Horse Racing 101: When to Not Bet
If you have recently discovered the wonderful sport of horse racing, you may realize that you have a lot to learn. There are many things a beginner should educate themselves about before betting on a race. One of the more important things to learn is when you should NOT place a bet.
Betting on the race can be exhilarating. It is easy to get caught up in the fun once you start. The whole point in placing bets is to win money. This is why it is important to learn when you should take a pass.
* Do not bet in a Maiden race a first race for a horse with no record . They are very unpredictable and the results vary so it is best to hold off.
* Handicap races with more than 16 runners are unpredictable and you should skip the betting. There is always a better race to bet on.
* Never place a wager in an Apprentice race. There are some great apprentice jockeys around but you want a pro that knows what it takes to win the race.
* Do not bet in a race with more than 2 first time starters.
* When the weather takes a turn for the worse, it can be harder to choose which horse to bet on. You want to find a horse that has competed well in similar conditions in the past. If there are none in the race, pass.
* If the horse is sweating, limping, walking with head down, or seems inattentive, weary and distracted, then there are less chances that it will win.
* Dont bet if you cannot afford to lose.
These tips can stop you from throwing away your money. Now that you know when not to bet, you can begin learning about the other aspects of betting.

Gumball Machines Vs. Soda Machines
If you ever thought about buying gumball machines, I know you probably thought of buying those big soda and snack machines.
Well I have thought about them too, I was really close to getting into the business. But let me tell you one thing gumball machines is passive income, soda and snack machines are not.
If you want a job then by all means go and buy soda and snack machines.
If you want a very part time, work one day out of the month, very good extra income type of business then bulk vending is for you.
I don’t want to discourage you if you were thinking about going the soda machine route but I just want to let you know that it is not as part time as most people think.
Bad Things about Soda and Snack Machines 1. Have to service your machines at least once a week.
