Key word, "principal." I'm quite sure he's not a volunteer for DRF and Youbet...

I've only had about 3 wks in my life where handicapping was my "principal" source of income.

or you could just do what Mr Foxworthy does full time... and that's not stand up comedy.

What a sourpuss.

with the tracks 20% vig....its pretty much out of the question.....way too many races with "zero" value to the bettor taking the risk.

I tried making it a full-time thing for me. Everything started out very well. Went to the track to watch the workouts, talked with clockers and trainers about horses. Then I would bet the races and before you know it, my kids were one year older and I didn't remember a thing. That was it for me and I put everything away and only do it for fun. Like Kasept said, you are looking at 12-14 hour days, 7 days a week.
