Because usually it's just the opposite, lose almost everyday for weeks at a time, then win HUGE on just one day's play, and show a net profit for the month...

To each his own pal. I'd rather have a somewhat happy medium, even with risky bets

I'm exaggerating both points of each post, buddy.....I'll say this again, "No one knows when they're going to win a bet".....the rest is all rhetoric.

I know I was just discussing the two types of hypothetical players in the interest of the topic.

This "long run" stuff is overrated, IMO. What I am looking for right now is a system which will allow me to live in comfort until the age of 82. I don't care if the system breaks me after that.

$100 Place 10 race 7 ($3.50)
Parlayed to the chalk to place in race 8 ($2.60)
Parlayed to place on the 1 in the 9th. ($3.70)
Not 1 massive opinion in a 3 race sequence.
My $130 turned into apprx $700 with little to zero risk.
You guys (including you Vic ) keep laughing, I'll keep cashing and getting more rebates |
Come on...couldn't you tell that I was kidding? I put up the smiley face, and everything.

My apologies. You're 100% right.  (I couldn't help myself, there might be 1 poster who hesitates from betting to show in a parlay and I don't want that poster/reader to do so).

Why don't they skip the track, hang outside the track with a tin cup.
They might make more

This guy has pretty good numbers and passes a lot of races. He gives Win & Place picks. He charges $10 per day, per track and texts his picks before each race.

You are describing bad players, who probably make marginal win bets with no data. I call them the geezer who box speed rating. Until you've have a strong understanding of your own unique edge, and play it, the potential for losing your retirement plan is high. You have to have your own strategy card, and then hit the bet buttons.

I'd point in this direction, if someone asked me how to make a living. Get good with supers.
