A lot of you may have been asking yourselves over the last 6 months, “Where’s Willie? Horse Racing Handicapping tips are hard enough to come by without Willie taking a powder!”

I am sorry for that, but I have been putting up what I consider to be helpful articles written by some of the best handicappers I know. Believe it or not, for a little while, I was Hollywood Willie, not the Hollywood dog track, now known as Mardi Gras, for reasons that escape me. Also not the Hollywood horse track in California, though I did visit it while out there in California.

No, I mean the real deal, Hollywood California where I strolled through a few movies and TV shows as an extra and flirted with fame.

But now, it is back to the East Coast and handicapping horse races, both harness and thoroughbred, and wondering about the fate of greyhound racing.

Here is my latest tip on handicapping and betting on horse races. It is all about the money. I have been doing a study and in the last three weeks I have an ROI of around 40% and a strike rate of 29% and I have not cracked open a form or program. I have just been following the money and betting when a horse is live.

I use the BETPAD interface and that is why I have started advertising it on my site. It is very helpful for tracking the money in ways that are taught by Bill Peterson, et. al.

So the thoguht for the season as we gear up for Aqueduct and Santa Anita is, follow the money and only bet alive horse, and of course, lay off the favorites, too many are getting stiffed lately.

I would like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support. The thousands of people who visit this site every month, despite my spotty record of publishing horse racing handicapping information, is a testimonial to how hard each of you works at this challenging sport of horse racing.

We all know how hard it is to make a profit and though we compete against each other in the pools, we do have a common bond.

So happy holidays to each one of you and I hope Santa or the Solstice Fairy, or whoever or whatever you believe in, leaves a few good long priced winners under your tree or at your door.

And remember, you are always welcome to contact me with questions or comments and will find many of the systems I use at williewins.homestead.com

Seasons Greetings,
Willie
