Default Gambling Realization

does any here or do you know anyone that gambles on horse racing for a living or a means of income?

does anyone here have trouble wagering only on a selected race of the day?
is it possible to wager only 1 or 2 races a day that are close enough to call a "sure thing " ? regardless of win-place or show.

i think it is possible. i know that there is at least 1 race a day that i could predict with uncanny accuracy.

i believe the real winning answer to successful betting is discipline.
(absolutely the hardest part is the mindset and discipline)



unrelated - did anyone here read jerry baily's or gary stevens books?

Dude, we bet on a colleague's Boston Marathon time today at work.

'Nuff said.
