Come on guys, I asked for honesty in the poll.
There have been 60 voters thus far and at least 1/3 of that 60 win over $1000 per year. I find this very hard to believe.
If you must stoke your own ego, please take note that this poll is anonymous, nobody knows who makes or loses what. So, why lie about your success or failure.
For once in your life, tell the truth. If you find that impossible then please don't vote at all. Otherwise the poll is meaningless, and a waste of your time as well as everyone else's.

Come on you didn't know everyone on Pace is an above-avg gambler.  Personally, I selected win or lose $1k, and it's usually lose.

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  |
You lose 42% of your take-home pay betting on horses? Might be time to bet a lot less/race or far fewer races?!!

Are the people joking that say they win over 100k on horses? I find that impossible to believe.

Oh, if it's possible for you, be honest.

when ya leaving?
welp, if one looks at racing as "make a living" situation, which included a full time 40 hour per week needed and we use your quote of thousands (5,000/6.000), then your friend(?) would be el correcto.
However, we cant consider "it" a waste, just look at how far you;ve come,babe.

You got that right bigmack.

Two people answered that they LOSE 100K per year. 
I answered that I lose $1000 per year. I really lose more than that, but less than $5K. I just call it an "expensive hobby."

 Honest. I didn't make a hundred G's. If I did I'd rather give my $ 100,000 back than accept that offer. ( Whew, what class. )

Almost a million posts from over 18,000 members and you're the biggest fool of all.
How does it feel, Champ?
