Again, no disrespect meant, but:

A "positive expectation" can have more than one meaning to different players. It can mean that you expect to be successful, even though you haven't really been successful yet, long term, but think you will be. Which means, to me, that your love of the "job" hasn't yet produced long term profit, much less make more than "the guy who hates his job and feels the need to take days and weeks off".

A "positive expectation" can mean that you have already shown a long term profit, with your particular method, playing "every day and as many races as you can handle". In that case, more power to you, but, I've yet to hear of more than a couple doing that in racing (and they are whales, with state of the art software and equipment, that have many employees doing the majority of the "job").

The players, who handicap and wager as many races as they can, every day, and are also successful long term, and also think the job is fun and entertaining, can probably be counted on both hands, nationwide (maybe worldwide).
