Aren't the whales like Benter enough evidence?
I don't even need evidence.
I feel certain that if I had a team of people with advanced degrees in probability, statistics, and AI using a large database of information and a team of experienced horse players inputting trip notes and other subjective information, I'd be able to make much better odds lines than I do now on my own.
The real question for me is whether after 4 decades of studying this game and ever increasing knowledge is the game passing me by because other people with better math and computer skills are pooling their talents and using machines that allow them to move at a much faster rate.
If so, it may be time to take out my pool cue and get back in stroke if I still want a chance at profitable gambling action.
