I'd rather admit im wrong and have the money left in my wallet.

hey, you make too much sense. i try to pick winners , i could care less who trains,rides or owns. keep reading these threads (arguments). most of these folks are driven by emotion and i think they bet that way. if i talk like this, most of them think i'm an idiot and don't get it or don't want to....bookies, tracks, casinos love emotional people.........you have to be a cold hearted, judgmental (analytical bastard) person to cash in this game.....being a "fan" and arguing over 6-5 shots never paid my bills. i'm guessing that you can handicap a race because you already "got it"....pari mutuel wagering is NOT a popularity contest...its picking the right horse, at the right price, at the right time.. i mostly read this stuff to see what the "crickets" are chirping about as you say. then i comment here and there just to stir the pot and see how many more dumb responeses i can laugh at.....you really want to laugh? check out that political thread section........its full of geniuses......lol
