My Win% was 23 but I usually bet 2 horses to win and occasional exacta so that doesn't tell me much.
My return was terrible so I too had a big loss on the dollar. 
My current balance is $.90.
The good news is when I sort by wager I made 25 Show bets and won 12 for 48%. Wagered $61 and returned $56.90.
8 wins were over $3.00 and 2 of those were $11.60. I don't know what my method was at those times but if I was a little more discerning on the odds I might be on to something.
(I had no idea I made so many Show bets!)
Keeping records is a must I guess but the truth hurts sometimes. |
Like I said, if you would have asked me before I looked, I would have never guessed I had bet that much over the previous 3 months. I looked it over last night, line by line. I lost $280 one night goofing off with my wife playing LosAl Quarters. Again, if you would have asked me that night how much I lost, I would have said, "Oh, about $100".
