Did You Have a Winning year in 2016

Did You Have a Winning Year in 2016?

It's that time again to stare in the mirror and fess up, asking yourself, "How did I do in 2016?" Personally, I got stuck like a pig for the first 10 months of the year. However, when November started, it was as if a light switch just flipped on, and I could do no wrong, ending with a modest winning year. I again took more week long breaks, in the midst of my losing ways, while trying to hold losses in check until things finally started to come back together. Anyway, How did you actually do in 2016?

No, 2016 was a losing year for me.

2017 won't be.

Gotta believe!!

i derailed myself into submission with horses but got most of it back with the presidential election. had i have been a bit more patient in waiting to place my bet on the event i would have made a touchdown for the year.

2017 will be a great year for me in horse betting, so i am looking forward to the spring this year.

I voted for Losing Year in 2016 based on my action through the windows... Tournament play I actually had a decent year.

I lost a few hundred dollars as well, but at least the trend is in the right direction since I got into this seriously about 3 years ago. I'm convinced that, for me, profitability will come on the tournament side sooner than on my cash play.

Either way, it's cheaper than my other vice, sporting clays.

I had a winning year, but you shouldn't be too impressed. I did very little wagering in 2016. I did not use my TVG account at all.

I went to Arlington Park twice; once with some long time friends. Once with the folks from Pace Advantage. With my long time friends, I won about $120. With the PA group, my memory is less reliable. I do know that I did not lose more than $100-probably less. So I won, but I won't be writing any handicapping books any time soon.

I love the 1 vote 'I don't wanna know'

I'm usually like that but I can't even trick myself into thinking I won, now, If it's close I can pretend I won, not not this time.

Saratoga killed my year this year, bet the same trainers as I did in 2015 when I did well . They all had bad years this year, I did worse than them. I never recovered.
