I'm not saying that one style is absolutely better, but the successful players I know are better at putting together plays than picking specific winners.

As for the bias frustration, I hear you, and sometimes ( not as often as people think ) this is a big problem when playing the Aqueduct inner dirt ( which I play every day ). However, there is an enormous light at the end of the tunnel if you have a bias, especially a prolonged one, in that the track will become even at a certain point and you will left with a plethora of trips to use to play horses and play against, usually overbet, horses. That should more than financially make up for any supposed tough beats due to bias....if your opinion is solid and your race watching skills are even borderline competent.

I already used up some of them ...Like Cherokee Tear,but as you can see,they run 2nd and 3rd against the bias,so ain't like they're are gunna be prices next time.It helps though in having confidence to single horses.
