What is considered amazing results from an Handicapper? What will amaze you?

[Dave Schwartz]

Winning?

Seriously, anybody who can cross that finish line needs to be applauded.

[thaskalos]

Winning while making significant (for him) wagers. When betting far below his means, the horseplayer often appears to be a lot more "creative" than he really is.

[Tom]

Breaking even.
Or close to it.

Consistent value and long term profit.

I take it you mean in addition to a +roi, otherwise you can cross the finish line with the fav.

[Ocala Mike]

40% winning (top selection only) at an average mutuel of 2/1 or more. Seems easy - not many can do it in the long run.

Chris Longshot

Chris Longshot and Racetrack Playa and Dartman51. How cool would it be to start an operation that revolves around these 3. 👌🏽👌🏽💡💡💡💡💡💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵

I do not understand. (Might be humor that was lost on me.)

Those happy meals sure fill the stomach daily, while waiting for those steak dinners, which might not show up for a week or two......Looks like feast or famine to me.

Anyone that can do it does not need a day job.

Who is Chris Longshot?

[tanner12oz]

Consistency..

[Alwaysonpoint36]

Who is Chris Longshot?

He's the reason I joined. He's one of the most astute and humble handicappers I've encountered. Some of the plays he hits are beyond ridiculous. 😳😳😳😳💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰🔌🔌🔌

Chris Longshot


Boy howdy. He gets on a roll, watch out.

[ultracapper]

Who is Chris Longshot?

Gotta go to the selection discussions. Like the guy above said, he gets on a roll, man, he can pile it up.

[raybo]

Amazing?

Any player that makes long term profit from racing, regardless of the degree. How many can say that, truthfully?

I might add that, anyone who makes more long term profit than I do amazes me, because that takes inherent traits that I don't possess.

[castaway01]

I don't know about amazing, but anyone who shows a profit most years has my respect. There's always going to be those who say "Yeah, he did it with one big hit, what's his win percentage" or "Yeah, he wins a lot but they're all $8 horses, where are the longshots" but if you're in the black at the end of the year most years, you're better than 98 percent of your competition.
