Money Secrets at the Racetrack

Summary: Where's The Beef?
Review: After you strip away that which is intuitively obvious...there's not much here. There are some betting strategies if you're the type to bet $300 on a Pick 3 or $2,500 on a Pick 6. Otherwise, I'd give this book a miss.

Summary: Opened My Eyes
Review: Another view that many handicappers, make that most handicappers don't fully utilize. Barry Meadows spells it out, and shows the bettor how to get the most money for their money wagered. I have noticed a better return on my winnings since I have read the book.

Summary: Simple basic idea on money management
Review: For a serious starter in horse racing, this book tells you how you should manage your wagering money and how to bet effectively and efficiently. However, this book will be too simple for a horseplayer who has been serious in horse racing for quite a long time.

Summary: MUST HAVE FOR SERIOUS HANDICAPPERS
Review: I have read every serious book on handicapping I can find, and most of them end up gathering dust on the bookshelf after one or two readings - but not this one. This book is about money management and mathmatical probabilities of horseracing and for most horse players - that's where their game needs improvement. Afterall, if you handicap it right, and bet it wrong, the return will still be zero. Buy the book and then follow the advice - especially for Pick 3's, which is terrific.

Summary: There are good books . . .
Review: There are good books on horse race betting, this just isn't one of them. You do need to have deep pockets to follow this guy's advice, and a large bankroll at home.

Summary: A lucid explication of value handicapping
Review: This is a clear and well written book devoted to the premise that the way to prosper at the racetrack is to seek value in your betting methodology. It is one of those books you read and afterwards say, "Of course, that is so obvious." The only criticism I have is that it really doesn't give you much insight into learning how to assign probabilities to the various horses in any particluar race. You are told this is vital to your success or failure but are not given a methodology designed to help you assign those probabilities. Still this is one of the best books ever written about parimutual gambling.
