I was 17 1/2 when I met harness racing. I was almost 19 when I met my wife.
She has certainly put up with me. I thank her often.
That's great, and actually very impressive that longevity and appreciation. Women as I found it will tolerate a lot, but not neglect. I haven't found my perfect woman - a deaf, dumb, blind beauty who is an orphan with no children

It took about 10 years for me to discover you could get something back on every bet. I call that my "tuition" phase. After paying that for a decade, I spent the next 3 decades riding that education.
The past few years I have cut way back. My handle is down to about 20% of what it was, and that is sometimes forced.
When TRN (not RTN, but its precursor) debuted, I was in heaven. I was not tied to the track anymore. That led me to discover a sequence of ADWs and other options that turned it completely around for me.
I don't need to be as hungry any more, but it will always be on at some point, every day. My nuclear family is all gone, so that makes this the longest mainstay in my life. I met my wife after I met harness racing.
Makes sense you met her after harness racing, took that long to find a woman with 200 IQ to put up with your 300

Not a single time. That is because I decided the money was made in bonus/rebate/discount, as well as off-shores that did not co-mingle. Now if you want stories about those, I'd have to have an idea of who you are, but I imagine I could tell a few.
I fell in love with the game, that's for sure. But it was obvious to me that there were few people in it that I could, or would, trust. I'll add one more to my list!
Just my opinion, based on my life.
Sounds like you're out of the game, but still enjoy being around it. If that''s the case, and you were doing well, I'd have to wonder if the game was getting impossible to beat for someone like yourself who claims to have taken a virtually flawless approach. Is that the case?

Name one track that actually bets enough money to cover the cost of racing? International Sound, United Tote, RTN, Judges, Paddock workers, Track crew
