if you could give a beginning gambler some advice what would it be

[Santo]

I'l repeat the advice I gave over at Fezzik's just yesterday: "There are many more pro gamblers, than pro handicappers".

Handicapping is not the way to make a living at this.

Get lucky.

I am like the aliGATOR, I have evolved over many years of studying this exciting endeavor. Dante, I would surmise that most of the older veterans are still around because of their success. This is who I have become, for better or for worse. During the College Football season I wake up every day EXCITED and at the end of each day, I go to bed excited. A little success makes it all a little sweeter. At my age, EXCITEMENT is a great thing! Love Ya man! LT arty: :money8: arty:

AMEN bother:toast:

As you know Handicappings a lot harder, thats why everyone is going down the easy route. The problem will be the age old too many snouts in the trough syndrome. A reasonably intelligent person doesnt take that long to get up to speed and the added players will give people doing it now a longer time/ reward situation, thats already happening if you read the Betfair Forum and I have found recently a lengthening of time spent on line. Eventually that side of things will become a part-time hobby whereas the winners will be those players who can return to Handicapping and betting straight. That is Two way Sportsbetting Im talking about, Horse racing and such is a completely different field of betting. :drink:
