subject: How to Win at Sam Houston Race Park [print this page] Sam Houston Race Park offers racing fans with a great opportunity for those who like to handicap long shot winners at the track, and throwing out the favorites when betting is a very wise and profitable strategy when you pick your spots and back a live long shot. You have to remember that the goal is not to collect on every single wager that you place. The objective is to win money, and you can do that by picking just one winner on an entire card if you select the right long shot, or long shot exacta. When you go to Sam Houston Race Park with a long shot betting strategy, it is important that you stay patient and not feel compelled to bet every single race. There are races that you handicap and feel as though the favorite is a very likely winner and perhaps the field is rather small, and there really is no live long shot and no value in betting the favorite. That is when you need to lay out, turn the page of your Daily Racing Form, and begin handicapping the next race. Remember, when you are at the track, it is not your last opportunity to wager on a horse race. "Tomorrow is another day," as they say, and you can always return to the races whenever you'd like to, so it is perfectly alright to bide your time and wait until you see some genuine value. We repeat: you do not have to bet every race, and when you learn that lesson you will find our bankroll fatter for the effort. A visit to Sam Houston Race Park is great way to spend an evening or an afternoon, and if you are patient and disciplined with your betting, you can watch your bankroll swell while you are having a Texas sized helping of good clean fun.
