As far as how to start out, please read what I wrote to Scavs. I hope this helps.

Ya- the thing is, my dad plays the horses casually and he's the one who got me in to it by taking me to Saratoga when I was younger. . . He just doesn't really have the right type of mindset to be serious about it so I think that's why he doesn't understand where I'm coming from. . . My girlfriend and my other friends don't really get it either. . .
I would never feel comfortable playing full-time if I was self-sufficient, but to be honest, I don't really have many expenses at this point in my life. . . I would just be playing for my spending money for the school year. . .
