No Handicapping Necessary – Sounds Great Until You Try it
The internet is full of scam artists that promise instant wealth in return for very little effort on your part.
All you need to do is give them X number of dollars, follow their ‘no handicapping necessary’ rules and you too can make money betting on horse races.
They want you to believe there is no thinking required and you don’t have to know anything about horse racing. Within weeks you’ll be making tons of money – all on auto pilot. How can you resist?
Hopefully, you know that life is not that simple.
The real money comes from selling these over-hyped systems to the ‘always hungry for a quick fix’ folks who buy a new system every month hoping one of them might actually work.
The ads on these websites are written by sales copy experts who know how to put you into an hypnotic trance. They pull in hundreds of sales. You are being tricked into thinking you’re buying something that actually works, when in fact you’re buying a rehashed system that probably never worked for more than a week or two – if it ever worked at all.
On one such website a woman claims she made $16,000 in two weeks through progression wagering. She tells you up front how she allegedly did it – a form of due-column wagering. She then tries to sell you her ‘Progressive Staking Calculator’ for the reduced price of $7.77.
The question that should immediately enter your mind is this: If she can make $16,000 every two weeks from betting on horse races, why does she need your $7.77?
When you see a website like this one, alarm bells should be going off in your head. Yet greed often overcomes common sense. People actually fall for the empty promises of instant wealth offered by such websites.
Don’t become a victim of due-column wagering.
To be a successful handicapper, you need to develop a plan that works, and stick with it. You need to filter out the hype.
Don’t let emails about the latest and greatest handicapping systems become a distraction. We are exposed to so much hype about horse racing that we often believe it. Yet, the marketers of most handicapping systems are only interested in one thing – getting you to part with as much money as you’re willing to give them. They don’t care if you win or lose.
You’ve likely heard the old saying, ‘If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.’ Let’s face reality. If you had a simple system that actually worked, would you sell it for the price of a night out at the movies?
Gerald W. Cohail started handicapping horse races as a young teenager in the early 1960s. After roughly 50 years, he has learned two certainties about making money from wagering on horse races. 1.) Never bet on a favorite no matter how good that favorite looks on paper. 2.) You cannot expect to make a profit from wagering on horse races if you bet on every race.
