Are you willing?
I mean no trouble by asking this question, please keep this in mind.
Are you willing to pay x amount for info per day/week/month from x source? What is your limit? $10 a week? $20 a week? Just curious. I myself will not partake at the above prices. I'll pay $5 for the DRF and give it a whirl with what I know, which is not much but at times has been enough to score. I mean no offense to anyone on here, just curious about your thoughts. If the price is right, I'll play.

No offense meant to any 'cappers out here, but I like making my own judgements on the cards I play and wouldn't look to buy anyone else's picks.
I think some of the fun in handicapping is that you develop tendencies and play a certain angle, etc and I don't feel that enjoyment taking others picks. Not to say they arent great picks because I have read many picks on here (not wagered however) and there are plenty good ones out there.

I get great joy out of picking my own winners no matter the method but I refuse to pay to get somebody's "inside" info. No thanks. I know some people who have shared info and I scored with their info so what I do is repay them with other forms of payment, not a monthly subscription but rather a nice dinner, a gift certificate, round of golf etc

I find minimal joy in hitting a winner that someone else gave me. It's still joy. But it's minimal.
I like reading the picks others make in the selections section but mostly it's because I am looking for angles they found that I might have missed. Someone posting "I like the the 8" is meaningless. Someone posting "I like the 8 because he..." is better. My knowing the 8 is underbet because of "..." is best. I think the money made is overrated. I like the puzzle. I freely admit that I have a losing record on betting horses since I started tracking it in 1999. I have 1 winning year (though I am up so far in 2006 which will be 2 if it continues). I don't bet as much as I used to. But I still love the game.

What I am saying is this plain and simple -
If Oracle wants to start selling his info - This derbytrail.com poster is not buying plain and simple, and I know darn well back a few months ago he said he would not sell his info but low and behold he is planning that already

This is the Curt we know...
It would depend on the price, I enjoy capping on my own, but I have no connections in the business and I can't watch races every day. Two things that are valuable and that you can incorporate into your own handicapping, is workout info and trip bias, take this with sheet figs and your own analysis and you could be deadly. I tend to check results and read about horse racing daily, because I love the game, but I tend to bet large amounts on certain days. I pool my money with my buddy, we each put in $200 bucks into a pot on Oaks Day, we played the Oaks card, Derby Card and Preakness Card. We now have 2 grand in the pot and we are looking to use every bit of it on Belmont day, so any info I have while betting that money, I would be willing to use...

Hey O your a great capper but now your starting to sound like the fartingshark we all know and love to hate. Good luck though if it works out for you. I've seen guys with much less talent than you make a living out of it. Now who do like in the 1st at Belmont Weds?

I love how everyone figures out who the poster is. It tells me one thing, someone I can no longer trust with info. Ain't no thing. I gave that Mother ****er a $27 winner yesterday at River, punk ass.
You all take care. Buy into his program. Mike and Steve are on a gold mine. Oh yeah Mike P, aka Oracle, when you receive that $50 Gift Certificate enjoy. I prefer you stick it up your flippin ass bitch. It's me, Curt, since someone, who was the only one, called me out obviously. Ya'll take it easy

Hey O it's your BBQ and the food taste great buddy. For me your picks are useless to me for the reason I don't have the bank roll like you high rollers of the game. I own part of a couple cheap claimers and spend around $50 at the track when I go. I tend to spread around a couple $5 ex's and maybe a Part-wheel tri for $24. You cap great don't get me wrong but it's like me listening to Donald Trump on real estate advice my small bank account. Do see what I'm trying to say?
