Handicappers will tell you that betting on horses takes a strong game of strategy. Others will say it's all about luck.

Countless hours spent reading the Daily Racing Form and studying the horses at your home racetrack are all part of the game plan. You bet what you know time after time and take your chances at the out-of-state tracks.

All the while you play tournaments all over the state in hopes of one day making it to the big show: The National Handicapping Championships at Bally's Las Vegas today and tomorrow.
