Dave Schwartz is an excited guy!
Why? Because he believes he has finally unraveled the most difficult issue on the handicapping planet: form cycle!
He just had to scream it from the rooftops!
FORM! FORM! FORM!

Welcome to the elite club of "enlightened" handicappers
On a serious note, do give a thought to how you can exploit this special knowledge on Betfair by laying against horses that you know just CANNOT win.

1. Betfair - is it not illegal from the U.S.?
2. I support race tracks and racing. Playing with Betfair is like playing with a bookie - zero benefit to racing.

I don't believe that is true. I don't know the exact percentage, but Betfair does pay the industry.

Oh yes, I forgot Dave. It's illegal from your country too.
But I think some of your clients must be Betfair punters, so you can always offer "consultancy" to them for a "fee", and then pay taxes in your country on the fee "earned" to put your conscience at ease.
Also, I think cj is right, Betfair does help the cause of racing in many ways.
However, personally I feel the world will be a far better place without bookmakers and also exchanges like Betfair. The ideal world would be where all clubs have superfast and efficient tote machines in place and charge only 5% on WPS bets, and maybe 10% on exotics.

Dave:
Your words of excitement here, reminded me of the old flyers I used to get in the mail way back when from Norris Strauss.
