    very basic math skills - 7th grade math is enough. And then the know how where to use the math; basically 9th or 10th grade geometry class helped teach the thought process. <--- this with common sense is enough to make a living; though can take it much further in time.

    calling your ticket a loser in the 1st quarter is fine...not ripping it up in the first quarter is the bigger issue here lol

    Patience is definitely key.
    Not placing bets for action is another.

    Thinking outside the box.
    Putting your work in to find profitable betting situations.
    Control of emotions when you lose/go on a bad run.

    You gotta have big fukkin balls most importantly. A little bit of luck and you gotta put the hours in the lab. Its a grind and you have to think about the big picture sometimes. Oh yeah and pick your spots, dont force it.
