For the month of January, TVG has a late pick 4 promo running on Wednesdays at Gulfstream Park and Fridays at Santa Anita. Last week I managed to get 3 out of 4 races correct and missed out on a $296.90 payout. After coming so close, I decided to work on an Excel spreadsheet macro […]

2022 was the first full season of horse racing since the pandemic began in 2020. At the end of the year, I like to check out my Fanduel (TVG) account summary wagering results. This past year I deposited $980 and withdrew $455. Ideally, you want to withdraw more than you deposit, but I only withdraw […]

This past month it has been a challenge for me to place a winning wager. I have found that certain times of the year it becomes more difficult.

For the 2022 racing season Canterbury Park in Minnesota announced that they had changed to 1st Bet as their official betting app. Previously, they used an onsite web portal called “BetCanterbury”. I liked using their web portal. You could wager on Canterbury or races at other tracks. The only thing it didn’t have was handicapping […]

I like to play pick 4’s when TVG (FanDuel) is having a promo where if you win 3 out of 4 you get your money back. This past month a promo was running on the late pick 4 on Saturdays at Remington Park. On 09/17/2022 I put in a $9 ticket with 3/3/2/1 horses in […]
