Xpress Bet Says No To Bridge Jumpers

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Here's the chart of the race I was talking about from the 2010 Preakness Day.

It was a race at Calder and the 1/10 favorite broke down on the lead.

Someone I was sitting near had $8,000 bet to show on the horse. There were other bridgejumpers who took a bath with him on this horse.

I remember this race precisely. I had Pick 3's worth $900 with him winning.

The shocking thing here to me is that someone was actually publically willing to admit that they are a bridgejumper.

Believe it or not .... every once and a blue moon a situation comes along where it makes perfect sense to toss a couple grand at a bridgejump horse.

Mostly though - it's a highly idiotic play.

According to Steve Crist article the guy made a $2600 bet for a $130 profit at GG and a $2400 bet for a $120 profit at SA. Those bets aren't bridgejumping, maybe stoop jumping but not bridgejumping. If that is correct this is totally ridiculous of Xpressbet.
