The World's Greatest PUBLIC handicappers
I would like to hear who you guys follow, and at what track. I follow NY tracks, and the greatest public handicapper I have ever seen in all my years is Ribbit from RibbitRacing.
As of the 9th race today at Belmont, he has picked 8 winners out of 9 races! This is not unusual, he does this kind of picking often! I have never seen anyone pick more winners than this guy, and he does really well at other tracks too. Not to mention, all his picks are free, with no advertising, or signing up for nonsense.
When one of my win picks agree with one of his win picks, the hit ratio is 64% to win over the last 350 races at Belmont and Aqueduct. I only wish that I had some idea of what excatly he uses to formulate his picks. I don't believe in handicapping to make money, but then, I have never seen anyone as good as this guy, day in and day out.
Who is your favorite public handicapper?

6 of 8 evens or below and a 6/5 and 2-1 for the other 2, his expectation was somewhere around 6 wins. Just a quick browse of his 'selections' and he's doesn't appear to be too different then Ultimate Selector, a chalk eating weasel who'll hit a lot of winners, but at low odds and -EV.

Ouch. 
I too count less than 8 out of 9 - rather 6 out of 9 with one second choice winning. Maybe there's a miscount with all the scratches? At those odds, it's hard to dutch.
Can't say as I follow any public handicappers, and it pretty much takes the fun out of the game for somebody else to make your picks. Taking a look at Ribbit's home page, there's plenty of chalks that he's picking - but if he's separating the live chalks from the ones off the board, good for him....

Now that's funny stuff!
He hit 8 out of 10 today, if you take his next pick after all the many scratches at Belmont.
I sure don't mind chalk pickers myself. That is my bread and butter. There was just lots of chalk today with the small fields.

If hes (you) that good then he should be able to afford an actual website. Not a free one with banner ads all over it.

Maybe its me, but red flags always flash when a new poster starts out with mentioning a person, software or website I have never heard of and how amazing it is.

If he's that good, his picks won't be profitable for long. Too many players will be betting them.

Public Handicappers were great in the 80's and 90's where indepth information werent readily available. Now, with replays, PP, speed/pace figures are on the internet, its not necessary to rely on handicappers as much. Dont get me wrong, they are great for breaking down a race but shouldnt be relied on for picking winners.
Do you need to rely on other experts while playing a hand in Black Jack or Poker? If you do, stick with putting your gambling money in the savings account.

These comments are highly entertaining stuff, when all I asked was a simple question. I am not the public handicapper that I mentioned, the site administrator can probably verify that fact. I was just curious as to everyone's favorite public pickers. I have been making a living from my own betting since 1993, so you can save the advice on how I should and should not be betting, but it is hilarious reading, considering it is coming from people that don't make a living at this. Good stuff.
