this is how different Jerry and I are.
I view wagering strictly as externality that comes along with handicapping.
its not neccessary, but its a reward for putting in the work of handicapping.
I would handicap and watch racing even if there was no wagering on the sport, but(since that is not the case) Im damn sure going to try and profit off of the time and energy I put into handicapping.
i wager large amounts of money(for me) when I am confident.
usually 1G win/500 place.
but day in and day out, Im just a pick 4 player that spends less than $50 a ticket.
I never bet what I can not lose. in fact, I have not made a deposit in my youbet account since last year's Malibu(was right around Christmas).
I probably wager less than 1G a week on average.
sometimes more(will at least triple that on BC weekend), sometimes less.
I find this is an interesting topic of conversation b/c we are all handicappers in one form or antoher.
we all have strong opinions about certain types of racing, certain types of wagering, and certain horses.
but when Im engaged in a debate on this or another forum, I am always curious as to HOW invested someone is in the conversation at hand.
