This book is a must read for anyone heading to the
track. I have been a regular reader of Dean's columns
at Horseplayer Magazine and TVG's online newsletter
for almost five years. He shows you how to tackle
time and money management, both of which are seldom
dealt with in other racing books. Everyone can pick a
couple winners each day, but hardly anyone wins money
on that alone. This books helps you do the preparation
for the day's events and how to do smart decision
making right up to the start of each race. Daily and
annual money management are also covered--again,
realities of betting most authors don't deal with. The
tools tactics and philosophy shared makes this book a
definate for those that want a fresh perspective on
betting!

basis and overall management over the course of the
year are critical to success as a handicapper.
- Arnold emphasizes the importance of time management
to a handicapper. This includes both preparation for
the day's events and decision making right up to the
start of each race.
- Provide big picture statistics in racing that will
lead to new and fresh perspectives.
- Present handicapping tools, tactics and concepts
that will alter how you look at races.
- Show how all of these concepts are combined into a
sensible strategy that can be tailored to satisfy any
bettor's individual approach to handicapping.

This book is a waste of time and money. There's nothing in this book that's going to improve your handicapping skills or help you cash a ticket. The book deals mostly with the management of money, time and data (all poorly written). I am suspicious of the glowing tribute the previous reviewer gave this book The title of this book is 'A BETTOR WAY", I cannot think of "A WORSE WAY" to lose your money. If you want to improve your handicapping skills read books by Beyer, Davidowitz, Quinn, Ainslie, Scott and others. Without a doubt, one of the worse handicapping books I have ever come across..
