Ya know, maybe something like this can't be taught, you just have to learn by experience, but what I think I would really like to learn is how to take advantage of my gut instinct without getting lost in the numbers. Yesterday was frustrating. I played the ROTW and some Belmont. I thought Octave would go # 2 but didn't play that way. I picked a straight exacta, tri and super in another race but forgot about betting them all because I got lost in the supers. To my chagrin, I saw them written on my sheet when I was checking my results. I picked another super and thought about putting Ballistic up front and said Nah- All in all if I had followed my impulses instead of thinking too much, I might have walked away with about 700 for an investment of 10 bucks. I think I am listening and trying to make up my own mind, and I know losing is part of the game. Can someone tell me how to take action when you "just know" and stop trying to handicap instead of keeping my head in the bets possible?
