You have to have a pretty big edge over your competition if you are going to beat the takeout in this game...but it doesn't necessarily need to be a handicapping edge.
If you have the ability to control your emotions under pressure...if your financial situation is stable, and it allows you to operate without the constant strain of money worries...if you have adequate time to dedicate to the game, making sure that your work is done in a comprehensive, error-free manner...all these are advantages that give you a sizeable edge over the competition by themselves.
Out-handicapping the competition is not the only edge...avoiding the mental gaffes that most people make is another big advantage, IMO.
