There are more fun
ways to spend your last days if you are dead-set on eventually jumping off a bridge.
Bridge Jumping is a bit like martingale and others that increase your short-term chances and also your long-term loss.
Long-term it's no easier than any other way of betting. You still have to be a tremendous horseplayer to keep your head above water. Unfortunately there is no shortcut that let's you skip over the part about betting overlays and passing underlays.
If you are trying to win meaningful amounts, you also have to risk relatively large amounts with this strategy. If you do lose a race, you will have to take a significant loss, or 'chase' (a road to hell with increasing amounts to 'recoup' your losses).

But in the last dump, some very large wagers had come in and the horse ended up being 1/2. The large wagers had created a minus show pool. He had a e-mail threatening to close his account for betting into a minus pool. He got a little steamed about that e-mail.

and yes ADWs will shut you down
I made a very modest profit with a series of relatively small (ranging from several hundred to a couple thousand dollars) spot-play wagers on certain negative pool opportunities, and one of my ADWs quickly sent me a cease and desist letter.
