These facts still hold true today.

For the vast majority of handicappers, I agree with this.
Currently, I'm part of that vast majority.
If I put money on 25% of the races I analyze, overall that would be a lot.
there are about 2-4 times a year I'll bet into about 20- 30 events a week,
for at most 3 weeks at a time.
Most weeks I don't crack 10, but I'm trying to change that with the help of RDSS.
Also I'm looking into getting more involved in pick-4s and up.
I know there are some out there who bet into 150+ events a week, every week;
but almost all of them get rebates and still barely crack 8%ROI.
So their volume of events and bankroll better be huge to make that worth it.
The remaining of who play that much I doubt are doing it for much more than a hobby.
