Betting on horse racing is not like betting on roulette, you can't reduce the odds against you at roulette.

You can reduce the odds against you at horse racing through study and knowledge, but that doesn't mean you can win.
It just means that some punters can make their money last longer.

And those who can win at horse racing take good care to keep what they know to themselves.

everyones brain has an algorithm, not much difference between a gambler and scientist, both are studying data
and maybe if your lucky enough, you can make discoverys of your own, and vastly improve your own knowledge.

not strictly true if u know the speed the ball is going n the speed the wheel is going u can win at roulette

Then surely if you know which is the fastest horse in the race, you can win at horse racing?

Let me know how you get on.

For most horse racing punters such as myselfBlush our selections at times
are little more than a guess....so taking into account bookmakers over rounds and betfair commission,
we are probably betting to a worse percentage than roulette, so in that sense you are right DO WAH DIDDY

But that is not the whole story. I would think premium charge players on here win their money on sports betting
not Betfair roulette. And some punters on here, a minority, with some skill, experience and hard work do turn a modest profit.
I do not think either of these things would happen if they were playing roulette.

I would think Steven Hawkins and other top scientists earn considerably more at what they are doing than they ever would
from sports betting. Also winning is not just about intelligence, it is also about being a good gambler, this requires both nerve
and control. Gambling is by its very nature a gamble, the uncertainty would not suit everyone, we are only ever as good as our last winner.

Still if you can win more playing roulette than sports betting ...dont let me change you DO WAH DIDDY...
I enjoy your postsHappy
becuase winning is hard.

Horse racing is so much more interesting than roulette.
I would think studying black holes is even more interesting...
oh that I had their brain
although they are probably thinking, how can I find my next winnerLaugh

Studying black holes can be interesting, but studying string theory is much more entertaining!

I hope this clarifies the matter!

The news that DWD has been chatting with Harvard-educated mathematicians will send a shiver down every bookmaker or casino owner's spine. Heaven only knows what carnage they are in for.

We, the humble punters, would do well to pay heed to the Great Man's insights. A mouth-watering proposition indeed.

You would think so, but it isn't. And science is not at all well paid, even if you're at the top of your field.

He is the exception though. And if he didn't have his electronic voice and chair he would just be another top physicist who the vast majority wouldn't reconize.

Cheesey Hawkins also seems to benefit from some unwritten fatwa that goes something along the lines of 'You can't disagree with anything he says, simply BECAUSE he's Cheesey Hawkins'.

Something that is only known to us scientific intelligentlemensia is that Mr Hawkins was a popular music star!
His voice is featured here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTFCwKvlKZo

i don't have the time to read this thread all the way through so apologies if this has already been raised but of course you won't be able to win if the book is 105% over-round but the markets on here are not, they are generally a little over 5% once you add in the commission

maybe you explained things wrongly to him

Happy, perhaps you could get your alter-ego (AllBlack) to read the whole thread?

Then you and yourself could have a meeting to discuss it when you both have the time. Cool
