    Go Baby Go! 3 years ago

    Living in the city that’s home to Churchill Downs, I’ve always played around a bit with betting on the ponies, even as a child when my family would have a $1 pool and draw horses for the Derby. This year, though, my man has been taking me to races at Keeneland and Churchill Downs more often (he’s a bit of a gambler), and I’ve started to learn more about how wagering really works. What I’ve REALLY learned, though, is this: never take more money to the track than you will be comfortable losing, and trust your instincts! I mean, if analyzing all the details about horses in a race really worked, there wouldn’t be much of a random element to it.

    I recently had my first big win at Keeneland: bet $2 across the board on a horse that went off at 80-something to 1 odds, and it had an amazing come-from-behind win that netted me $250 on a $6 bet!



    I went to the races too! 3 years ago

    Hi there,
    the other week and had a great
    time with my kids too.
    for tips. Have found them really good, today
    for example, they had 8 winners from just 14
    selections in the UK. It is all based on a
    horse racing betting system.

    Well, good luck all, and might see

    A fun day 3 years ago

    I went to the horse races with my mom and some other family. It was a really fun day.

    At the end of the day I was down $6.20. Not bad.

    I’ll definately do this again.



    as long as you go for the $1 bets 3 years ago

    tryon blockhouse steeplechase every year… and i never ever win! i guess that’s what i get for betting based on the horse’s names! but it’s still fun…

    not as a habit though,i would imagine…i didnt have a clue either,but my mates persuaded me to when we were out on the piss at christmas,i won 60p for £3 of bets but it was great fun!

    possibly very soon 3 years ago

    I told my roommate that I wanted to do this. I convinced him that it could be really fun. We’re going to go sometime soon!

    I had no idea what I was doing. I prefer Bingo for gambling.



    yakuza who has missed me?

    Not too bad 3 years ago

    I had fun betting although I had no idea what I was doing. I think I’d do it again too. I think the first time I went was when I was a sophomore in high school. I felt like I was a rebel or something ha ha.

    made plans 3 years ago

    I told my mom that I want to go with her sometime. She goes fairly often and will let me know next time she is going to the races.

    Theres a track much closer to where I live, but I want to go with someone familiar with the whole thing for my first trip. If I have fun I’ll drag my friends with me to the local track.



    Woo-Hoo!!! 3 years ago

    I used to bet on the ponies in California, made it a rule to never spend more than $10, Actually came home once with over $300! Just watching them run is fun also!!! But set a limit and keep it!
