I must admit that anything to do with horse racing has always been a loser for me, to the extent that I'm amazed that anyone can make money long term on the horses without having fast pics and living and breathing horse racing.
But there's so much money changing hands and prime time every day, perfect, but unfathomable to me! So I gave up playing it seriously, but unfortunately still dabble in it for peanuts hopelessly looking to find something that works.
The question is, does anyone make money or know anyone that makes money long term (over a year) that doesn't use fast pics and read the horses, i.e. just makes money by playing with the odds and using some sort of method either pre off or in-running. I guess you must exist, so please sign in if it's you!
I've heard of people claiming to be successful layers, but that seems like dodging bullets to me, a bit like successfully laying correct scores for 6 months then getting hit by a 20.0 14.0 32.0 and 18.0 all in one day, which wipes the bank back to level.
So sign in horse geniuses... :)

OK....time to come out!
That's a big NO from me too! Can't fathom why it should be so difficult, but have tried every approach possible, for over seven frustrating years. The only good news is that I am, pretty much level, so perhaps I am close to the answer! Have to give it another seven years! |

Yes, and i know of 2 people who make a lot of money betting full-time....both purely form study, no info, no fast pics, backers rather than layers.....i'm more of a layer and form study helps restrict the bullets!
