"Tommy, for only one year's experience, you are
excellent, Not many people with even five years' experience
know the game as good as you,"
"Well, thanks Marcel. I've been doing good. At least
before I came to Daytona."
"Don't worry, you will do much better from now on."
"Do you think that speed will make that much of a
difference?"
"Yes, but it's more than that. Please tell your
readers not to expect overnight success from these simple
steps. I've got almost 25 years of racing experience.
But yes, I can safely say that with speed, your readers
will win more races."

| You know, I made $160,000 in the last three months. And
that includes three twin-tri's and three tri-supers. Do you
know how hard it is to hit one twin- tri or one tri-super
just once in your life, much less six times in just the last
three months? |
| |
| In order for you to be successful, you
must be totally selective about which race you choose to put
your money into and which race you decide to leave for the
Saturday night house number crowd to bet on instead? Do you
see?" "Yes!" |

Tears almost came to my eyes. A thousand bucks blown
on races. But man, was it worth it. I know that if Marcel
would have just told me this in a lecture, I would have
missed the point and continued to lose forever. It took
my own green cash-to see it turn into worthless tickets-in
order to understand that I had played numerous races in
my own quest for self- esteem these past four days. And
it took this honest man, with tons of patience, to help
show me that I must never forget the lesson.
And that you, and only you, must decide if the race has
a distinct advantage for you. And this is something that
neither the crowd, nor your buddy, nor the tote board
or tip sheet can do for you.
"Marcel, thanks for teaching me this lesson."

| Marcel had given me years of insight in
just four days. At 12:45 the next afternoon, I made my last
Daytona show, the Monday matinee. In the first race, with
a last-minute hunch, I played the 1-3-7 with the 2 with 1-3-4-7-8
and the 2 with 1-3-7- with 1-3-4-7-8 and the 5 (the favorite)
I won the trifecta for $388.80.Having learned my lesson, I
then watched the rest of the races as now, with almost half
of my losses back, it was a good place in this story to quit
racing and go home. |

Yes, It's been a great month since I met Marcel-and it's
going to be a great forever!
He taught me so much, (even though I didn't take his
course) including money management to never cash those
big winning tickets right then but to consider them money
and not winnings and to collect the money some other time,
when you are more cool and rational, as after a big win,
we all get cocky, and we try to win again in the next
race, which unfortunately is a too-hard-to-call race.
And then we start to lose again. DON'T DO IT!
