PP’s are difficult to give up in traditional form for people of any age. I actually brought up the idea of the Ipad because I was reading a thread on a chat board where people (yes some older people :)) were chatting about how they read them on their handhelds and kindle now. I was kind of floored, because it seems so hard to do when you are used to something like the drf.

From the post recently we had here called “positioning”, I could not agree more about the rest of your thoughts. This is (in my opinion) bar none the most interesting and challenging mental mind game in all of betting.

I was bemused a few posts back Dean when you talked about the Ipad. As a member of the “older demographic” I am married to my past performances. Studying the PP’s for hours a week is a window into the why’s and how’s and who’s of winning at the track. It’s what turns my betting activity into an intellectual pursuit and seperates it from buying scratch tickets. I take exception to the idea that PP’s are some relic of the past that only the “older demographic” care about.

Ok, good stuff here at r2 collective. Enough ranting from a near term AARP member.

Given the success of celebrity sites like TMZ, I can see this taking off.
