In the end, I think the problem is that you do actually need to study AND be smart to make money gambling on horse racing. Society is now very fast paced and most don't have the time to make the time investment to be successful doing it. I tried it for a year and a half and found out very quickly, I couldn't do it. I was flushing money down the toilet. I quit. I always liked the sport for the thoroughbred running aspect of it as their efficiency of running fast is pretty cool, but I've got a family and a job and crap taking up time that I simply don't have the ability to gamble on the sport at all. I just don't.

Unfortunately society is getting more dumbed down by the second, and the fact that you actually need to think in gambling on horse racing is a detriment in my opinion. You need no thinking to pull a lever and that is where we are headed more and more.
