The 2-Minute Man

[mountainman]

So dubbed for his strategy of making significant win wagers at 120 seconds to post, the self-described "professional horse player" texted proof of some 550k taken down over the course of a single afternoon just recently.

The 30-year-old resident of Chicago disdainfully eschews all computer methodology or pre-fabricated past performance features including (but not limited to) self-generated odds-lines; pre-assigned running styles or pace-rankings; any sort of "power" or "class" ratings..etc..etc.

"If it's not real and raw, I never look at it," he says. Perhaps best characterized as a flexible and intuitive handicapper, the 2-minute man stresses trips (which he claims "99.9 % of bettors don't truly understand"), race flow, trainer intent, and form cycles, while approaching various tracks and distances in different manners.

I can't speak to the guy's bottom line, but have seen screen shots of other significant hits, and can't recall being quite so impressed by a player. As you might expect, he is sharply opinionated and extremely confident, proclaiming himself "the very best" at disseminating fairly basic fundamentals.

The 2-minute man works alone and seems the old-school antithesis of betting syndicates. Whether or not he is a form of cryptonite-even a small sliver-to them remains indeterminate to me, but one thing IS for sure,: on Wednesday the 2-minute man seized more than a half-million dollars (from horizontal wagers) and left the geeks empty handed.

Pick 3 or pick 6 ?? I know my brother and his friend made millions making their own track bias notes based on off odd, post position and finish placing to determine inside and outside bias, front or closer bias. Thats real... they took that info to the grave . Died early due to excessive money in vegas. Drugs and food...

Overlapping pick 4 and 5.

Good stuff!

I hit a pick 5 for 75k with a long shot , Had it twice. He must be in big pools with multiple tickets. And a $80 horse like I had. Maiden turf routes is the key to big hits.

All the stuff he's discarding is significant in terms of trying to measure whether the horse is good enough to win or not, but it's all already built into the odds fairly well. He's going where the rest of the people "a'int".

Yup. He is going to the bank to make a deposit.

Is there commercial software to sort for such a condition?
