I knew going into the track on Sunday that I have never been good at betting on horses. In fact, of the 3-4 times I’ve gone in the past, I’ve never won a bet. I couldn’t even tell you what to do with a winning ticket! One time I actually talked my friend out of a Trifecta pick. He had horses 1 and 2 selected and was in-between on the last pick. He was considering two horses and wasn’t sure which one he thought would come in third. I suggested one horse and of course had he picked the other he would have had the three horses in the correct order to win a lot of money.
We saw a total of seven races yesterday at Del Mar Racetracks and of the seven I bet on six of them, sometimes betting multiple times on one race. I didn’t win once. I thought for sure I would at least get lucky but no, I have come to the conclusion that I am cursed when it comes to betting on horses. My only hope is to bet on every horse in one race to guarantee a winning ticket (even though I would lose money) in an attempt to break the curse. I figure that would be a $15-$20 loss to break the curse but considering I lost way more than that yesterday at the track, it may be the best bet I could make.
