i gave up any serious idea i could win long term betting horses after i started tracking my bets in 99. i had a good year in 2001 but by 2003 i could see the writing on the wall. i lost every year and it was a single bet that kept me from a negative roi in 2001.
i didn't quit but i understood that the idea i could beat the rake required more dedication than i was willing to devote.
so i cut back. i still play on big days. i still have a negative roi overall. but i still enjoy the wins. it still feels like i solved a difficult puzzle.
90% of the guys that tell you what to do have no idea if they're profitable or not. if you enjoy it, i don't think $100/month is bad rent.
put it in the right perspective, you have a life. this stuff should be 0.1% of it for guys like you and i.
