I agree.

I'm whining but it's a little annoying that the first two finishers basically ran one-two around the track and Optimist Girl came from way back in dead last.

What can you do. It's not like I won with any clever horses in the sequence. Plus I only put in $280 and I couldn't have hit it for $20K.

I just saw that 5 of 6 paid $316 so if you had that, which it seems you did, for maybe a couple times, at least you didn't lose any money on that play.

Yeah, I had two consos. I also used the hopeless Contessa entry in the 7th ( the second finisher was a " C " for me and I lost the Cs when the first winner won as she was a " B " ).

On the other hand, if the second finisher had won I would have had the Pick-4 for a few bucks on a hedge play. Though, I did well in the finale anyway so it's close to a wash.

I know you are in the business and i know that you are well regarded and i know that you think very very highly of yourself. I can tell all of this from all of your past posts.... That said, how about a little humility instead of all of the arrogance???

What arrogance is that? That poster asked me a question and I answered.

You, frankly, have a great deal of nerve behind your computer. I have given my time on this site, who's idea was it in the first place to have these Pick-6 contests and who monitored them in the past, as well as on Steve's radio show, going over numerous Pick-6 carryovers at absolutely no personal gain to me. What the hell have you contributed and who the hell do you think you are coming on here and both determining how I respond, lecturing, and insulting me?

But, hey, it's all good, as I basically don't post here anymore because of the likes of you.

[PSH]

Everyone has an opinion.....
I have never met you so in one respect you are right...
What right do i have to judge you?
That said, there is a certain tone to all of your answers that maybe i am just misjudging.... Just because you give your time to shows and this board doesn't make you or anyone else, myself included a saint...

It's sad Andy. I was just talking to a fellow DTer yesterday at lunch about you less frequently posting here. We came to the conclusion that you didn't feel like dealing with some of the nonsense on the board and the personal attacks. No less than 24 hours later it happens. I'm sure I'll get reamed for saying this and not that your ego needs stroking (making a joke) but there are some of us out here that enjoy your humor and appreciate your knowledge.

For the record Andy I was kidding you hopefully my little quip didn't provide gasoline to what , unbeknownst to me, was already a raging fire of ill feeling.

If I was pounding your keyboard I would never give out choices here as undoubtedly you would be crucified for other players losing wagers.

I do wish you would learn to use the "ignore" button more so morons like some of the above didn't get under your skin and ruin the opportunity to appropriately exchange thoughts with you.

Who knows maybe you know all about the ignore button and this will never be seen by you.....lol. Either way if you are reading a good number of us enjoy the exchange and wish you weren't so scarce. (sp?)
