How much money do you make or lose each year on racing?
I think I may be losing touch with reality, after seeing someone say that making thousands of dollars on racing wasn't worth their time. Here's a poll on gains and losses, please set me straight so I don't go to the grave wondering if what I've been doing for half my life was a waste of time.
Oh, if it's possible for you, be honest.

I will say per year is tricky. It is still, after all, gambling.

Yeah I thought about that after posting the poll. Maybe an average would do.

Remember guys/gals, this is about wagering only, no other income counts.

I figure I lose around 15000 a year...I figure this based on I make 750 take home dealing cards...I leave early usually after 6 hours so that's 36000 cash my rent is 1250 a month tv is 125 electric 100 food gas 100 a week and say 300 a month on everyday expenses so 36000 minus all expenses the fact I have like 700 in my pocket equals me being stuck 15000
U can't win I hit a pick 6 at hol for 16500 me and my friend partners...I won 5400 last year but before that I walked out losing 82.6 percent lol...
Now I win playing cards so that offsets it
The moral of the storie is if god never invented/created horses I'd have a ton
But if god didn't create horses it would mean more time with the woman....worth losing

How do you expect to stand a chance in this game if you don't have the wherewithal to spell story?
You might like horses but I'd avoid plunking money on 'em.

Has anyone done about the same in multiple years? I've only really sunk money into it for 2 years now but both years have been completely different in results (I tell my wife I just got better at it the second year).
Maybe those that have done it for a long time can average it out for a per year number.

the wherewithal ? and a spelling lesson too, from a pedant in the middle of the desert at 1:30 in the morning. If you told it to a mule, he'd kick you.
You spelled your name wrong too. Shouldn't it be Big Mac ? or is too many of them what made you Big Mack ?

I do about the same most years if I play about the same number of days. This is because I don't play the pick 6, and I play enough races every year to effectively reduce variance.

The depth of stupidity.
Some rube who spells story, 'storie'
Mindless goofs who talk about the time of day and can't figure out time differences. A workin' stiff dealing cards and pissing away $15K on nags. And a Teamster trying to connect the spelling of a moniker to a fast food sandwich.
Some big brains goin' on here.
