Ideally...all horseplayers should be able to take a long leave-of-absence from their jobs...so they could bet on the horses every day for an extended period of time. Then they would know a little something about what it feels like to depend on the horses for your daily bread.

The more successful you are betting horses , the less likely it is you'll be talking about it.  |
Darn. Does that mean all those whales out there making their seven figure incomes churning for rebates won't be posting their algorithms? That is a disappointment.

What makes you think 90% of us would ever want to?

Don't all the kids on the playground fantasize about being the next "Michael Jordan", or "Derek Jeter"? And...don't all the "serious" poker players dream of being the next "Chip Reese"? I just figured that all the serious horseplayers dream of being the next Pittsburgh Phil".
I know I did...

Reminds me of those Lawton sheets they used to mark up and paste on the booth. Thems were the good old days.

That's right up there with Bo Hopkins going on about everyone wanting to be a Pharaoh. But at least he was sincere about it and wasn't looking for personal gain.

Who's looking for personal gain by posting picks? After this weekend, you won't see another peep from me regarding posted picks or ROI or anything.
Oh, and btw, I notice you don't track your picks either...but you do post them.
Interesting...

You two make a swell couple.
So, have either of you reverse engineered my 10% ROI yet?
Should be a piece of cake.

Why should they bother with your 10%...when they do "so much better" themselves?

Oh, I realize that.
I just want to see them reverse engineer something based on nothing but picks and an odds line...
There's no way in 100 years they could duplicate what I am doing simply by looking at my picks...but I'll be the first to stand in awe if they can pull it off...
It should be easy, according to them. I've even left a few clues along the way.

Assuming whales exist, one could easily argue that they should prove both their existence and the effectiveness of their methods by posting algorithms that explain how they do whatever it is they are supposed to be doing. Or one could conclude that either they don't exist, or that they are unwilling to share their methods. Or that they simply don't care about proving their existence and/or the effectiveness of their methods.
