I love it when people take pride in delivering bad news.

Stay hot.

TitanSooner 05-23-2007 05:18 PM

agreed.. that's pretty low.

justindew 05-23-2007 05:25 PM

Well, I'm 0 for 2, and probably on my way to 0 for 6. Serves me right for trying to beat the favorite in Leg 1.

TitanSooner 05-23-2007 05:32 PM

I'm right with you.

There are a few (a very few) angry/hurtful people here... I sent someone a PM letting them know as politely as I could that I didn't appreciate their "joke" on another post (a line about "DerbyTrail keepads" after I complimented Steve) and I got an insulting/hateful reply back... not even a "sorry, bad joke" - instead I was insulted. Not cool at all :mad:

Other than that, my experience here has been great :)

A lot of sensitive people here today

I am 0 for 4 already. Is that better????
then again I played only 16 bucks

justindew 05-23-2007 06:15 PM

I'm not sensitive. I just thought you sounded like an idiot breaking my balls when I lost $1,156 right off the bat. It just seemed like a classless thing to do. I don't know many true horseplayers who do stuff like that.

But whatever. It's not my first big losing ticket, and it won't be my last.

blackthroatedwind 05-23-2007 06:19 PM

That was very lame.


I hit a big Pick-6 a couple years ago and posted every horse I used on another board, race by race, and while many/most congratulated me, one jackass went on a crusade that I didn't hit it and needed to offer proof.

Just think how annoyed that poster would have been had you hit. It'll happen.

Danzig 05-23-2007 06:21 PM

there's one in every family....

justindew 05-23-2007 06:28 PM

Yeah, it bothered me for about 10 seconds. You gotta move on. What sucks for me is I'm probably going to hit 4 of 6, and there won't be a carryover.

eajinabi 05-23-2007 06:38 PM

hey I got Idiot Proof on my ticket.
matter of fact I singled him
so I am now 1 out of 5 going into the last race.

robfla 05-23-2007 06:41 PM

thats one of the reasons I rarely tell anyone my plays before a race. Especially live at the track. most people are rooting for me to lose. weird thing about horse gamblers they love to point out when you lose

justindew 05-23-2007 06:43 PM

It's not just horse gamblers. Come to think if it, it's not just gamblers.

Danzig 05-23-2007 06:44 PM

no-win situation.
if you don't post picks, and you hit, you get abused.
if you post, and miss, you get abused.
post, hit, get abused for not posting soon enough!
