And no one resembles stock traders more than serious horse players. Potentially, it's a big business. Of the $14 billion wagered on the ponies every year (movie ticket sales last year, by contrast, totaled less than $8 billion), 10 percent of the bettors staked 90 percent of the money. These are hard-core gamblers, info junkies looking for an edge, and they're Racing Form readers.] The average person bets $125 a day at the races, ... A Form user bets $500.” |  Steven Crist quote
