Jeff,
A good starting point would be to study Huey Mahls findings and studies... absorb it, put into practice, emulate whatever you can from this genius when it comes to money management (FU issue3 is a good starting point....) a majority of the good money managers out there that have become succesfull have studied and applied some of Huey's concepts in one form or another.
It will help you find your comfort zone and advantage level over the public when it comes to betting the horses...
Be an ok handicapper, a so-so record keeper, but an above average money manager and I will be looking at a winner...
Long Live Huey!!!
Jess
