There is no doubt in my mind that making money from betting is easier now than it was the first time I tried it.
Back then the only info I had was that which was available in the racing papers and every race had to be read, there were no tools to quickly narrow down selections […]

I was chatting with a very succesful bettor the other day and we were
arguing about the merits of closing out on bets where your horse is
