terms like "nickel and dime' and "grinden out a profit" and stuff like that are overused clishqed terms that make no sense. if by nickel and dime you mean not making 500k in one bet then yes.
Actually, about 25% of my profits came from 2 bets. the pacific classic and another race at hollywood park that was an allowence race.
It sounds like you may make a profit but no more than an average low paying job overall.
you sure are assuming alot without knowing anything whatsoever about how I bet or how much my bankroll is or what I did before I got into this but that's fine
If we worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true really is true, then there would be little hope for advance
instead of actually asking questions, you are attacking my creditability and calling me poor. witout knowing anything other than the fact that ovbiously I have a passion for horse racing, which is why I come here. that in itself tells me alot. That I will not take thet ime to respond to because there is no point.
I have done nothing to anyone in this thread, yet I am getting attacked from all sides. why? honestly? I wanted to respond to the first poster who had a legit question, and the thread has become nothing more than "prove bdw wrong". I have no reason to lie to anyone here. hell look at my post count, I'm online enough. Ovboiusly I do something that lets me stay home all day long. I post picks for the hell of them. I miss some I hit some.
here I am, willing, eagerly willing at that, to answer any question anyone might have on anything I do in regards to handicapping
If you, and by you I mean anyone are trying to convicnce yourself that handicapping can't be done and made a lifing off of, by tearing me down, you are wasting your time. I don't go into what I have/don't have because it's none of anyone's business on this forum but I'm not living on the street and I'll leave it at that.
if anyone has any legit questions that don't have nasty undertones, please feel free and I will talk all day long about actual handicapping, but this defending what I do for a living, not CAN i do it for a living but w hat I actually do for a living, is getting silly.
