Can You Win

Back on April 26, 2007 I wrote a post about the basic 3 things every punter needs to have. So if you need to, take a look at them and decide which one(s) you need.


If you look around the web you will find hundreds if not thousands of sites proclaiming the holy grail of horse racing. But I tell you a truth. You can get along for a short time with just 2 of the 3 things. But if your missing one of them, and I'll let you guess which one, your doomed!


OK, onto the next thing. "Basic Track Knowledge"



1. Win - Place - Show. What do they mean?



2. Know how to place a bet at the window.



3. Shippers, maidens, key race, box, wheel, straight, exotics. (huh)!



4. Punter?



Over whelmed yet? If you don't know any of these terms and the many more. Learn them, get a basic book. E-books abound on the web. Don' think you can just get away with a tipster service and leave it at that. Do what- get an e-mail to tell you make this bet. Retire rich, no work. Listen I've tried it all. Been there done that so to speak. Their are some great sites out there to to help you get all the information you need to start your horse racing adventure. And make no mistake it is an adventure.



Oh, by the way don't forget "Discipline" If you have it, you will learn the basics before your first loss. That way you will have an idea of how to change your plan and maybe win the next time.



Until next time - Don't forget muddy tracks. And we will talk about W/P/S and maybe a few of my favorite websites......
