Aversion to gambling

This game is more addictive than crack for most of us. What if you could have action and make a few grand instead. OK haters let me have it.
I've had some success at this over the years and some of it stems from an aversion to gambling. I've found that less action leads to higher profit. Think of it as an at bat in baseball with no umpire calling balls and strikes. There's no crowd booing you when you take fifteen straight pitches. Your satisfaction comes when you hit the 16th out of the park.
If you sell your picks you're making a huge mistake. Keep them to yourself and leverage-up on exotics. What did the trifectas and pick3's pay when those longshots came in? A true measure of your confidence with this "system" is your willingness to put your own money at risk with it.

How true

Selling picks is a great idea.. has it ever been tried. So many guys get slammed for spelling on here its just a sure thing Im gonna get it for these posts that share my views and terrible typing. Its more fun to invite it.. Im totally in gest with my hater stuff. Its fun to see the people get excited when they catch a horse, thats the referenenc to you guys. Do you know what a B..ch It would be to have a website and people expecting winners every day. $40 a month would be min wage and 100 peeps betting place and show would not work. Software sellers have hit the mark in my opinion. $100 a month x1000. Let em pick there own. As for me betting. Havent made a bet in 2 months. I would think if one could eak out an roi of 1.07 he could enjoy a hobby and a free vacation maybe.

Yeah, and the whole "aren't all you addicted haters who are losing 20K a year better off just betting my picks" post was a little antagonistic too. I'm not a "hater" (oh boy), but I might become one if he continues down that road.

HERE COMES THE HATE

lol. IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO FIND THE TRUTH ABOUT GAMBLING. I MIGHT BLOW OUT THE NEXT 5 DAYS. BUT I CAN T LOSE A MIND BET...LOL I WAS ACTUALLY HOPING SOME OLD MEN LIKE MY DAD MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING FUN TO WATCH ALL DAY. MY SUGGESTED WAGERS ARE FOR THOSE THAT CAN AFFORD IT. WHEN ONE OF THESE GUYS HIT A $54.OO HORSE IT MIGHT MAKE THEIR DAY.

Talking nailed it

you hit the nail on the head with your response

i believe many are looking for the big pay with small bet deal
the 99/1 horse ......

altho the price of 20 wps is steep for most people
considering how many selections are posted

however, in the long run , its the person behind
the wager that has to make the decision on what to bet
that day

nothing is certain....a winner can break down near the finnish
line and not make it at all

ease up people and enjoy the forum
and with continued posting might have a chance
to learn a few tricks
and keep tabs on progress
maybe one of these days we get a longshot worth its wieght in gold

have a great day

i will check back in later.......

perhaps the results will be posted as well
thats a big help

thanks for posting your picks

Whobet has a well earned reputation as a fine handicapper.

whobet

I looked at his picks for a few weeks and couldnt see where they broke even. If they do then I apoligize. My point was that hes on here all the time and doesnt post his results daily. Or a running total like I do.

I also checked his results for a time, and like you, found that they were not making money.
(Maybe they would have been profitable had I monitored for a longer period of time - don't know)

BUT:

Orrug, could you please post the results WITHOUT adding a rebate.
Just the ACTUAL Won/Loss/ROI please .

The majority of people don't get a 5% rebate especially making fairly small bets.
Your results/running total aren't really straightforward (like other people) with a "rebate" added on to them.
I'm sure you probably believe that you can show a PROFIT WITHOUT REBATES, so how about it ?

Good luck with your picks.

rebates

I post at 5% because most can get far more. Seems fair. Sign up anywhere and you get 3% off shore. Maybe not on low paying show bets. Anyway good luck and have fun. Reduce my total by the rebate ifyou please.
