I've been over this so many times in the past, including trotting out my betting history in a live workshop to a public naysayer, who, ultimately kept his promise and publicly admitted what he had seen.
The point is that everyone knows how to handicap.
And everybody is an expert.
Meanwhile, horse racing eats experts for breakfast.
My question was not an accusation, or an inference that Mr. Scamper was not a winning player.
It was simply a logical question to ask before making the effort to try to understand the advice he was offering.
I'm very fortunate in that many players reach out to me. They tell their handicapping stories. They explain how they handicap.
When I ask that question, the majority of horse players tell the truth.
Now, just to be clear, just because someone is not a winning player does not mean they don't have good ideas. In fact, I am currently working with about a half dozen such players.
I help them and they help me.
How do they help me?
By opening my mind to their thinking process.
For me, it is like a whiteboard session with someone who can clearly articulate their process.
These are collaborations, not coaching and there is no charge.
I just can never tell where the next great idea will come from.
But the source of these ideas must be vetted and that vetting begins with that simple question.
"Are you a winning player?"
If, after all these decades of my posts, my books, my videos...
If, after all that, you doubt that I know what I am talking about, a day or two of me betting live will not be enough to convince you.
