Handicapping is not playing Steve's picks (of those of Gus or Andy). Handicapping is learning from these people so you can intelligently make your own picks.
You started this thread asking for how much information one can use in handicapping. But, to quote Andre the Giant from the Princess Bride, I don't think that word means what you think it means.
There is a big difference between going to the track and betting (which is lots of fun even if you pick names or colors) and actual handicapping which is much more rewarding.

Paul,
I think (
) that you thought that I only use experts opinions...I do in fact handicap on my own. My objective was to initiate a discussion on how one takes what is now an incredible amount of information, and formulate a winning strategy.
