Overview

In 64 pages, this comprehensive little guide shows first-time and experienced players how to play and win at the racetrack. The book is designed so that in one reading, first-time and novice players get a feel of what's involved in horseracing, understand how to read the racing charts, and are knowledgeable not only in how to bet, but to make the bets which give them the best chances of winning. Cobb shows readers how to understand the racing program; what the horseracing terms such as bug, Pick Six, maidens and weight allowance means. Players learn how to make win, place and show bets, and how to bet the Daily Double, quinella, Pick Six and Exacta, what the differences are between Stakes, Handicap, Allowance, Maiden and Claiming Races, and even how a bettor can go to the track and come back owning his own race horse! Each bet and strategy is outlined in a step-by-step fashion, with 11 charts clearly illustrating all points made. Cobb emphasizes the fun of the sport and best of all, shows players how to win. Includes a full glossary.
