Partially agree. There is always going to be a learning curve in the beginning. Long term you should expect to win.

Your doing really well Mark. I can't boast your numbers. I'm up considerably this month but I have had 3 losing days out of the last 30. I think what you can take out of that is with both have our methods (which are completely different) but they both have an extremely high winning rate and a good profit to go along with it. Its no good having a one without the other.

Or the ability to implement discipline with software. Software can overcome this fault but only if one holds true to the method and doesn't go changing it often.

Horse racing is associated with higher risk so people think that means they will get rich quick.
