THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN GOING TO THE RACES

WIN MORE AND GAIN FLEXIBILITY

Consider this when betting daily doubles. I have found it to be the case in many instances. A significant amount of smart or hidden money is wagered in doubles rather than put it in the win pool. The public is less likely to find it.  Always check the DD payoff screens, then consider what I suggest below.

Let's assume you are betting four $10 doubles, the 3 and 4 in the first half with the 5 and 7 in the second half. That's a $40 bet in total. Instead bet $20 to win on the 3 horse and $20 on the 4 horse. If one wins, take the entire amount you won and bet half of it on the 5 and half on the 7, the two horses that you were going to use in the second half of the double. You'll be surprised how many times you will have collected more than you would have betting it in doubles. In addition, you have the flexibility to put the money in your pocket if you decide you no longer like the 5 and 7 horses in that next race.  There's no withdrawl option with double tickets once you buy them and the first half is over. 

Would be a shame to have a $30 winner in the first half and lose the second half only to walk away with nothing.  Using my suggestion, you pocket the nice return and forget the next race or bet just a portion.

MONEY MANAGEMENT

For money management, use this as an approach since money management is very important. Wager 10% of your bankroll in each race that you bet. That will ensure that when you are losing, the amount of your wagers are decreasing and when you are winning the amount of your wagers is increasing. A very good rule of thumb for making sure your bankroll lasts the entire day.

GOOD ADVICE BEFORE YOU LEAVE FOR THE RACES

When going to the races be sure to follow this steadfast rule.  Don't eat at the races, don't drink alcohol at the races and don't take your wife or girlfriend to the races.  That's a 3 horse parlay and no one hits 3 horse parlays. (Just kidding, a lttle humor for the road).
