It's a great answer.
Just don't know why you claim it as something only you have.

What do you think Foalin at 4 is missing from your "real life" criteria?

It’s a very honest answer!

Look how people post and respond here! 

should have to muck stalls for 10 years and that is as close as he ever gets to a horse
no license ever
also i think a few folks got in trouble based on his apparent breeding operation

Can you imagine a US president if they literally saved everyone life in our country from catastrophe, created a healthier America, a longer living population, brought peace and put the world on course to end division...they'd still be hated.

50% give or take.

One thing myself, Yourself, Mike, LUCPARK, PIGLAND, JOHN FRANK, Any1left and I'm probably omitting several have in common here, we don't give a shit what anyone thinks about us where we allow it to change who we are here.

the bolded is why handle is "retail" dropping off rapidly--but handle has been rendered meaningless as long as slot welfare is propping up the entire industry

it's called betting after the bell ....that is allowed otherwise there would be a massive handle loss

  I am really happy you post here because you are rare on this form and understand this game,   Years ago  i met a man in California that was one of the great handicappers on the planet and his name was jimmy the hat and i think he might have some videos online and Jimmy told me and 10-15 years ago that putting the tough puzzle of betting races was getting to easy and that would make him drop his bets because field were to short and prices were getting smaller every year,   Jimmy was featured on a breeders cup show a few times and was asked why he dominated the pik 6 pool in california like no one else and he just used the hard work theory and one of the funny things for me was every time i invested into his tickets it was a disaster and everyone i spoke with had great results but one day Jimmy told me that the rules always changed in gaming and he adjusted to the changes but new changes that were happening and payoffs being way to short that  it might be time to quit and that threw me into shock and i have now not spoken to him in years but he saw the this before i could see it.         Now getting back to what you were talking about PAPILLON i am really not sure how they are beating the system but for sure you are 100 percent right on money showing up after the bell and no gambler i have spoken to thinks anything else but i have heard many ways of how this is happening and it is happening,   This guys article brings nothing new to me or people i know ut he does a great job talking about it,   Dana Parham and many others have closed up shop when Elite came in because they could not compete and lets be honest for a group that bets 40 percent of money bet and claims it extracts value from seeing all moneys bet and seeing underlay after underlay win at all trot tracks it shocks me how they are not been investigated because they are not getting value from FLAMBORO WESTERN FAIR MOHAWK NORTHFIELD OR any harness track with winners dropping 80 percent in odds at times leaving a gate,       20 years ago fixing this game was about lowering rake and the drug issue getting to strong and its shocking to me that those issues are minor compared to the huge issues today,    Dead money has to be at a certain level for there to be a chance and that might never happen again.  I remember knowing many high end gamblers who posted on this site and all are gone and never coming back and this morning seeing this guys post about something that mattered was shocking because its been a long time and i thank him for his post.

Rainman, what is a "real life"?

You talk about others spewing the same nonsense over and over.   You are the poster child for that.

Good morning m,

Let me see-

Work and make $$$

Hang out and seeing my horses that I own a part of at sunshine meadows in the winter and traveling to watch them race in the summer.

In my case I get out to bowl competitively with my friends once a week and forget about the world for a few hours.

Invest in the market and keep up with what’s happening.

Socialize with my friends.

Other constructive things.

Are you satisfied with the answer?
