Picking winners is only half the battle
How to bet those selections is equally as important.
It took the Stick a while to figure that out. After successfully handicapping a race, selecting the correct winner, and yet not cashing a ticket, Stick learned the importance of constructing effective tickets that maximize returns.
With so many different types of bets to choose from, the Stick will recommend bets to optimize your chances of cashing tickets to maximize your profit.
