'Handicapping: Art of winning money
Monday, November 7, 1C33
Corr.s peocb think it's ell clamour and clary

sometimes all of the following information: the
other, at different dbtanca, in different condi
tions, and at different post positions; the previous
and recent record of the jockey (aho in different
situations); the condition of the trad; and how
lively the horse looks in the paddock and walking
on the track.
People also -use such data as: their a;-, the ae
.of a family member, the sound of significance of
the name of the horse (A co-worker named Bob
suriested he and I bet on a horse named Dob and
which, although it b the least fun part of the job,
sometimes leads to the discovery of tips my cus-
tcmers have thoughtfully hidden under the refuse.
!Iy customers sometimes ask me to give them .
tips on which horses will win which races which I
find difficult to do since I have never mastered
handicapping. Now beiting is important at the
race track, but handicapping as Shakespeare
would have said had he the occasion, is the thing.
Handicapping is not to be confused with tout

The main diHerence, as Damon Eunyon once
pointed cut, b money. A bettor who can predict
enough winners in time to leave the track with .
more money than he brought is a handieapper.
, Handicapping is like science: The apparent
connection between two elements is less impor
tant than the predictability one gives you about
the other or the more money you win, the
better handieapper you are.
- In three years of working at the track I have
still net mastered this subtle art But my confu
sion has not prevented me from observig the var
ious methods of ethers. In fact, that to part of the
reason for my confusion such a variety of

If this seems complicated, there are computers
available that are portable and programmed to
use track data to predict winners.
For the more theoretically minded, there are, of
course, theories, like the theory of the out-of-town
horses. This theory states that you should always
bet on the out-of-town horses in a race
because no one would transport a horse hundreds
of miles to lose a race. He did not explain what to
do when there are two or more horses from out of
town in a race. Bet on the horse from furthest
away, I suppose. The other thing that has to be
taken into consideration is: one number or com
bination of numbers will come up very often in a
given space of time. Some days most of the
winners will have the number two. Or four and
one will win the daily double for three days in a
row. v-
Well, you can see how complicated a thing han
dicapping is. I have decided it is far too compli
cated for me to ever sort out I have enough trou
ble sorting out which drinks go to which tables.
Kimball concert'
1 The encore, which Tyler admitted they just hap
pened to have" was based on a well-traveled mel
ody, anonymously written for a Medici wedding. It
was so popular all over Europe for the nest three
centuries, that many different ethic groups claimed
it as their own folk tune. It has now been immortal
ised as part of the Israeli national anthem. The Jutes,
cello, and violin were all plucked to accompany the
vdeals, making for an interesting end to the evening.
To those who attended the performance of the
London Early llusic Group, its one unresolved and
very dissonant chord was the realization that the
Kimball Performing Arts Series remains in danger of
severe budget cuts. Both Kimball and the Sheldon
Film Theatre represent the core of the vitality of the
university and indeed, of the entire Lincoln com
munity. There is an intimacy and an artistic diver
sity to be taken advantage of in the small, comforta
ble darkness of Kimball and Sheldon, without which
UNL ceases to truly serve its students' needs, ceases
to be a university and becomes a mere vocational
training center and parking lot for Nebraska's young
people.-- ;'
