ray not saying horses are a bad thing,put in your time you can make a profit.it will be a small return on your money though.my problem is disipline can beat the horses but not myself.if i had every dime and every hour i put into the pony's could have be a rocket scientist.you can make your 300 to 400 but look to 12 hour days,studing the form,charts and watching races,it becomes work and not fun..if you think you can get a puter program to do the work it aint going to happen.been though most systems,speed ratings,books ect.if you gota passion for this game try following one track to start.get to know the trainers,horses,track variant ect.try betting win or place till you get a handle on things.no one here or on other forms will post there record for a meet or the year,theres a reason my friend.good luck
