Book Review: Handicapping for Dummies
Summary: 5 Stars
P.T. Barnum was right when he said there was a sucker born every minute. Question; If those in the racing industry want to really put this gambling gimmick on the up and up, let us move the highest handicapped horse on the inside rail allowing supposedly the worst horse (based on the bookmakers odds or morning line) to run the shortest route while moving the lowest odds horses to the outside post positions. Now why does this suggestion sound fair to all the betting public but is so strongly opposed by the odd-makers ? Hmmmm ?
Summary of Betting on Horse Racing For Dummies
How to enjoy a day at the races-and bet to win!The last two years have seen a record number of Americans tune in for climatic Triple Crown races featuring Smarty Jones and Funny Cide; in 2004, television viewership jumped a whopping 61 percent over the record set in 2003, and the Belmont Stakes race itself drew a record crowd of more than 120,000! This easy-to-understand guide shows first-time visitors to the track how to enjoy the sport of horse racing-and make smart bets. It explains what goes on at the track, what to look for in horses and jockeys, how to read a racing form and do simple handicapping, and how to manage betting funds and make wagers that stand a good chance of paying off. Complete with coverage of off-track and online betting, it's just what anyone needs to play the ponies-and win!
Richard Eng (Las Vegas, NV) is a racing writer and handicapper for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, a columnist for the Daily Racing Form, and the host of a horseracing radio program in Las Vegas. He was formerly a part of the ABC Sports team that covered the Triple Crown.
