Default TVG

Since switching over from HRTV, I'm surprised I can build a coin collection, have a hose that folds up and have a pan that you can burn cheese in and it won't stick. Every night I learn more. Plus I think they sell those jellyfish mind pills that will help my handicapping. I really don't need that because I have Paul Lo Duca making my tickets. I have a whole cast to make my tickets. It's like Hollywood Squares in the old days.

Would you rather they had no advertising and went out of business?

At this point I probably wouldn't care less. I can get anything I want on the internet.Plus I don't have to suffer listening to them. I cringe every time I hear Kurt Hoover handicapping quarter horses.

Wouldn't be the worst case scenario!

I'm on nyra.com all day. The only time I turned on TVG was to see Winx run and I see some guy selling coins. The other night they split-screened coins and trotters and had the audio from the coins. Plus they put poor Hoover at Los Al doing QH. He's getting very good because he's hanging out with Les, but what a waste of a great talent.

Thanks to Schrupp with his gratingly lame catchphrases I can no longer listen to "Loser".

And his brand of humor is obviously contagious to his co-workers.

I'd rather they hire Alec Cabacungan to replace Schrupp. He'd do a better job and he has a knack for sports statistics.

It's a giant chuckle-fest geared towards driving uneducated bettors toward high risk, low reward horizontal bets. These are not for the casual bettor.

And they have a Pick 4 someplace else the next race. I watched one night and they rolled off about $1000 in Pick 4 tickets and never hit one. It's an ADW shill.

Paul Lo Duca was traded for Hee-seop Choi. And I'm going to play a pick 4 on his advice ? He spent 10 years in the minor leagues for god sake. He was an All-Star, but they have to pick somebody from every team. By his last year even pitchers were stealing on him. He may hold the record still for most stolen bases vs. a team.

He's ĺike this great baseball player. He got traded for Hee-seop Choi for gad sakes.

Apparently he's not playing any of his tickets because by now he'd be flat broke and standing outside the track with a paper cup.

Update: Vic has already worked for TVG so in order for him to qualify for the new thread we will have to include Iggy Puglisi and a booster seat.

The tout I worry about the most on TVG is Mike Joyce. For years I thought he was one cliche away from going full Patrick Bateman.

He had to announce a race recently when the regular track announcer wasn't piping thru the feed. I'm not sure what he was doing, some kind of Scottish accent maybe, but it was hilarious.

I think I bought some coins from him, or maybe it was that non-stick pan or the hose.
