Make sure to check out Mr. Tuttle's blog site (http: //thetuttlemathpsm.com/), for winning picks and much more. Plus, it's a wonderful way to read some very lengthy excerpts of all nine of his horse handicapping books currently selling on Amazon.com. Although (going by the subtitle), this book was written with "Bigger" Football Bettor's in mind; its teachings are useful for the Beginner/Novice; as well as the Avid football bettor. The "systems" discussed in this book are absolute light years ahead of their time, yet Mr Tuttle has been implementing them now for the past 6 football seasons And now, he's finally ready to go "public" with his applied theories and methodologies. Thank you to all of my fans. Signed, Joseph J Tuttle

"Trainer" is a "novella" by definition. It's a little under 73 pages in length (6 total chapters), and a bit more than 11,000 total words. The Author's previous eight books pertain to the world of handicapping either sports or horses. And by simply typing his name in a Google or Amazon search (Joseph J Tuttle) you'll be able to look-up his other efforts. The story revolves around an "old-timer" horse trainer that goes by the character name "Pops." And, it delves into many different sub-plots, while still being very succinct in its nature. This book is very James Carroll-esque, in the way in which Mr. Tuttle incorporates a lot of actual events from the past; while also using many anecdotal situations from his own life; along with an unusual use of "embellishing" that helps to make this short story ("novella") quite the entertaining read. Additionally, Mr. Tuttle expresses an honest willingness to possibly collaborate with someone, in developing this story into a screenplay.

Recently revised from the Mid-February edition as of 11/01/08. I've made a very concerted effort to try and incorporate as much pertinent horsemanship knowledge into the chapters; as a way to better serve the novice; average, or below average horseplayer. I truly believe that after reading this book, you will immediately come away with a better sense of yourself (as a horseplayer), and will soon realize where exactly it is you want to be as a horseplayer. Or, you might have a wonderful epiphany and realize that maybe you too can become a more successful horseplayer. Maybe, a "professional" I must admit that if you're taking yourself at all seriously, you are also going to need my newest horse handicapping book... "The Tuttle Way" or "The Tuttle Way II." are a bit more advanced, and it can only help further your development as a Horseplayer.

Plus, it's a wonderful way to read some very lengthy excerpts of all nine of his horse handicapping books currently selling on Amazon.com. This book is a bit more "advanced," and tackles a lot of "Now" issues. Plus, it talks in great detail about Mr. Tuttle's "step-by-step" way in which he handicaps, hence the title....."The Tuttle Way."
