Argues that how to bet is as important as who you like, especially in the 21st-century world of horse racing, where a new menu of wagers such as the superfecta and pick four have overtaken the familiar win, place, and show betting of yesteryear. Both serious and casual horseplayers will benefit from understanding the strategy and mechanics of making these complex wagers. Crist explores each of racing's exotic wagers, including exactas, trifectas, superfectas, doubles, pick threes, pick fours, and pick sixes. Drawing on his personal experiences as a bettor and as a racing journalist and executive, he outlines both the common mistakes made by the betting public and some alternative approaches that can lead to more profitable returns and to greater enjoyment of an endlessly intricate and fascinating game. He also explores a wide range of practical issues, including the advantages and pitfalls of betting on the sport's biggest events, such as the Triple Crown and Breeders' Cup, and the unfairly onerous requirements imposed on exotic bettors by the Internal Revenue Service. Whether you're a two-dollar bettor considering his first exacta or a high roller regularly chasing seven-figure jackpots, this book will forever change the way you look at and wager on horse racing. 201 pages hardbound, June 2006.
