You just don't get it SCUDS.

The more information you have, and the better you learn to accurately understand the game, the better are your chances of making money.

The reality is that most of the work a handicapper does will lead to absolutely nothing. However, in order to find the hidden gems you have to do as comprehensive a job as possible. If I work 4 hours on a card, in all likelihood 3 hours and 50 minutes of it will be a relative waste of time, or worse....lead me to losing, but somewhere in that ten minutes there just might be something that leads me to a big score. You can't get to that ten minutes of work unless you do all the work.

Nobody will accurately tell you that watching replays guarantees winning. But, over time it will seriously help your play if you have an objective view and an open mind.

To each his own, but to me you spend an awful lot of time fighting the demons of extraneous events.
