I used to think that too. And then I met more than a few quite successful poker players, who managed to handle the psychological aspect of poker quite nicely, even though the losing streaks were just as prevalent there too. I just can't understand why there are so many more professional poker players than professional horseplayers...and this leads me to believe that the biggest hurdle in horse-betting is the complexity of the game, and the "economics" that govern it.
