I can't stand hearing Manilow sing.
Now 9/10th through the most redundant book I have ever read. He asks a million questions and answers none. Says maybe this maybe that. All his stats says nothing works so he says its up to the reader to "figure it out".
But he tortures you with the most banal details of things like weight carried, blinkers, jockeys, trainers etc while telling you nothing new. Just things you've heard a million times. Not only once but repeatedly throughout the book. Uncle!
I know BM is not as dumb as his book. I was hoping maybe he would talk about his show betting method that caused TS to tell him to stop betting. There is nothing about betting or the psychology of betting.
There is absolutely nothing written in this book that would improve your game. But there is a lot written that can make you worse as a handicapper than you are now.
If I handicapped with the mindset he puts forth in the book, I would jump off a bridge. I sometime felt like I was reading the words of someone in an insane asylum.
The book's sole purpose is obviously to make money. Extremely cliche. It's only because its a book written by a "celebrity author" that anyone pays attention. If it was written by a nobody, nobody would care.
