The inclination to "last" the entire card is probably the single worst method of money management. Second is spreading to the point where dilution severely reduces any real chance to make money.
Without the discipline to pass races you will have little chance to hold your own over time.Zeroing in on certain plays for the card has been helpful to me.Paying close attention to how races are being won is also important(any bias).
My personal method is to read the form ONLY first, look for spots(weak favorites,race set up, etc) and then look at TG.I find things jump out more in following that sequence of reviewing races.
Re multi race wagers,I agree with Jerry that following one or two circuits closely is about the only realistic shot you have to hold your own.Re the pick six,I'm sure that many of you know that there are several syndicates with big bankrolls hitting the all button in a few legs. The greatest handicapper is no match for the all button so tread lightly on big carryover days.
