2024 Horse Racing Results
I decided to post my horse wagering results early this year. I know it is the start of Kentucky Derby prep racing season, but I am done placing bets for the year. Last week I had a couple things that didn’t go my way. First there was a scratch of one of my horses in […]
Low Budget Slot Strategy
I’ve noticed that YouTube slot channels are betting higher and higher amounts trying to outdo each other for views. No longer are low budget slot channels even remotely interesting after you watch someone bet $1000 or more per spin. Despite the large amounts, by the end of the video they always seem to win more […]
NYRA vs FanDuel
NYRA (New York Racing Association) has been having contract disputes with almost everyone these days. They cut off pari-mutuel wagering and live video to Twinspires (Churchill Downs), but shortly after reached an agreement. FanDuel’s contract with NYRA ended on 1 July, with NYRA opting to axe its content from the brand’s platforms on July 4th. […]
Canterbury Park 2024
Eight days into Canterbury Park’s 2024 season, I finally made it to the track to see some live horse races. The property has changed a lot with so many new construction projects around the track. I bought my tickets online the day of the race for $10 each (instead of $8 when you buy in […]

2024 Derby Prep Season
The 2024 Kentucky Derby prep racing season is in full swing. So far, I’ve had minor success trying to build up my wagering bankroll. Last week I cashed a win bet and a trifecta in the Risen Star Stakes. Again, this year I have been focusing on pick 4’s. So far, I have won 2 […]

8 for 8 at Canterbury
On Wednesday I ran one of my test picks on 8 races at Canterbury Park. I was contemplating going to the track but decided against it because 4 of the 8 races were for maidens. I collected picks from 6 of my favorite sources and then wrote down my own selections. In the first 4 […]
