The late Don Scott once wrote that the best form of exotic betting is the trifecta. I think he was right. Don said picking a trifecta winning bet was a test of skill rather than a game of chance. ...

One of the most vexing problems facing punters is to decide how much betting their pockets can stand. To put it another way: can you afford to bet as much as you are betting? Or, is your betting ...
