Default Handicapping 101

Before you odd people go through your handicapping "methodologies" you might want to consider something.

What are we looking for ---above and beyond everything else? What is our end goal?

To pick the horse we think has the best chance to win and then construct the bet or no bet around that conclusion. Correct?


Some of you have something else in mind .

The last guy to hear the ZC was by no means in the loony bin. I would say he was brilliant.

You have a long way to go to get to his level Mr. Dullest.
