It Can Be Done

If not then I want to be the first one to do so, and if not then maybe we could share the light on the others you may know who have succeeded in this business and are now very successful.
There are plenty of people making a decent living playing the ponies, this much I am sure of, more than we may think, as most successful handicappers are loner type's and keep the strategies close to the vest, why not , makes sense.
Well I am at a Mid-Life point and have hit rock bottom, but I now have a chance to pursue my dream, "The Horse's", and I feel I have the right people around me to help me get there, but wanted to explore if others were in my shoes and had any advice, as I am definetly open for any and all advice, except for any negative and demeaning advice, of course.
I hope this post is taken the right way and maybe some good can come from it, and not too many ,"Hey stupid what'ya doing , comments", and let a man pursue his dreams and enjoy the ride to success, no matter how long the journey is...
Thanks

Keep at it. Patrick. There are secrets and guidelines to follow. Want to bet for a living ? . Bet on one circuit only, to start out with. Bet To Win. Minimize your plays, as much as possible. Never bet on Favorites. Pass races with Strong favorites. Bet all official method plays. Remember all unofficial plays, will lose guaranteed. I have known many great handicappers and aspiring pros , smarter than me but they kept betting side-bets and always losing. Then they would chase the losses and lose more. If you master one circuit, then you can look at another circuit. There is a pro who makes 100,000 a year betting at Sunway Park only. This can be done and it is being done.. Like Dick Mitchell has said. Our goal should be 25 percent winners at a 10 dollar average. People who don't think it can be done. Don't do it, period. People that are doing it. We do it. Period
