Summary: Another good one from Crist.
Steven Crist, Exotic Betting: How to Make the Multihorse, Multirace Bets that Win Racing's Biggest Payoffs (DRF Press, 2006)
There are a whole lot of books out there about how to select winning horses. There are very few about how to responsibly bet them. (Offhand, I can only think of two authors who have covered this subject in any detail-- Mark Cramer and Barry Meadow.) Steve Crist dives into that water with Exotic Betting. As the title suggests, he focuses on exotic bets.
While those who have been reading Crist in column form for years aren't likely to find much in here they haven't already seen, it's nice to have all of this stuff collected into one volume. Horse grading, syndicates, main and backup tickets, all the stuff he's been telling us about forever in one book. A handy reference manual, as it were. *** ½
Summary: The Most Important Horseplaying Book in 30 Years
If you've ever picked nearly 37% winners over three months, or picked nine in a row, including a 15-1 shot, and still have gone home stooping for tickets in your Hanes, this book is for you.
Wise, relentlessly tested,"Exotic Betting" has an almost Buddhistic approach to thoroughbred wagering: Lose the ego, the King-of-the-Handicappers mentality, allow yourself to be wrong in the right spots and then bam, you're on your way.
Not since Andrew Beyer's "Picking Winners" 30 years ago has a book given horseplayers more hope. An obvious must.
