Horse Race Handicapping College Perspective from the Master
[ 3 Part Horse Race Handicapping Perspective ]
Part II
Continued from Part I:
Of course many of us would counter the smaller "rake" theory with the fact that many more people percentage wise know how to play poker than horse racing so that sort of makes up for the 2/1 disparage in take-out doesn't it?
I have said it for 30 years and I will do so until the day I die: Just because many people can't beat horse racing (and never will) doesn't mean you and I can't.
The simple reason that the majority of the 98% that lose at this sport is simple: They don't PREPARE, and education is the first step in the preparation process.
I can assure you that it is hard work, as I do it everyday, but I am paid handsomely for my efforts and get paid for something that I absolutely LOVE to do. How many people can HONESTLY say that?
It just never ceases to amaze me how intelligent people that understand that the pari-mutuel system of wagering on horse racing is player vs. player could ever surmise logically that SOMEONE isn't beating the other players the majority of the time.
No one is going to hand you any money in this sport, you have to earn it. But when you do earn it, it is very satisfying and rewarding.

Horse racing handicapping and wagering, although a legal form of gambling, does not guarantee that the risk of losing your money has been eliminated.
Always wager with money that you can afford to lose, do not violate your money management rules, and do not be greedy, there will always be another horse race to wager on.
Fact: Only 2% of all horse race handicappers actually make money wagering.
