You just have to take the bad with the good. Keep doing what you're doing.

I gotta tell you a story......

Alive in the late Pick 4 at Churchill last year. Had 6 of 11 in the finale. A 60-1 shot bolts to the lead, runs very quick fractions and I think I'm good. No way that SOB goes all the way. Well, you can figure out what happens.......and my 6 horses finish 2,3,4,5,6,7 (the least of which would have paid $4k)............

What makes it worse was that some lady next to me goes nuts. I'm thinking she really hit something. She tells her friends "I won! I won! I had $2 to show on the 4!!" The 4 was the fav that finished 3rd. I don't know what held me back from punching her in the nose........

Point is, this isn't the worst bad beat story, but it can get worse. Just do like I did (after a 3 hour drive home to stew)......... and keep on going.
