Book Description
Congratulations! You've just found the simplest, most powerful way to bet a little and make a lot. I admit it. I used to be the world's worst bettor. I'd been successfully handicapping everything that moved for more than 20 years. I could find winners, I could find longshots, I could find horses who didn't want to run and horses that felt good. But as soon as I stepped up to the window my brain turned to mush. I simply was a terrible bettor - even when I knew who was going to win the race. Stupid bets were costing me a fortune.So I sat down with a computer and a desk full of information about win betting, exotic payoffs and other statistics, to develop a betting system even I could win with. One that promised the most return for the smallest risk.First I looked at thousands of races, and was able to break them down into the six most common race scenarios. Then I studied each race type, including payoffs, looking for the best bets. Always they seemed to appear in the single-race exotics: superfectas, trifectas, and exactas - where my betting strategy was the weakest. So I looked for winning formulas that would force me to make money in spite of myself. Each time I came up with one, I tested it. If it didn't perform, I went back to the computer to find one that did. The formulas you see here are the result.They're disarmingly simple, but extremely powerful. By playing them exactly as they're set out, you will never make another bad bet. Your win percentage will rise. You profits will go up. Your confidence will soar. You'll be a happier person, with fatter pockets, and going to the track will become a much happier experience.After all, it's always more fun when you win.Never before offered. Simple fill-in-the-blanks templates for the six most common betting scenarios. All you do is pick your horses and fill in the blanks. Works for all kinds of races - thoroughbreds, quarters, harness, stock cars, marathons, even sports like baseball, golf, soccer, and football - where exotics are offered.Included free: How To Find Your Longshot, a step-by-step guide to picking the thoroughbreds, with specific examples, shows you how to find the money horses in less than five minutes a race, using only a form or program. A $20 value. Also includes the basic Killer Angles, first published in American Turf Monthly, explaining a half-dozen hidden angles that can dominate a race, keying huge payoffs. A $29 value. Plus a special bonus: "No-No's and Do-Do's" - 27 angles that can make a good bet bad and a bad bet good." YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A GREAT HANDICAPPER. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A ROCKET SCIENTIST. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO BE VERY SMART. JUST FILL IN THE BLANKS AND START WINNING!
