Jeff Platt (Jcapper) made mention on a PaceAdvantage thread recently of an article he had written titled The Sphere which deals with his learning experiences, partly in the course of evolving his own software, but primarily in the realms of the process of focus, discipline and equanimity in the handicapping process. The tell-tale signs of a winner (and not just at the races).
Here is a link to that article, and thanks Jeff!
