I started betting on the horses in April 2008 not knowing a thing. Asked alot of questions , am on my fifth book. Two years later , Feb 07,2010 paid $24 on a pick 6 for ten hores and scored $16,000. I believe that you can win on $2 ticket just as much as $5000 ticket you have less choices and need to be good.

My professional handicapping career started on January 22nd, 2010 (although, I will certainly keep my day job). On that day I found a copy of "Secrets of Professional Turf Betting" circa 1956 by Robert L Bacon for $1.06 at a local thrift shop. I am three-quarters through the book (I am studying monthly strategies now) and have just purchased Mr. Davidowitz's book. It can't come soon enough. Thank you for the table of contents. Handicapping has been called "the poor man's opportunity" and that draws my interest to this sport. I am in my winter work-outs (paper bets) phase. I may not be a Pittsburgh Phil - maybe not yet.

He also must have missed numerous cautions in the book aimed at those players with modest bankrolls to stay away from the Pick Six. The wagering strategies and related advice is hinted at in the body text, but explicitly covered in considerable detail in the 22 page Appendix D (pgs. 327-358) devoted strictly to Daily Doubles, Exactas, Trifectas, Pick Threes, Pick Fours, Trifectas, the 10 Cent Superfecta and yes, the Pick Six too. Frankly, Mr. Shanklin’s comprehensive Review of Betting Thoroughbreds for the 21ST Century was the best organized and among the clearest reviews of any book I have written. He too cites the so called missing material Mr. Newell’s wishes were there, and well, is there. . .Steve Davidowitz Steve Davidowitz // Nov 28, 2009 at 2:12 pm
