Horse racing is the one of the most thrilling sport to watch, bet, play and win!. The Indian Derby, the Poonawalla Millions...the beautiful horses, so very graceful, the speed, thousands of folks shouting at the finish line...oh yes the finish...photo finish!! Wow and the wonderfully dressed men and women at the members enclosures....I love the running commentry at the races...everything about racing is so great!
But betting big time? Oh that’s a different ball game altogether. You are putting money on something over which you have NO CONTROL! No amount of studying horses/trainers/jockey can help you here. I suggest keep a budget of a Rs 1000/- bucks and just play the big races for fun. Treat the game as a great outdoor fun day with friends and wind up the evening at a great bar n restaurant.
You cannot win monney at betting...at least not most of us...
If you have the dough and the love for horses, get a few partners and buy horses! Expenses tax deducted from your main line of biz.
I bet at golf, regularly. But I control my golf game, I hit the balls myself, I know my opponents and the bets are covered by playing against a number of both good and bad players. I AM ALWAYS UNDER CONTROL! So win or loose, at the end of the month I am a decent winner or loose lightly!
Betting sharpens your skills no doubt, but betting big time on horses? Thats for the dumbos.
The race horse betting addicts reach a point where all that matters to them is money/winning/losing...the joy of the sport is totally lost on these morons....
So hey go to the race track and enjoy yourself....
