KINKY HANDICAPPING REVIEWS:
http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Best-Horse-Racing-Books Kinky Handicapping by Mark Cramer Cramer is one of the most entertaining and thought-provoking handicapping writers there is, andKinky Handicapping is his magnum opus. Cramer virtually invented the idea of unconventional handicapping as a way of uncovering hidden value, and here he offers ways to use pedigree handicapping, company lines, and other contrarian methods to beat the speed handicappers at their own game. http://community.tvg.com/t5/TVG-Viewer-Mailbox/The-five-handicapping-books-I-reread/m-p/291335 boguy123 Posts: 93 Registered: 07-28-2009 The five handicapping books I reread 08-30-2010 06:32 PM - last edited on 08-30-201006:34 PM These aren't necessarily the best handicapping books. They are books I like to reread to get back my mojo. I think speed figures have rendered most races unplayable, due to information overload. To beat the races, you have to go where the computer whizzes aren't. These books are not only good reads, but they've helped me uncovered longshots, which I feel is the key to long term winning. 1) Kinky Handicapping by Mark Cramer -- since picking up this gem last year, I've read it at least three times -- every-time something new is revealed. Its pretty expensive, I got it cheap on eBay. Try to at least borrow it from a friend. 2) Value Handicapping by Mark Cramer -- OK I promise the next three books will not be by Mark Cramer. The best part of this book is the idea that when you make your own line you can uncover Morning Line mistakes. The discipline required to create your own line leads to better betting. Believe me Cramer is about money management more than handicapping. The idea that an even money bet needs to have true odds of 3/5 to beat the take-out is sobering. You'll never bet the chalk again. 3) The Handicapper's Condition Book -- James Quinn -- I'm letting my dork flag fly with this one. But if you don't use speed figures and you're looking for longshots, you really need to understand Class. This is the best book on Class there is, bar none. Again everytime I read it, I have an a-ha moment. 4) Betting Thoroughbreds for the 21st Century -- Davidowitz. If you only have one book on horse racing in the house, this one will eliminate about 80% of the mistakes handicapper's make. Discussions are handled in a straight forward way. He hits a lot of topics, its an excellent reference. 5) The Psychology Of The Winning Horseplayer -- Hagerty. Everything in this book as it relates to the psychology of the horseplayer is informative and worthy of study. 4

The author’s background Mark Cramer’s against-the-grain travel writing has won praise from unexpected sources. His FunkyTowns USA (1995) has the rare distinction of having received glowing reviews in both a scholarly journal and a supermarket tabloid, while having been featured onCNN.Ray Oldenburg, author of the now classic The Great Good Place, wrote: “Superb entertainment for the armchair traveler, FunkyTowns USA is also a lesson in preserving human habitat in a society that needs, urgently, to do just that.” His books in the “Culture Shock” series went beyond the aims of that collection, ending up as assigned texts in university classes. HisCulture Shock! Bolivia promptedBolivia’s ambassador to the United Nations to commission Cramer to write his UN mission's website introduction to Bolivia. Ambassador Solón, a Bolivian historian, wrote: “Culture Shock! Bolivia is not only useful for foreign travelers but for Bolivians who have grown up knowing only fragments of the land where they were born.” Praise for Cramer’shorse race handicapping books is no less enthusiastic: “Cramer is one of the most entertaining and thought-provoking writers there is” (from the Hub Pages website) … And in a TVG Community website article, “The Five Handicapping Books I Reread”, Cramer books are the top two. The reviewer notes, “OK, I promise the next three books will not be by Mark Cramer.” Cramer has been profiled byAndrew Beyer in the Washington Post and has received praise from James Quinn and Tom Ainslie, two of the legends in this field. Mark Cramer’s book of fiction Scared Money (1994) received a Library Journalreview. It was subsequently re-published as a paperback. Of Scared Money, a reviewer who calls himself Factotum wrote: “…if Camus and Sartre had been concerned about who was going to win the fifth race atSanta Anita, they might have written something like this.” Mark Cramer lived in Bolivia from 1994 to 1999 while doinginvestigative reporting for local newspapers, and going hiking as high as 17,000 feet above sea level. Since then he has lived in France with his wife and son. He teaches at the prestigious Sciences-Po university inParis and is often interviewed on radio and TV about the issues of the day. He does all his commuting by bicycle.
