Exotic Betting: How to Make the Multihorse, Multirace Bets that Win Racing's Biggest

Steven Crist


Purchase this title at B&N

Exotic Betting 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.
