Hi Partsnut--
Question: Randy, as far as I know, you are a win bettor. Is this correct?
Answer: Yes, I'm primarily a win better...a simulcast player.
Question: You won't bet into a mush race because there is no contender that shows a pace edge. Is this correct?
Answer: Usually that's the case. I will play mush race if there's a serious overlay.
Question: For the most part you do not bet the exotics?
Answer: That's right. Since I look at, on average, about 10 tracks per day I'm really focused on horses that have a pace advantage or horses that will be "working" in a pace box.
Question: You also demand value for the horses that you play?
Answer: Absolutely. If I'm right I want to be rewared for it. This might sound strange but I don't really like betting! I really want an opportunity that compels me to make the bet. Pace advantages do that for me.
Question: You are a simulcast player that picks his spots from a multitude of tracks and plays on a daily basis? You are a volume player?
Answer: That's correct. I do play on a daily basis...that's 7 days a week. Since my wife likes me to have a real life too I have the technology in place that allows me to wager wherever I happen to be. I have an iPhone and an iPad so that makes it easy. I use Twinsipres so I can login to my account even when I'm at one of my grandson's baseball games and do business. I have two computers going in my office and then when I'm out and about I'm still in the game. It's just unbelievable what technology has done. I can't say enough good things about it so I'll just stop there.
Question: The majority of players cannot handle a protracted losing streak? So you have to learn how to lose before you can learn how to win?
Answer: I think so. It's tough but it's just part of the game. Like baseball horse racing is a game of failure for the most part and so we just have to deal with it, move on and make good plays. Keep making value plays, that's the most important thing.
