I have found that online wagering/handicapping has improved my balance
of home life and horse race betting. This is nothing new. My frequenting race books locally
for cash wagering has dwindled down to nothing after close to 20 years of internet capping.
All wagering goes directly to and from my (our) bank account. No secrets.
The wins and losses are out in the open.
It took me little time to realize that comparing 24/7 access to viewing and wagering at close to every race track across the planet, far outweighs the social experience in "cash only" satellite wagering facilities. I can easily sacrifice the "ambience" at a live facility
Besides, whenever I do make a rare appearance at a race book, I'm buried in
my laptop - as soon as I can find a good power outlet with decent wifi.
