 Useful August 5, 2008
The book is a useful, nuts and bolts approach to money management at the track. Meadow insists on having wager value of a price greater than the expected probability of winning for all wagers at the track from win, place, show, to the exotic pools that are so mainstream today. There are some charts in the book that estimate probability of exactas based on the win probablities of the combinations. It's a good start for beginners and it's a good reminder of what investments a gambler needs to stay in the game long term.

This book is utter nonsense. If I knew what was written in this book before I paid for it the author would have to pay me to read it. If you could understand the gibberish in this book it would be impossible to actually apply it at the track. I can not believe that they charge $24 for this book. The most they should charge for this book is .95 cents and you would be gettting robbed at that price.

Barry Meadows statigies for Win Place Show, Daily Doubles, Exactas, and Pick-3's were excellent. The charts he has availble for the reader are very handy for these types of wagers. When I make these bets these are the only methods I use.
The Trifecta techniques were so-so, and I was very disapointed that the book didn't cover the Superfecta. I also would have liked it, if the Place Pick All were covered, but I haven't found a book yet that gives advise on this type of bet.
The Pick-4 and Pick-6 Templates are great. I always refer to the templates when I have to bring the cost of my ticket down. It's quick and easy.
 Racetrack Math for Dummies June 9, 2006

Meadows helps to boil down some complex calculations (that you can use in the 30 minutes between races) to help serious bettors make smart plays, especially on exactas and other exotics. He provides convenient, reproducible charts that help you see at a glance which exacta combos make sense for you. He also gives you a way to find show and place bets with value, something many other books ignore or only give lip service to.
Don't expect much from this book if you're not a handicapper who makes your own line, all the management comes from the difference in your odds and the public's. And he doesn't show you how to make a line - there are plenty of other books that help with that.
For those reviewers who were put off by the larger bankrolls Meadows uses in his examples, the strategies work just as well for a $2 bettor as a $200 one, it's just a matter of moving the decimal point!
Best Of Its Kind March 11, 2006

Barry Meadow's "Money Secrets At The Racetrack" is the best book ever written on the subject of money management and the science of betting on horses, in my opinion. He covers every aspect of wagering and has used extensive research to formulate his ideas. In the parlance of racing, this book is a "sure thing" to improve the success of every bettor, whether novice or veteran.
