Anyone going back to the Ponies
Been betting a little everyday for 3wks and showing a profit
Safe & truly legal but the take is horrendous. I know the vig will grind me down again but...

With the house edge, I might be better of playing roulette or Blackjack... I tried getting into it but its it like rolling 6-12 lotto balls down the track... If someone had some good advice on capping ponies I would love to here it...

Know Someone
I have a lot of success on horses but I only bet one every couple of weeks. You need to get a contact to an owner. Races are crooked. The owners DO get together and throw smaller races and everyone cashes in, even the guy that knows a guy that knows an owner in the race.
I have made thousands from these tips. I know that I have only lost once and would guess I have gotten 30 or 40 tips over the years. Most of the time, the horse goes off at 5-1 or better. Duh... They hold the favorite back (Obviously for higher returns)...
I will try to post my next tip on here...
Peace,
rmdanie

Thanks for the chuckle rm ... The scenario you depict where the owners get together and fix a race just isn't going to happen on any level ... The fixed race, which by the way is very rare today, is usually done by trainers and/or jocks and certainly everyone in the race is not in on it ... The punishment for trying to fix a race is a lifetime suspension and prosecution for a crime ... If a race is even partially fixed (several horses being held back), you can be sure that a guy that knows a guy that knows an owner won't know ... And the bottom line always is, the HORSE never knows.

I agree with Kdmfox. Inside information is a good way to catch a nice score with the ponies. However it seems the most reliable information has been trainer based and it doesn't come my way very often. When I hear an owner likes their horse I rarely act upon it.Over the years its just not profitable in the long run.My best score was worth five figures on a horse that hadn't run in a year and had posted very slow works for his return.He won easily by five that day yet never won another race ever again.Its the old saying you can beat a race but you can't beat the races.

EhorseX is back. You can bet horses to lose if you like. It puts a new twist on things.
