A melancholy thought about playing the races can be stated simply and succinctly. If your opinion is the same as the betting publics, you have no edge, and therefore no bet.
As most people know, at the races the handicapper is playing against the crowd, which sets the odds with their wagers. The handicapper's task is to establish a personal betting line which can be compared to the crowd's.
Making a betting line is a skill that develops with experience. It is best done analytically or intuitively, using all the handicapping factors that apply to the race, not mechanically or mathematically, using a few handicapping factors of choice.
When the handicapper decides the crowd has made a mistake, that's an edge, and it's time to play.
The difference is the difference between losing and winning.
