There can certainly be a positive argument made that’s related to using 3rd party sources for getting good information and acting on it in a variety of fields.
Two immediately come to mind: Sports Betting in general and the Stock Market. Although they’re significantly different in many respects both offer risk opportunities to make money. They also include those who claim proficiency in their fields like the Sports Pro Handicapper and professional Financial Advisers.
These people offer advice (for compensation) to those who don’t have the time or expertise to make educated appraisals of things they themselves want to be involved in. Of course similar to other disciplines you’ll find the good, the bad, and the ugly which are commonly weeded out through the referral process.
So why would a sincere interest in playing the horse racing game preclude anyone from using the same sort of resources?
