These are not mine but from Dick Mitchell.


Racings Ten commandments, how well do you do??


1. Thou shalt know thy track.
2. Thou shalt understand Ability.
3. Thou shalt understand Form and Condition.
4. Thou shalt understand Angles and Hot Stats.
5. Thou shalt understand "Wager Value."
6. Thou shalt make a Betting Line.
7. Thou shalt not bet against a legitimate favorite.
8. Thou shalt recognize false and vulnerable favorites.
9. Thou shalt keep detailed records.
10. Thou shalt never stop learning about handicapping.



Thought this would be intersting, though # 6 seems a bit above my level of expertise.

One to add for the list though shall know thyself...as a gambler you must know your strengths and weaknesses. I believe this is essential.
