Excerpts:
Easy to Use, Easy to Win
by C.F. Stewart and Ross O'leno
Excerpt 1
I’m 90 years old and at this moment I’m sitting in my living room watching a group of sparrows dance around my front porch merrily pecking away at an array of invisible treats. Most of the birds have pecked at least three times before moving on. I’m willing to bet that I can select a bird that will peck at least six times before flying away. Too bad I’ve outlived all my friends; in the old days I would have found a taker in a second.
Excerpt 2
I once sat at a crap table in South Lake Tahoe and won over $60,000. Not terribly unusual for 2003, but in l970 that was a bundle. My dear wife kept stopping by the table periodically to check on my progress and, of course, to pick up a couple of chips for entertainment purposes. Our deal has been from the beginning: We live together, gamble apart. When she would make these periodic appearances, they were brief and for one purpose—bag as many chips as possible. I didn’t find out until some years later that she saved most of the proceeds from those sojourns and created a stash for future dispersals. The night of my $60,000 win she deposited $6,000 in the casino safe.
Excerpt 3
We may beat the Devil every now and then, but to do it on a steady basis is not a possibility. I maintain that if a horse-player achieves a modicum of success and retains his humility and does not commit the unpardonable sin of hubris, he may claim that he has achieved handicapping sainthood. If, over time, he constantly changes, adapts, and refines his methods, and avoids becoming complacent, he may venture into the realm of Supreme Being of Handicappers.
As a post-script, I’m 89 years old. And, as yet, I havent’t met any gods at the track, handicappers or otherwise.
