Here are two more mistakes, for which I have paid a heavy price over the years:
1.) Don't allow some "hot" horse on the board to change your mind about your own wager in a race. Our selective memory tells us that these horses win "most of the time..."
They DON'T!
2.) Never lend "serious" money at the track...even to your friends.
It seems that many people don't consider money lent at the track to be a legitimate debt.
Maybe they feel that this money was won at the windows...so it should be freely shared.
I've had "friends" tell me that they will pay me back the next time they "hit"...
Don't lend the money in the first place...and save yourself the aggravation.
