I forgot what a rush it is to bet the ponies

As long as you set aside money, you’re gonna lose that’s fine. Horse racing number one is a dying sport and secondly the juice is too much.
@rdalert447 does it better than anyone I’ve seen with documented plays.

Sticks to an exact amount every race he plays. Doesn’t chase. Goes on some losing streaks because he tends to play longer shots but he’s streaky and the cash can pile up in a hurry with the odds he plays consistently.

And doesn’t seem to sweat if he loses several hindered over the course of a meet.

Aren't you the guy that says you only pay juice if you lose.
The juice is only too high on spreading exotics like triples and supers.

Stop bashing a sport that you can actually gain an advantage in by being selective and putting in the time properly.

It’s been dying for 60 years now. Some how they keep breaking attendance and handle records. Makes you wonder ? Actually, it doesn’t.

Racing is on a massive decline every year at least one race track is closed

Places empty
Addition by subtraction. Who will miss bottom of the barrel racing or in some cases a lesser product within the state.
Racing is just fine and… cleaner than it has ever been wherever HISA has jurisdiction.

jay is this u



I’ve seen that one before. Classic

The crazy thing is I could go to my local track right now. Today on a random Tuesday - just to observe - and see scenarios like that play out time and time again with people yelling foolish stuff rooting on their picks on a $5k Claimer at Parx or somewhere similar.

My buddy from Kentucky introduced me to horse racing back in 2012 and I got instantly hooked as a degenerate. I went with him almost every year to Golden Gate Fields to bet the triple crown races usually the day before. I agree it is addicting and I can see how those poor saps who were retired could spend most of their free time at the track. Sadly they closed Golden Gate Fields so I don't have a track to go to anymore but I still bet the triple crown races using Fanduel for their pretty good promos during the Triple crown races. It's not the same betting on the app versus going to the window to bet at the track though.

Scenes like the one Cincy posted are almost as common, but not quite, as the guys that will always come up to you showing their ticket and explaining how they were “one off” from a huge payday. Or letting you know they got the horses correct but in the wrong order in the exotics.
