it's hard for me to believe that somebody would post this
it's so very, very wrong
the lines are very, very tight
I would love to see someone post 150 sports picks and show everybody how easy it is
that ain't gonna happen
having said that - winning betting sports is easier - (but not easy) - than winning at racing
the house take on the simple sports bets (not parlays) is only 4.55%
I find the takeout in racing crushing - and I will never again make serious bets into a negative situation like that
I will sometimes make recreational bets
to review what everyone here knows but rarely mentions
WPS - around 17%
Exacta - around 20%
Tri - around 25%
and that's before breakage which can have a large impact on odds on faves
maybe some can
but I'm not Superman
I know I can't regularly beat a takeout like that
maybe, maybe, possibly if I put a ton of work into it - and then if I could I believe it would only be by a tiny % - but I'm not willing to do that
still, I love the game - and the excitement of a race - and the great challenge of handicapping and will make some small bets
