share

I would share it with a few. I would get to know each person
who showed interest in winning. If I felt they were dedicated to working and to keep working and practicing. I would share what I knew to be a winning road to success.
I would never charge a cent for my system
I would gain further riches than the riches of winning selections or sales of a method
I would gain the fulfillment that I had made a better life besides my own. A better life that my students earned
For I know that success and a better self image in one part of your life
fuels every other part of your life
one of love and pride and a smile

I just want to be the guy in the picture with the smile

unfortunately once you share, the other side has a better one, so they said. How untrue.

But if they are only takers and non makers = Hard work / practice
They will just move on to the next magic bean and forget what you told them

I would share it with all knowing full well that most would not believe in it. Those that did believe would explore it and make use of it, and the others would go on believing what they always did, or that you were pulling a hoax on them.
I truly believe that all knowledge of value should be shared.

Share it for free.

If there were a "secret to riches" :
a. someone else would have discovered it,
b. it wouldn't be "easy" to understand,
c. there "ain't no free lunch", which implies (to me) the "secret" is really hard work,
d. there is no SINGLE way to "skin a cat", (no offense 'kitty-cat' lovers),
....... all of which means there will no stampede for the "secret".

Well said Barb, and if we are talking about horse racing only, then I totally agree we could give this away to all, and so many would ignore it and go back to there way of doing things.

This I know from my own experiences, not something I am proud to admit, but one that at this point in my life I have no shame for doing the stupid things of my past, and now only focus on the good I can do in the future, and that would include helping everyone who came into to contact with me, and willing to listen and learn, and we all know that already puts the number of people willing to listen in halve, and of those even fewer are willing to learn , so in reality those left may find the riches, and yet still may not have faith and patience to learn a new way, especially if riches would come slowly, just my thought.
