subject: Your Future in Horse Racing and Handicapping Depends Upon Making Money [print this page] There is a lot of talk lately about the state of horse racing in the United States and what the future may hold. It seems that everyone has a plan to fix horse racing so it turns around and starts attracting more fans and the numbers start moving up again. While the future of our favorite sport is important to us, what really matters to each of us is what we will be doing in horse racing ten years from now.
By looking at the personal side of horse racing handicapping the industry could get an idea of how to make it more popular, but let's just talk about how you will continue to enjoy and maybe even make a profit from your wagers. One of the biggest topics of conversation and contention is the takeout. We horse players pay a premium to play this sport compared to gamblers in a casino. While it is easier to win at horse racing than playing the lottery, the state makes out just as well on horse players as they do on the lottery if you consider the amount each player spends.
We have to shop around for the best way to make our bets while staying within the law. In many states that may mean playing through an online ADW (advanced wagering) service. The reason they are becoming more attractive and succeeding is that they offer cash back and bonuses for playing their tracks. While there is nothing like the experience of actually being at the races and enjoying the spectacle of the sport, which track have you visited lately that handed you a few bucks as you walked out the door at the end of the day? That is exactly what some ADW's do.
If you haven't already opened an account, it would pay you to look into it, after making sure it is legal where you live. The next step after getting the best deal from the company that carries your wagers is to find the track with the lowest takeout. That information is readily available online. By both getting the best deal and getting some of your money back in the form of bonuses while also paying the lowest vig, you may be able to survive at this game.
If you just love handicapping horse races and don't have a lot of money to spend, there are handicapping contests available and some have some pretty good prizes including good old cash. Winning a tournament isn't the same as making a profit at horse racing handicapping. You just have to beat the other players, but that doesn't necessarily mean your bets have to make a profit. Imagine picking losing bets, but still winning money. It is possible in tournaments. Learning how to play in tournaments and the secrets of horse racing tournament winners could mean you will be able to play the horses for many years, no matter what happens.
