I just couldn't resist replying to this:
Yes, its possible, but unlikely.
Take me, for example. Before 1992, I was down about $20,000 in my 7 years of handicapping. Then hit a pick 6 for $133,000 (including P5 consos). That was January of 1992. Hit the P6 six more times that year (including twice in one day due to a gate scratch, thereby getting stuck with the fav who won, and I already had him.)
Quit my job and went to the desert, where in January of 1993 had a career month without the benefit of a pick six. Have not had a winning year since, but many break even years.
Have a positive career ROI somewhere between $50,000- $70,000. (Not gonna tell you, it wouldn't be prudent)
Why so many losing years? In a word- cheating. Remedy- quit playing every day and focus on stakes races, where there is less of it.
If you take into account the break even years plus the 17% take, those were really winning years.
These are the facts. Any complaints will be considered Ragozin communist propaganda. LOL
Keep trying.
