really? I have no clue what I am doing when I go to the track. I just fire out supers like a mad man.

Anyone really just bet horses for a living?

Ok I just bet my first and last horse race ever. I bet on Jackson Bend and lost.

Goodbye horse racing. Horrible thing to bet on.

There are quite a few that cash winning tickets betting ponies... problem is, most of them play a lot of races where they aren't cashing every ticket.

even in a fixed race, you can be on the wrong end

No one pays their bills every month by betting horses...

Anyone that says otherwise is a liar.

There may be people with other sources of income that do nothing but handicap and bet horses but no one makes a living betting the horses...

NOBODY

Professional losers.

I found out later in life that my Uncle Mike (who spent most of his days at OTB and the Track) lost his ass and alot of what he lost was other people's money.


Someone tells you there a professional horse handicapper there either money loser or a columnist.

There are more than a few human athletes out there that I trust even less than a horse.

Why this is a great action sport. People love betting on College Football with all the games that you have to chose from. Well with the ponies you could get a bet in every 3 minutes.

What made it so bad for you?

Ponies are a degenerates wet dream. Action action action.

You think -110 is unbeatable... try -120 or more on most horse bets. The juice is a killer in most states.

But still fun, just not everyday !

There's an old saying that horse players die broke. I tend to believe that.

In sports betting, you only have two teams to decide who to bet. Not so with horses where you might have 15-20 horses in the race.

Very tough. I tried it for a while. You can make some money but a living is next to impossible.

Remember, Your local meet only last 2 or 3 months, then you are looking at travel and living in motels.

You better like reading and studying.
