I have been in love with handicapping horses for over 40 years, and I have been an enthusiastic bettor for just as long. I continue to participate in this game, but my enthusiasm for it has waned considerably. It occurs to me that horse betting is the "minor league" of gambling...and I aspire to elevate to the "majors". And the major league of gambling is sports betting, IMO. It's the new frontier...and no responsible gambler can afford to be left behind, as far as I am concerned. It's time to jump into the future, folks...and to leave the past behind.
