Alton,
I was killing the game once with my own figures. Those days are long gone.
Now i need to use patience - and figures alone aren't enough anymore.
Yet, you never quite know when an opportunity will present itself.
For example:
Yesterday, last night, there was a P5 carryover at Pompano Park that I handicapped. In a race there was a solid Single at 2-1 ML. Figured he'd be even-money.
When the race came up, couldn't believe the horse was totally overlooked at 5-1 and I made a nice win bet.
I didn't hit the P5 (missed another race) but collected a $12.20 mutuel and a $27.20 exacta.
These things just don't come up that often.
