There are methods and strategy in "this game". There are people who do win at a consistent rate. I do agree about luck being the biggest factor when trying to make big scores, but it is hardly any different than betting on sports or the stock market. I see it as really having "inside information". If you are getting the right info you can make it happen. You could still have that info and not be able to manage it correctly. I have seen "blue collar handicappers" tear thru the drf and uncover some great angles or plays that do pay off, but in the long run they stand no chance against somebody whom receives "inside info". I was taught this about horse racing and believe it after years of playing. Gene Huffington: You have to remember two things about betting the horses. The first is the connections, and the second is don't be shy about using the all-button. After all, only 32% of races are won by favorites, 68% by prices. The all-button is the only way to hit a monster. But connections are the key, and you have to be on the inside of things, or as Gene puts it, "if you're not in the inner circle, you 're not going to be in the winner's circle"
