Handicapping
for Bettor or Worse: A Fresh Perspective to Betting the
Races
John
Lindley
Pub Date: April 2004. Professional
handicapper John Lindley offers horse players a practical
guide on how to use available betting information to develop
their own methods. He explains the pros and cons of systems
used by other popular handicapping authors, reveals how
he prepares for a day at the races, and gives specific
examples of how to maximize betting opportunities.
As
a racehorse owner, Lindley also gives bettors a look at
the behind-the-scenes decisions that can affect the outcome
of their wagers. Bettors will learn the tricks trainers
use to keep horses in their stable or get them claimed.
They also learn how to decipher workout and medication
information and what it means when horses wear blinkers,
tongue ties, and other equipment. Lindley illustrates
his betting examples with past performances and race charts.
Handicapping for Bettor or Worse provides
the tools to cash winning tickets.

"This
is an excellent publication written in easy-to-understand
terms and allows those who may have become too accustomed
to one method of handicapping to see what other methods
