been picking a race and picking odds I like, and bet accordingly. Might as well be throwing darts, I know. It's been fun but betting like this obviously just prolongs the inevitable. They offer those daily magazines/insight books or whatever for like $5 and my big question is, I guess, what should I be looking at for information? I know horse racing has a lot to it but certainly there is info in those mags even a beginner like myself could use.
Or are there some decent tips everyone should use? In terms of track? Or speed? Or breed? Just looking for some decent starting points guys. Any help is much appreciated:toast:
