One of the most overlooked tools to find good bets in horse racing is the morning line.  The morning line is supposed to be a general guide as to what the track’s handicapper thinks the horse’s odds will be at post time.  Depending upon the skill and effort of the handicapper it can be a rough guide or a very useful gauge.

Some handicappers stick to the guidelines and do give you the odds that they think the horses will go off at when the gate opens, while others get involved in the handicapping so much they lose sight of their objective and actually give you what they think the horse’s chances of winning are in the form of odds.  Whichever method or system they use, the main thing is to check them out and find out how accurate they are.

Once you know how accurate they track’s handicapper is and how much credence you can place on his or her  line, the next thing to do is to compare the morning line to the actual odds.  I like to do this early, as soon as the odds are posted for the race, and then 5 minutes before the race and then 2 minutes before the race.  Getting an idea of how the runners are being bet and then seeing the final result can help you to spot good bets in the future.

The morning line can also help you to spot good bets that have been overlooked by the crowd.  If the track’s handicapper is good and has knowledge of the local trainers and backside information, then he or she may know something about a horse that the crowd will overlook.  Let’s say the morning line on a maiden runner is 7-2 but you see the horse going off at 10-1, you have to ask yourself, “What did the track handicapper see that the crowd missed, or what did the handicapper miss that the crowd is seeing?”

Those are very important questions.  Sometimes you’ll get lucky and the handicapper will give comments on each race and may mention why he or she had so much confidence in that horse.  Then there are other times when you will have to dig a little.  Either way, if you see a big discrepancy in the odds, you should be doing some fast detective work because you may have a good bet sitting under your nose.

You don’t always have to wait for the actual odds, though.  Sometimes, after you have handicapped the races, it is good to look at the morning line and then look at your own comments and opinions of the horses.  Have you overlooked something?

While just using the morning line alone as a horse racing system is a poor way to make money betting on horses, it is helpful because it is another set of eyes looking over the entries and offering an opinion that is often based on a thorough knowledge of the local trainers and riders.  This is particularly helpful if you are playing simulcast tracks outside your usual  area.  When playing in handicapping contests, it should be one of your tools to check your own opinions before filling out your betting slip.

The New York Times had problems created by an unauthorized advertisement. Its website contains a rogue ad displayed in their banner ad spaces.

What is a rogue ad? A rogue ad is a type of advertisement online which will convince you purchase, download or install an application into your computer. That application can bring problems to your PC. It alerts the readers that their computer may be infected with a virus redirecting to a site that offers antivirus software. It’s like a Trojan horse which will tell you to click something to make your computer faster or warn you that you have to fix your Windows problems. You may think that this ad is beneficial for you only to know that it is just displaying ads on your computer or redirecting you other sites. Visitors who clicked on these ads, experienced abnormal operations on their computers such as popup ads or hijacked internet connections.

So how did the New York Times website get the rogue ad? New York Times is a victim of a social engineering bait-and-switch at the human level. They were approached by a person buying an internet ad space on their website. At first, the ad seems to have no problem but it was exchanged for a suspicious ad a few days later. The attacker of this rogue ad did this for monetary gain to get money or to steal credit card numbers. The ad will offer you a download to fix problems that you are unaware of. They will ask you to enter your credit card to buy some software. You will also be redirected to other websites where you can buy things from them.

NYTimes solved the problem right away and removed the ads. According to security site GeekPolice.net, best-antivirus03.com is the hijacker using fraudulent to promote fake security software. For now, be careful in browsing sites that are promising so many good things, like free music or movie downloads. Keep away from those sites and don’t even click those ads.

Here are the steps to protect you against rogue ads:

1. Stay away from websites or ads telling you have computer problems (ads cannot diagnose your PC).

2. Always keep your antivirus running and updated.

3. Allow parental controls to prevent unauthorized downloads.

4. Avoid clicking the “cancel” button to make these windows disappear. Try clicking the little red “X” in the upper right hand corner instead.

5. Never input your credit card number into websites unless you are definitely sure with the product you are buying.

6. Turn off your computer quickly if you suspect that there’s something wrong. The longer you stay online, the worse infection you can get from it.

Attackers have been targeting big sites like New York Times, to get money or steal credit card numbers from computer users. For now, you should be careful in browsing websites and clicking ads to keep you and your PC secured. Do you want to keep your computer clean and protected?
