I do not know a lot about picking winners at the race track, but this book was a big help. It taught me quite a bit of the basics, and it is fairly easy to do. I like going to the races, and it is more fun when you cash tickets! Now I am doing that.
 Not what I was expecting...... March 4, 2008
THe book might be useful to those who like systems, but I do not. It's very much a "look this up and fill in the box here" rote type of handicapping. Had I known that, I would not have bought this book. Also, the printing of the sample past performances in the back of the book is of such poor quality and size as to be nearly illegible.

I have been a recreational horse player for years and I find this book very helpful in organizing some key points for handicapping a race. With the "Contender Checklist" it gives me a guideline into handicapping each race. Although, he touts the TSN PP's, it is a very helpful tool. TSN has many handicapping figures and remarks that most of the other PP's do not offer, which by the way, is the same as Brisnet Ultimate PP's. The book, however, does have a few flaws in that his examples could be better explained by referring to an actual race, item by item. There is an appendix in the back of the book that shows the races he has handicapped, but there are pages missing and the type is extremely small. I had contacted the author by e-mail and pointed out these problems and he was nice enough to send me an actual race he handicapped recently. He e-mailed me the PP's and mailed me a completed "Contender Checklist" for that race card. Very Helpful. All in all, I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn't want to get a "degree" in handicapping as a lot of the other books force you to do with all their stats and calculations.

More of a commercial and recommendation for Ultimate PP's from TSN Horse than a book on handicapping
Handicappers review October 10, 2007

Over the past several years the IRS considers me a professional gambler for tax purposes due to my claiming of W2G's from horseracing. I consider myself a good handicapper, but this "Bet to Win" has enlightened me with its insight into the "Sport of Kings". The book explains the many facets of conditions, trainers, jockeys, class, track bias, claims, money management, along with some handy tools which includes a "contender checklist". I highly recommend this book for the beginner, the novice, or the most experienced of handicappers.
