Hilarious. Thank you for my first out-loud laugh of the morning (as opposed to the ones that are only in my head).

did you take off your shirt again???

Hey Lori it's in the 40's today here in Chicago and with 2 weeks of sub zero weather it feels like 60. Still would rather be celebrating Fat Tuesday on your balcony than here. My God Fort Lauderdale is a nice place.

It is hot in West Palm Beach right now. It is probably in the 80s. I want to go lay out in the sun and bake!

I guess I shouldn't have posted that and had some consideration for others that aren't so lucky right now. It is just what I was thinking as I was driving back from getting some Chick Fil A for lunch.

Most of the Generalizations are true.

I'm 25 and from Suburban Minneapolis. I'am single... and it might have something to do that I spend a lot of times at Canterbury on the weekends. But, I don't stay so late that I can't go meet friends for a drink around 10 or so.

To maybe take it in a different direction, at least for me- I'am independent enough where I can spend the $$$ on gambling right now. No wife and kids to direct my $$$ towards. One day hopefully I'll meet a nice woman (or a Cajun Gator) that will be worth my time and $$$, so I'm not at the track. I of course plan on having my priorities in order in terms of expenses once I have a stable family life, but my wife will have to be comfy with me goin to the track when time and $$$ can spare it haha.

That would kill me to lose that kind of money knowing I could have spent it on my child.

I liked being single and would have stayed that way had it not been for meeting my wife (special one in a world where there are so many not so special ones). It was a lot easier gambling when I was single because I had more disposable income and I didnt stress about when I had to be home.
Thank God my wife knows how much I love horse racing and shes not the kind of person who wouldnt take that away from me, irregardless of the bad stigma that comes with guys who gamble on horses. Creating a nice balance between the 2 (horse racing & having a great marriage) is the best of both worlds.
You can't really blame PointGiven1985 for losing $900 at the track -- it actually could have been much worse -- hell, he could have sold the kid for gambling money.

I may just get to meet you guys on FL Derby day! I don't know yet if we are doing the FULL weekend show that weekend and if we are I won't be able to make it, but it is still up in the air. If we aren't doing the horse show, I will be there!

I guess I'm just average:

1. White

2. Graduate degree

3. I was 15 my first time (1981 Haskell at Monmouth)

4. New Jersey

5. 41

6. Never been to another board. Checked this one out to find Byk's Picks after listening to ATRAB.

7. Bet +/- $ 20 per race although this is increasing as I play more Pick 3s & 4s after reading Exotic Betting & having some success.

8. Not applicable as I'm over 40. But I am married and have a 5 yo son (He's already been to Monmouth, Saratoga, Aqueduct, Belmont and Tampa Bay Downs) My wife had never been to the track before she met me. He first trip to the track was Smoke Glacken's Sapling at Monmouth. She now picks winners simply by looking at the horses in the paddock and has had a fair amount of success usually better in sprints.

Interesting Thought
 
1. White.

2. College Degree

3. First went to the races at about age four at Arlington Park with my mom. Been going ever since.

4. From Chicago, though spent my share of time on the coasts. Best of both worlds!

5. 23, slightly outside your demographic prediction.

6. Came from ESPN, after about an 18 month horse-message-board hiatus

7. Usually bet between $125-$200 a day. Usually focusing on win bets and pick-3 wagers.

8. Most of the under 40 crowd are not married. Especially the men on here. Not married.

Why is the bigger question? Has nothing to do with horse racing......:mad:
