Flash forward about 15 years and I worked in New York at WTC Tower 2 and used to collect 5 bucks from my coworkers each Thursday and take a walk to OTB to place a bet. If we won it was blown on lunch at Luna's on Friday and the remainder Friday night at Jermey's. Hit a horse named Carjack a couple times... I Used to simply look for horses winning last time out at the highest odds...

My first bets were all at Liberty Bell too. I had a friend in high school whose uncle was a professional gambler. They had a reserved box at the track so we thought we were very important.
I first went to see Niatross run and was hooked from there.
