Would it be more better if
When I post picks if the winner was in my Top 3 or Top 4?
Just a question that I had and hope it is not a dumb question to ask (sorry if it is)
Thanks all!

it would be better if you only post 1 pick, and make them more selective.

Yes like for example I like and then explain why I like it?
Or just choose races I feel are good?

this is a pari-mutuel game. there are some awfully sharp players in it, along with very fast computers. then you have to pay for takeout and breakage.
the old adage is: you can beat a race, but you can't beat the races.

The best picks posters in this forum are the one's that post their picks and let everyone know how they are betting their picks.

I would say I am not one of those "best picks posters"
Robert Fischer (Jason Kassa) would be a great example of a guy who does just that

I post my top 4. In most races, at least 3 horses have a shot. To make a consistent profit, sometimes you have to go with the overlay. It's all in the arithmetic.
