Did You Have a Winning Year in 2015?
It's time to stare in the mirror and fess up, ask yourself, "How did I do in 2015?" Personally, I had a winning year, which made up for the losses incurred in '14, plus a bit extra. Key for me was tournament play, which had me scrutinizing races I would have passed on in live play. I was sharper more than ever between the months of April to the end of August. I also took more week long breaks to keep from getting stale from the endless replays I watch and notate. Smaller tracks also became a stronger focus for me, with several breakthroughs, model-wise. Anyway, How did you actually do in 2015?

ADW bets: 5562.00 (Win/Place only,about 90% win, 10 % place)
Winnings: 5213.20
ROI 0.94
The way I look at i, I didn't lose 350 dollars, I had enjoyable experiences for about 7 dollars a week.

I had a losing year. First one since 2011. Had a couple funky runs. I had 8 winning months. September was a disaster. I had 2 place horses out of 19 bets. Just a freaking disaster.

I did well in 2011 and 2012 lost a little in 2013 and 2014 and last year broke even. 2011 was my best year ever due to the fact I had the tri and super in the derby, also had the tri in the derby in 2012, but didn't catch the super.

I bet 37,800 and got back 38,600....biggest hit was $824
It was probably a fantastic betting result and its why the 20 year olds are turning to poker

$0 bet, $0 returned.

Up $21,000 mid $19,000 after data. Contest driven, had a lot of fire power and tried new bets, pick 5, rainbow 6, I always thought if I had more money to fire at them I would be better at them. Turns out I am not, gave me some peace of mind and I found I am a much better win bettor than I ever knew.
