The 30-year-old resident of Chicago disdainfully eschews all computer methodology or pre-fabricated past performance features including (but not limited to) self-generated odds-lines; pre-assigned running styles or pace-rankings; any sort of "power" or "class" ratings..etc..etc.
"If it's not real and raw, I never look at it," he says. Perhaps best characterized as a flexible and intuitive handicapper, the 2-minute man stresses trips (which he claims "99.9 % of bettors don't truly understand"), race flow, trainer intent, and form cycles, while approaching various tracks and distances in different manners.
I can't speak to the guy's bottom line, but have seen screen shots of other significant hits, and can't recall being quite so impressed by a player. As you might expect, he is sharply opinionated and extremely confident, proclaiming himself "the very best" at disseminating fairly basic fundamentals.
The 2-minute man works alone and seems the old-school antithesis of betting syndicates. Whether or not he is a form of cryptonite-even a small sliver-to them remains indeterminate to me, but one thing IS for sure,: on Wednesday the 2-minute man seized more than a half-million dollars (from horizontal wagers) and left the geeks empty handed.
Hey STR: If you ever get involved with handicapping one day on a regular basis do you think you would pattern yourself after this guy the "2 Minute Man"
