Felt like King Dick, was hooked after that.
So, what im saying is I bet on greyhounds and a small amount on thoroughbreds for extra jing. Started ADW (Advance deposit wagering) for a living in 2011. Wake up slightly before 11 am everyday, go over my race cards, look at my kennel charts, watch a few replays, check track conditions and put my races in. Most ADW's offer 9%-17% rebate on all wagers(each track differs, pays next day into acct). Break even for a year with 500k wagered, easy 60k year. Way less time consuming than poker cause you can put the wagers in and check em later.
Somedays I play up to 90 races between 6 tracks that I follow. On slow days, Sundays and Tuesdays, I may have only 2-3 races that I see.
Alotta people dog the greyhound grinders but it is easy money. Im lazy as fuck and live comfortably.
