I had a chance to listen to and really study BTW on a day-to-day basis at those old Siro's seminars years before I even knew he posted or before I had ever met him in any way.
There are some guys you can study pretty damn hard - and learn nothing or almost nothing from in regard to handicapping and betting. BTW was someone I have been able to really take some things from. I'm better as a handicapper from studying him.
He's also a very fun person just to listen to. I'm sure I've thieved a whole lot more from his sort of horse racing verbiage and his general way of describing things than I have from his actual handicapping concepts.
Even if he does kind of look a lot like the BTK Serial Killer (with dorkier glasses) .....
His company and the sport are a lot better off with him doing what he's doing now.
