What do you do when you Handicap?

What do you in your handicapping? Strategies.

Ernie, the first thing I do is blast Ri Ri or Madge through my Beats by Dr. Dre' so I can get a good vibe going. Then I take my yellow highlighter and red pen and go through the jockey stats, very carefully. I never use past performances of the actual horses running..

Hahahaha funny you wish. That's not what I do. In your dreams I do. I don't even listen to rap that's crap to me.

I don't bet short fields. I like to bet the fields that are 8 horses and above in a horse race. Like here in CA, I'd like to less 5 to 7 horse fields in a full card. I wanna see full fields like we see at GP or in NY during the Spring and Summer and Fall.

I'm strictly a numbers type of plunger and I don't mean sheets.

I play the same numbers every race no matter the jock, odds, PeePees, or trainer.

So far I'm ahead double this year.

I also play names and wimmin jocks when my favorite number is scratched. For example, I'll be wagering on #5 in the 7th race today at beautiful Oaklawn Park this afternoon.

For a year, I bought Toby Turrell winner's card to learn more about handicapping. It's useful especially since he's a clocker who IMO picks horses based on their works. He's a good workouts handicapper.

When I am playing straight bets Win and Place, I do the following , I watch the board with the first round of bets, where the money goes, I look for a drop in price on anything that is 12-1 or lower.

Secondly, I also watch for over lays on low price morning line odds. 8-1 or lower


Everyone bets, so watch were the money goes.

Just Remember follow the money other then the favorite. That's one of the main reasons I take my laptop, to get constant information.

As to my pick 3, pick 4 and pick 5's, one can read my other thread.

As to the pick six players, let them respond.

Strictly logic.
I go through the card and eliminate all horses who have absolutely no chance. Then I go to the track and bet $2 ATB on those horses. Seems to work well, at least for me.

I like to bet my best bet of the days across the board wagers.

take a look at the last race at SA, my post hit it to the tee.

turn my computer on-download the tracks-hit compute and then look for value. then wait for 1-2mins to post and bet my overlays. no 6 horse fields or less. no races moved from turf to dirt due to weather. no sloppy tracks.
