Exactly. I am finally sticking to one approach, and one only, and I feel that it is right for me. When you develop confidence in your method, you eventually realize that you can still be right even when you lose. Every race has its own dynamics and so many variables, there are going to be times that you just can't find the winner with your method. The key for me has been learning to just forget those races and go on to the next, using the same methods.
Handicapping is one strange deal. You can be successful even though you will likely lose more often than you win. In this "winning is everything" world, it takes some mental adjustment to deal with that.
