Gotta love the library and the internet - free info.......

Sounds really dumb but I read books on roulette and casino games... gave me a great understanding of odds and how the house always win...

I then got hold of every book i could on bookmaking....started to understand that bookies don't care who wins- the books are set at a percentage and they win regardless of the race result.

Thereby ensuring the average punter cannot win (with the odds they offer)....

Don Scott certainly knew about betting and bookmaking.... He was adamant that the only way to make profit is to bet "the overs".... he is worth a read ..
