FYI: Those of us who have been handicapping sports and thoroughbred racing for many years, all know that there will be both good and bad streaks, as well as many periods of simply after handicapping, just breaking even or losing "juice". Personally, I have never "followed" or "tailed" other handicappers as I prefer to hone my own skills after many years and if I win or lose, or many times "break close to even", I have learned it is much easier to accept the results of my work product. I have no objection to anyone following my selections or simply using them to compare mine with other opinions they may be using. One thing I have learned is that I am very opinionated when it comes to anyone following me or tailing me, and when the losing streaks come, and they will, I express horror at those who follow or tail me then "blame" me for their "bad periods of results.' More specifically, I will not tolerate any poster, who comes into my threads that I started, and insult or make abusive remarks as a result of their "rough" times. I have not been posting here very long, but I see we have many posters who are looking to blame others for their losses. That I will not tolerate in my threads. If anyone prefers to make abusive comments and remarks about my posts, I respectfully ask you to do it in threads you start or in other threads where posters do not mind. I do mind, and when it happens, as it has been, I simply take advantage of the "Block User Feature" and in doing so, I am not forced to read any comments of that nature. As adults, you would hope, most posters would by now realize that "crying" or blaming others for their losses is simply of no value. I have been handicapping longer than most posters here have been born, which makes me no better or worse than anyone else. So to be clear, I invite everyone to visit the threads I start and hope in some way I can be of some positive help to all who choose to do so. But if you can't control yourself, I respectfully suggest you refrain from entering my threads and following or tailing or even fading my selections. I have used the "ignore button feature" far too often, which tells me, unfortunately we have far too many posters who can't stand or afford to lose and when they do, are quick to blame others. That is fine with me, but it won't happen if I see it in my threads. I have always believed that seasoned handicappers can always learn from one another, but that can only happen if we go into our work with a good positive attitude and realize that we are all trying to win and in my case help each other. This business of my posting opposite sides in other forum sites, is simply not true. I have attempted on occasion to "middle games" but not often as "juice" will always be a negative result most of the tine. So in a spirit of trying to get along and winning together, I ask that you , if you enter my threads for any reason, you do so in a respectful and professional manner. If not, you will be ignored and I will be spared whatever ridiculous accusations one may want to post. I refuse to read your excuses, your blaming me for any negative results one may experience by using my handicapping. FYI: my sports handicapping are more often than not are 99% my own source, as the core of my selections. When I win or lose, I have no one to praise or blame but myself. When it comes to thoroughbred horse racing handicapping, I will put myself up against anyone who likes the challenge. I am not making any effort to prove I am a better horse handicapper than anyone else, but simply put, I know I am. My results speak for themselves. Re: horse racing, I own several thoroughbreds and currently am not training, but am in good standing in any state I have raced in and can get licensed whenever I choose to do so. But my training days, for the most part are over, as I am now in the twilight of my life. I wish the best to all here in this forum, as we all go positively forward, and hopefully can contribute to one another. I wish nothing but the best to all, and in a very short time, have come to really feel that this site has more to offer than most. All the best to everyone, and try to remember, our goal is winning together. All I ask, if you enter any thread that I start, you act respectfully and keep your negative remarks to yourself. To do anything else, never works. Thanks to all posters and moderars who spend endless hours in a effort to accomplish what I have tried to share with you. All the best to all who live by "The Golden Rule."
