Books

Hi:

I don't mind the question. I gave up horse racing quite a few years ago. Everyone knows it is a tough game and I just decided that despite how much fun it is to play, it's probably in my...

Older Thoroughbred Books Available

Hi All:

I'm clearing out my bookcase so I have 47 older horse racing books available. My first inclination is to just liquidate for pennies at my local bookstore since there isn't enough...

Tasers aren't the problem

Let's face it, the taser isn't the problem. There are bad cops just like there are bad politicians, bad handicappers, bad lawyers, and bad accountants. A taser is a less dangerous option to control a...

Besides the too low handle argument, the Vegas payoffs would undoubtedly be much different than the tracks. Most nonchalont players would freak if the win payoff is showing $15.60 on the monitor and...

Mark, I think you make a fair point here. However, all of the wagering options that you mentioned are the higher takeout variety. I thought these "second" and "third" wagers would offer some...

An alternate type of straight wager

This may be a very simplistic idea so ponder it and feel free to kick it to the curb if it makes no sense. In addition to offering place and show wagering, why don't tracks offer straight bets that...
