Cincy,
You have a number of factors in your favor as a horseplayer (1) you have a definite plan (2) you have a brutal honesty about your strengths and weaknesses in this game (3) You have a sense of confidence (4) you love playing the game.
I am so far behind in the exotic end of the game simply because I dread the losing runs and thus the reason I make cold or 1X2 exacta or doubles on occasion to simply dramatically improve the win R.O.I., and occasionally a P3 if I have two strong opinions in the sequence. I admire the true exotic player who can fire away and deal with the huge upswings and downswings of their betting banks. To me, their are too may variables which lead the bad beats/extended losing runs.
In my opinion too may people take flyers (Action Bets), to wait for their key betting races to arrive. For most this is bad in the fact that these wagers add up in the loss column. Others will argue that they help keep focus and such on the track bias etc, maybe true for some but I do believe these action bets become compulsive to many and throw a player off his game as the losses add up.
Well anyway Saratoga is close and I wish all good luck because once the meeting starts it seems the Travers is over and the meet is about to end.
