handle
« on: June 03, 2026, 10:02:43 PM »
trying to figure the correct way to say this
plopsters cry no handle, stepping on your own money, one $20 wager kills the odds
well the old timers who wagered are gone and the new generation could care less
trig, jt, dougie, and luc need help
instead of blaming tracks for surviving cause of handouts
WAGER NOWWW and improve those handles
idk, js

There was no lobby for the gamblers, still none.

It should be the legislators, bought and sold by the same.

I'm aiming for big pools.

There's enough for everybody!

Andrew, enjoy your posts

I got the Roger Huston reference  ngc3

I primarily play pick 5' as everyone on here knows

I come from a harness background

I live in Delaware,OH for God sake!!

There is no point in me firing in a Pick 5 ticket of $100 to $150, which is my standard range .. into a $3,000 pool.

My bet alone doesn't do anything for the pool To high risk with not enough ROI potential
 
I might as well play that money on a win ticket or exacta in harness racing

I wish I could implement my strategies in harness racing.. but its not worth it

I am it in for big scores, not chump change. 4 figures or more

I bet alot on harness during LBJ week and that's about it.On NA Cup elimination day I will watch the entire card, but I will not bet on it. I will fire some bets in on NA Cup finals day..bigger pools

I think you're ready for another simultaneous p5 - yours - and a higher dollar amount tightened in one.

I wouldn't change a thing.

Do it after you wager.

A restart.

Just something to consider.

I put a winning dd together today with an all, twice  ngc3

I like your spirit. It has been years since I was wagering good money. This brutal winter had me betting a decent amount. Mohawk is the track I bet.
Problem #1 is the CAW was killing me. 7-1 leaves & is 5/2 on the first turn. I didn't like a 3/5 horse who breaks 5 steps before the start. At the quarter pole is now 5-1.
Problem #2 is the chalk started to dominate. Single file racing with little challengers...equ als chalk. Everyone gets a hole is awful. ETC....
Outcome: I'm not going to hours watching replays and handicapping. I refuse to bet when there is one or 2 horses paying $10 or more...a night.

Look at the handle spike whenever there is a carryover
Gamblers are willing to bet more
But they aren't willing to bet more into a takeout that is extraordinary uncompetitive in today's gambling market
Tracks made the product competitively priced for the CAWs only. That was their choice.
Retail players have every right to complain about the tracks and bet elsewhere IMO
