Mike is the epitome of the successful HSH user because he takes my advice but ultimately does what he is comfortable with.
Most players come to us with a long history of losing. What they want is a simple-, profitable, turn-key approach.
I give them that, but rarely do they use it as-is. They insist on tweaking it beyond recognition in just a matter of days.
What Mike has done that is so remarkable, is to hang on to enough of my highly-vetted approach, and then mix his own stuff.
With HSH, you get to become MORE OF YOU.
Initially, he would go so far afield that it was like 95% Salony and it wouldn't work for him. Oh, I am sure it would have eventually, but, instead, he'd move back in my direction a bit.
He went through this streak, posting public plays, that was pretty fantastic. As he said, lots of FTS and (I think) 2nd-time starters. He'd post like a dozen of them every day and then report the results the next day.
Every single day he'd be slightly profitable. Not hugely, but like bet $40 get back $45, or bet $25 get back $35.
A bad day would look like bet $35, get back $32.
I knew he was headed for success like that because every single day he was posting horses that ran "live."
Now, it is far more him and a bit of my stuff.
Like all that Excel stuff. That's too much work for me. But Mike thrives on it.
