hi revs

http://espn.go.com/horse-racing/twinspires

the espn link gives a range of tracks with prices for upcoming races .. but please keep in mind the tote prices can range from inaccurate to wildly inaccurate in relation to final prices when a race jumps as most of the early pricing is the minor on-course money until the off-course money is added to the pool about 2 mins from advertised post time

if espn don't have that meeting then google the local track as quite a few tracks provide their own video feed

if you don't subscribe to espn you will need to refresh your browser through Internet Options - Delete - delete cookies as the espn site only gives you 15 mins free viewing and after 10 mins will start its pop ups telling you this

all the best

not really arvee

the trouble with tote prices and why they are unreliable (not always of course) is that there are large syndicates with accumulated funds that dump their money into the pool late .. and .. spread it across sometimes many runners

one of these syndicates actually worked out of Australia as we came to find out later .. and according to court (tax case) records were actually investing billions per year .. through the US totes ... and getting up to 10% (yes) rebate on their losses

apparently they were only making 3-4% on the win bets .. BUT .. with the 10% rebate on losses made a profit on the USA racing .. even though their computer databases were possibly losing or making minimal profit on races over a period

everyone should be making their own markets I would venture to say (what they think emotionally even or mathematically is better lol which gives them a set of their own prices with which to enter the betting)

you won't be right with them and it will frustrate you

I've seen guys here write that the USA racing is **** because the short prices faves always get rolled

were they entitled to be short priced faves though .. each to his own there .. maybe the pricing was loaded by the syndicates to achieve maximum rebate potential and they also had money on the longer priced winner

it'a a minefield racing .. tread carefully .. bet within your means .. and good fortunes

if I have a current interest in one factor I could say that ... what do you do with a horse that .. at its most recent start .. has put in a shocker (like a short priced fave for example) .. what do you do with that horse next start .. forgive it the run for whatever reason or discard it from consideration

have a top days guys
