Professional Harness Handicappers

[HornbyDuke]

I've been a handicapper for some time. IMHO maybe slightly better than the average capper but not profitable and not nearly as good as many on here. For awhile I've noticed almost universal condemnation of public handicappers. I find this a little unfair. Are there any public handicappers that folks like. I like  two of the guys up in Canada that handicap Mohawk - barnsdale and Hamilton. And also like giwinner (has to be a made up name) and Tiny Little at the big m. Know these may not be popular but I've learned from them. Anybody have any favorites.

Also, what does it say about handicapping in general that even these guys that do this for a living usually have a negative roi. Given this, how could anyone profit from horse racing wagering?

No question some insightful handicappers on here. I've picked up even more though listening to the horsemen. Lot of valuable info there - just have to try to weed out BS from valuable info.

My guess is most successful:
Limit bets to a few on a card
Have horseman background and not just handicapping skill/angles.
Know reliable sources when inside info is forthcoming.
Are in a good rebate platform.
Crush the play when confident

35% was 2002.

The major 1/2's ... Yonkers, Northfield ... it's 47% or 48%.
