Robfla, been using TG's for about the last year and a half consistently. We kinda touched on this before when they were offering them for free the last week of December, but I would agree with the suggestion of using the Redboard room, where you can get the previous day's data for free, you can also get the analysis of certain cards, this way you can compare your picks to their's. The ROTW goes into more detail on reading patterns, very valuable. How long it takes to get proficient using them would certainly vary. As far as the bankroll question is concerned, agree with Scav; you need to be prepared to play all the races (although not necessarily for the same amount), I look at it as even if you don't have a strong opinion, the edge you get with the TG's is still enough to play the race. Finally, I recomend getting familiar with the full "Sheets", as opposed to the Thoro-quick, it's much easier to get a feel for the patterns, as opposed to just checking the numbers. I used thoro-quick for a while to save paper and ink, since switching to the full sheets, my handicapping has gotten much better, (unfortunately, my betting is still inconsistent).
