Default Loyalty

Growing up at The Big T I once bet on a 60/1 shot Powerdette who finished last. I decided that day I would bet $2 on that horse everytime it ran thinking one day it would wake up and win at tremendous odds. This carried on for two years. Each time the odds seam to get larger and the results never changed.

Then one day I picked up the Cleveland Plain Dealer and read where a horse has electocuted itself on the walking ring...yep it was Powerdette.

The moral of the story is you will be more loyal than the horse.

I do bet Roberto firsters though with some really good success, especialy on the grass.
