I've lost count of all the posts here but here's one that many I'm sure have heard or seen: If you keep doing what you've been doing, you'll keep getting what you've been getting.
How may of those who have heard or seen that, are still doing what they have been doing, and still losing?

That is not a true statement.
It is better to say some horseplayers die broke and a few die RICH!!!
I remember back in the early days one fellow handicapper was giving up
and selling all of his library and gadgets.
I got there late and purchased a few items.
Best advise is bet 2 horses to WIN
If you have both in a photo you are a winner .

Gordon Pine was the forum moderator on Dick Mithchill's web site, Cynthia Publishing. For years Pine produced par times. I am sure many on here remember him for those pars.
I used to participate on the forum. Gordon was a wealth of information. He now runs Netcapper his own site and has a software program of the same name.
I do not know what he is doing these days. You can go here and see some of the articles he wrote. There is not one particular thing he said or wrote that influenced me.It is the total of his knowledge that influenced me.

If there would be one book / pamphlet that gives numerous lines of good advice, it would be the " Racing Maxims & Methods of Pittsburgh Phil ", specifically the maxims part. It's several pages of sound advice.
