![]() Sorry to hear about the rough and tough days. It certainly ain't easy making a living playing the horses.

You can always eat your betting money . . . but you should never bet your eating money. Seemed more thought provoking at the time, LOL. Eric |

![]() About six months ago, back when "He Who Must Not Be Named" (i.e., Oracle) was still here, I started a thread on a topic close to this one. Some interesting thoughts were expressed:

![]() I've been cold lately, too - feel like I could "tri-box-all" an Australian field of 14 2-year-olds and still lose.
At first I wondered if it was only the three-year-old races (as they often take huge jump-ups in ability during the summer), but nah, it's everything. I'm still handicapping the same. It's not synthetic surfaces. Didn't go through a summer slump last year, so don't know, but yeah, I've noticed a difference in my bottom line .... |

Been on a "freshening" since the Sunday after the Belmont for the same reasons. Looking forward to July 25th. |

![]() i've kept track of every bet i've made since 1999.
i can show you i've lost money betting horses every year except one. i can't imagine i could make a living doing this. but i haven't extrapolated that conclusion as far as you have. why couldn't someone make a living doing this? there is no law of large numbers like with most casino games and slots. you are betting against other players. the house takes an egregious rake but there is nothing that says a skilled player can't overcome 15-25% off the top. i think it would be a miserable grind. i think the emotional toll of a losing streak when it's your livelyhood would be a nuke compared the the m-80 i feel when i lose disposable income. but it's not beyond imagination that someone smarter than us, more dedicated than us, whose emotions can take the swings, and whose sole focus is racing couldn't make some kind of living at it. |
