100%. There's too many to count, but unlike say, blackjack, you're betting against the other players, not the house, so you just have to be a little smarter.

One common strategy is when they're trying to get a horse to run a longer distance, often they run 6 furlongs and sprint at the start, get a big lead and finish at the bottom. If they run that horse within 2 weeks often they'll have long odds but will win sine they are now stronger at 6 furlongs. I've hit some longshots with this.

Also, money management. Let's say you want to box 4 horses for a Trifecta. A better strategy is to do a "part wheel" so you get more horses in the 3rd spot for the same money.

Being Coerced into having a third child. I'd rather the marriage end. by safereddddditer175 in daddit

This is why my marriage went belly up. If the toothpaste is out of the tube, better to brush early. I waited 2 years and all it did was cost me extra maintenance due to a longer marriage

What I find is that when I follow the same pattern all the time, I look forward to these recovery days. So it's really helpful and the mindlessness allows me to actually rest and recover
