I need help

[TheSpyder]

Appreciate the views. I think part of my frustration is I love Saratoga so much I end up playing it everyday. Because I work out of my house it's easy to watch Capital OTB in the morning, Siros's show, the races, and listen to Steve on Siriusin the afternoon. Only to print out the form and cap at night. I'm doing this as well as a job. After 5 weeks I'm a little burned out.

As to the responses, I bet what I can afford and look at it as entertainment, not for profit, and that's OK with me. Horse racing is my passion and don't look at it as something I want to quit.

As for what I'm going to do, I'm going to cut down on the races I play. Also, my fall tennis season is coming so that will keep me busy.

As for capping style, brisnet if free with twin spires which saves me $30 a month. I think I'm going to start a two stage capping method. Stage one look at the race and decide if it's playable. Does it have value, are there clear choices (sometimes I'll make a pick out of 3-5 horses I like which is a waste), is there an angle that shows a positive sign???

Then stage two once I have my pick, just play to win/place or just win. With brisnet keeping track of all bets you can query the history and W/P is my best betting success. I'll give myself maybe one or two exacta's a day when it looks appropriate.

Oh, and Bigs...thanks for finding that post...very funny. You know what they say about consultants...if you can't do it, be a consultant and get paid to to tell people how to do it.

Thanks again and best of luck,
