@ all,
It is amusing as well as revealing to read kolramsri’s admission that after 52 years of racing experience he is unable to predict with confidence even 2 runners in a day who can place in a race!
This also confirms the fact that most of the punters go to races, without any preparation, understanding of this intricate game which needs ‘more’ than normal efforts to decipher the various clues available to win.
The soft- pedalling of words does not hide the inadequacy of efforts to ‘win’ but establishes the casualness of the attempts…
All the losers come out with different excuses, except the admission that they made inadequate efforts to ‘bell the cat’…
Glasgow Prince,
Your question looks strange.
Anybody offering his expertise, services or opinions should not ask for compensation; seems to be your conviction or opinion. But why? Why should a person giving his ‘knowledge’ to other not ask for a commensurate compensation/reward/ money?
You pay fee or money to attend school, college or a movie etc., but want the ‘know-how’ to make money from races for free! How legitimate is this demand, I don’t know…
We go to races to make/earn/win money – not for enjoyment or passing time. Those who say that their intention is not to make money, are living under self –delusion.
When everybody willingly pays for the food, entertainment , education and any other facility he wants or demands, why he wants everything ‘free’ in horse racing field - a game of ‘skill’? Is it advisable or correct to ask/convess/ demand the fruits of a ‘skill’ achieved by a practitioner over a period of time – free, without any compensation…
