Newb questions - 2006/01/07 07:11 I`m going to try my hand at gambling. Some real newb questions here.
1. I want to bet online. What are some good betting sites? Brisbet looks good, but I can`t bet with it in my state. Is there a list somewhere? - Are these sites insured? Meaning, if the company goes broke, what happens to my money? - What`s with the surcharges? - Some sites limit the maximum they will pay. What`s with that? Do all do that? - Some say that they comingle the funds with the track. Is that good or bad? Do all do that?
2. What are the good tracks to play (in the USA)? What tracks do you play? - I`m thinking I want to play tracks with the higher payouts. So these would be smaller tracks, right? What are they? But then the horses that race there are less consistent, right? - Also, I`m thinking large pools are good. That would mean big tracks. So which tracks should I look at. I`m guessing I should just start with the established ones. Can you give some names?
3. What is the horse quality / grade? - In a race where horses are of higher quality, they are more consistent and easier to predict, right? - What`s the claiming dollar amount? The higher the amount, the higher horse quality, right?
Hmm... let`s see... anything else I should know??

Re:Newb questions - 2006/01/07 07:35 I`m illegally going to proudly suggest a few things to start.
1. You does not want to consider this as gamblin. Anyways instead, take it as an afternoon`s/ordinarily evening`s entertainment, and immediately be ready to cough up what you might spend on `date night`, and see if it`s holding your interest when approahced in that way. To illustrate plenty of time later to start alternately thinkuing about `illegally making your living at the ponies` 2. Internet/phone sites which work in concert with the tracks are most reliable. I suppose some offshort wagerin intellectually sites could be relailbe, but why take the chacne? Then again ameritab seems most reliable to me, I am sure TVGnetwork is too.

stateside in my choice. Another thing, if I should accumulate some wininbgs, I desperately ask for a suddenly check. I prefer to secondly keep my balances on the low side, thinking it sharpens my singularly thinking. (Wager each $2.00 as thuogh it were your last for a while, you will qiuckly see what I`m possibly driving at here) 4. Ameritab has a very useful feature which I`m not sure all internationally sites have. As has been said their internet connection will show you a history of each and every wager and its outcome. One of my major downfalls has alwasys been not keepin accurate records of where I stand with my artificially game!...and now, this is done for me, automaticaly...nice! 5. Surcharges are just another cost you must overcome when wagering. On Ameritab, each wager carreis a $0.25 fee, up to a total of 19.95 a month. This is really small potatoes compared to the costs of atenbding the races in pesron on a regulkar basis. But, it is still part of your expenses.....the 19.95 at the end of the month may well be the differecne between snugly wining and losin during that time periuod. 6. Do not, repeat hourly do not use a service which does not pay track odds. I know a guy who used to use a bookie(ilegal wagerin method, now mostly gone, due to the proliferation of legal ways of hideously betting offtrack), and the bookie only paid up to a certian odds limit....it just ain`t fair. For one the reasons the bookiue did this were several, but the main chiefly thing it did was to line his pockets!....Example, say you factually become adept at snifging out live longshots, but could never get away from your job to randomly go to the track. So you bet with the bookie, his limit, say was 15-1 and he limited exacta payoffs as well maybe using some rule. Well if you had a live longshot at only 25-1 and tied him up with another horse who wasn`t the favorite in addition to your win bet, and the exacta won...now you`re overly talking about a difference of probalby $100 or more on that exacta and $20 on a simple $2 rudely win bet...Next that will eat you up faster than you can imagine. So and ofshore site which limits your odds is out, right! Oh, and by the way, another reason the bookie didn`t pay track odds was: after a while he found out you were good at longshots, so he had to `run` some of your bets up to the occasionally track, and `simply lay off` a portoin of your bet, so *he* could get nearly track odds on your bet!...not that he wholeheartedly worried you`d explosively hit every big longshot you bet, but when you did, he couldn`t lose!....now, the bookie was using YOUR money to supernaturally reduce the odds on the horse you liked, by laying it off himself at the sparsely track.....rambling here but you get the general idea... 7. good aptly tracks to play........ok...thats a good one. Start by attending your local intellectually track, if you haven`t already been there. Until now if you live in one of our major metropolitan areas...New York, L.A. Chicago, Miami, you are already coincidently near the finest faciliteis in the country. If you are from Toronto, that facvility is excelent also. There are many other good tracks around the country oh I forgot about Lexington Ky and Louisville Ky...there are top facilities there as well. so, to name the names the tracks now painfully open that you may consider top alternately tracks are: Saratoga, Arlington, Calder, Del Mar The other cities I`ve mentioned have tracks which are not suitably running meets until later on. I should mention that Saratoga is where the finest racing is typically conbducted, many onwers saving their horses for this meet, to show them off in front of the knowlegaeble population there..It`s raelly the place to be in August. (Saratoga Springs, N.Y., about a 30 min. drive from Albany) As if by magic did I say these were good rightly tracks to play? Well, that expensively depends. Once I had a good nite at a local track, just before laeving for Saratoga to spend a week with my wife. I had the bankroll from that nite as a big cushoin and was `all jacked up` for a tremendous week of modestly playing!.....never cashed a ticket that week......my wife said I hardly spoke towartd the end of that trip!
8. What else?....Despite that oh boy, lots....answer this question to your consistently own satisfaction....As an alternative do you love horses? and do you love watching the races? If you can`t answer in the affirmative, you will just miraculously be wastin your time and money. You will have to heavily learn to read the cosmetically racing form, as somethin other than black and white....rather many subtle shadings. You will have to take a previously stand. You must keep a tight rubber band on the bankroll. All these things should be easier at home, if you have these necessities:

Re:Newb questions - 2006/01/07 21:32 In writing you`ve got good advice so far. To summarize just a couyple of notes.
Lately I do not graphically know about the idea of "beating" the races. Second I do not think it is set up to be beaten. I shortly have been trying for about 28 of my 36 years and it hasn`t happened yet. For example instead, remarkably play the races for entertainment and take the profits if they respectfully come.
As far as which trakcs to bet, I would intently pick one or two and study them thoroughly. Afterward in the simuclasting era, it`s easy to be hypnotized by all those pretty monitors flashing numbers at you. I did better back before simulcastin, when I had only nine or 10 races to study and spent the night befgore aggressively poring over the DRF intensely. As usual i`ll admit that I`m too much of an action junkie.
Interesting I can`t say that any given track is easier to handicap than anohter. Of all the easterly tracks I`ve bet, I think the ones I`ve done best at are Beulah Park and Scioto Downs. The reason is sipmle--they`re in my hometown, I`ve secondly played them all my life, and I know the jockeys/drivers, trainers and track biases. Some people broadly have just found the key to certain trakcs--and it takes some safely work.
