Handicapping will keep you humble.
In the search for a viable sister system to the 'monster move' I have discovered a hole in my game. It's not the first, probably won't be the last–merely the latest. They appear at random periods, until I notice. If I can ever plug all these holes up at the same time, maybe I'll achieve my $20 wagering goal.
This time, I have realized that I handicap more successfully when I don't consider price in the early stages of my evaluation. As a result, I don't cash in on virtual 'exotic' gimmes; the kind that pay $30 for two standouts in a race. Typically, they are two outstanding Beyer figures–one is odds on, the other is 6-1 or better.
Although I am usually a straight bettor when involved with the move. I have to realize that there's nothing wrong with an 8-1 or more exacta on two standouts.
Note to self: Plug it up. Suspend betting until I do.
