Excellent, Froggy.
By keeping those painstaking records you're able to exercise self-discipline. That tedious process alone improves your control.
Your results are admirable. They should indeed inspire self-confidence.
Including the "ut ohs" reflects reality. In the real world we make mistakes. We press the wrong button on the SAM machine, call out the wrong race number to the teller, etc. By including those boo boos and still showing a profit you're only reinforcing your "can do" approach.
The best handicapper I know, who has been a winning professional for over 30 years, told me to eliminate all the blood from my veins and replace it with ice water. "Don't get too high when you win. Don't get to low when you lose. Keep an even keel."
Froggy, based on what I've seen here and in the other thread, I'd say you've developed and progressed to the point where you can realistically achieve your dream of handicapping horses as a successful retirement income.
Congratulations!
Keep an even keel.
