The Breeder's Cup reaffirmed a shift in the way I now approach the races. This shift started about 3 years ago. In the past, I had my favorite tracks I liked to play. I would download pp's for 2 or 3 tracks I liked to play, look at my software printouts, and proceed to bet most of the races offered at those tracks. Some days I won, many days I lost.
Nowadays, I download pp's for most racetracks and cherry-pick races looking for value. I still may bet 10-15 races a day but that will likely cover 6-9 tracks. This has been really successful for me.
Breeder's Cup and Kentucky Derby Days are the 2 days I bet only 1 race track. Yesterday, I played just about every race in the Breeder's Cup and lost money over all. I played much less than I usually do, knowing I probably would lose but I wanted to "enjoy" my day watching the Breeder's Cup on TV and playing from home. As always there was a price to "enjoyment". Today, I go back to investing.
Hope everyone has a great day.
Jim
