Hi Ray,

Thanks for sharing your success story of long term betting. These are the only numbers that count. Profiting over the long haul is the holy grail.

Your numbers appear similar to mine which I posted in the Match-up area in January for 2018. Like you I seek supplemental retirement income. It is quite a journey of ups and downs over 12 months. You need a plan that works for you and you have to stay the course. You obviously are doing that.

I have no familiarity with the old DOS programs. I do the Match-up using RDSS in a Mac environment. My goal is $100 flat bets. I don’t know if I will ever achieve that. Maybe. The longer you go and the longer you overcome failure and losing streaks etc., and the longer you still stay the course, the more confidence you get. I concur though that there would never have been any way I could have been a pro betting with all of lifes regular pressures. I don’t know how those people do that.

Anyhow I was glad to read of your similar situation. As you say there is more to life than horse racing. But what a wonderful diversion it is.

I wish you continued success Ray.
