Self taught but I was a gambler at a young age. Mid 1990's I started getting more interested but it was hitting the super in the '98 Derby on a 24$ ticket hooked me. Spent 2 weeks trying to figure that race out. Felt as though if you put enough time in, you could do well. Then with the advent of the internet and the ability to watch as many races as you can, combined with being able to download pps and such, it just sort of snowballed from there.
Funny, you either get the racing bug or you don't I think. I don't think its something that grows on you. For some people you just like the aspect of trying to figure out a puzzle with a cash reward for the times you do. Easily the best gambling game on earth. I can't ever see myself being any less interested than I am now. I'm sure there will be times when I bet much less than I do now, b/c of other obligations, but the interest will be the same.
