Bingo Stax. You nailed it right here. I have helped countless bettors (well a good amount of folks anyway) take their own subjective skills and see immediate positive results by just considering some of the basic numbers.
You're right...that "little more effort into the number crunching side of things" can become a little more cash in your pocket quicker than you might think. Being able to stack your opinions up against the market in a numerical way, and then diligently track your results will help any bettor's bottom line. Your awareness of the markets will increase, immediately taking you off of some losers and eventually maybe even putting you on to some winners.
To all of us improving....
