I believe I very much understand the horse biz (including the breeding), its just that betting isnt my thing... I make money off the people who bet.
Please dont tell me you have to be a certain age to understand horse racing.
Also, Nobody who gambles makes money. period. doesnt matter if you are 24 44 or 84. A few people who make intelligent CALCULATED risks (Crist, etc.)make a living betting horses. That is different than gambling.

a) most degrees in ANYTHING are worth just about the cost of toilet paper
b) The difference between you and PG1985 is how you represent yourself
c) ALOT more people make money gambling then you realize, the people that say this just don't educate themselves to understand the element, matter of fact, most of them are just intimidated by it and you the statement "You can't make money at this" as a barrier
d) I can go on forever picking this post apart about what you know about the game, but let me some it up in this, 12 years around horses, about 6-7 of them you actually had a clue about life in general, EXPERIENCE is the only way to learn in this game
e) You are defending someone for no absolute reason. The guy is a clown and went from attacking people to having normal conversations to attacking people to knowing it all. It actually has the feeling that it is Blockhead/Secretariat (who knows after the Server crashed if Byk still has him blocked).
