My idea for a new wager that all of you will undoubtedly ridicule

I was wrong. It happens.

Wow, I haven't been on DT for a while. It seems like the mood has gotten far angrier than usual.

I wasn't being smug or twisting anything. You said bets that require one to pick a losing horse never work. I then asked if you were against betting exchanges, which require that very thing. I mean, was it not a legitimate question?

So far, I have gotten three explanations for why my idea for a bet can't work:

1) Because it's stupid
2) Bets that make you pick the winner can't work
3) The name is stupid

Feel free to add to the list.

I didn't see the question mark.

That changes everything. Well, maybe not everything.

Who's angry?

The guy who alluded to me as a pathetic, smug jerkoff.

That would sort of qualify as cutting and pasting....don't you think?

I better go before someone mistakenly thinks I'm being serious and then decides to use the opportunity to take an idiotic shot.

Oops, too late.

So, then you DO like the idea of my bet? I'm confused here. Where was the mistake on the part of me and the other posters?

You've never made a mistake....save perhaps your recent facebook picture.

Look, the family was breaking my balls for not posting enough shots of myself with the baby. I hate having my picture taken. Hate hate hate. I can't smile on demand. I have a huge head, which limits acceptable angles. And my hairline, even though it stopped receding about 10 years ago, isn't helping matters. It's a sad state of affairs.

Luckily, the baby will inherit her mother's good looks. So she has that going for her.

A title of Pathetic, smug jerkoff around here should be a badge of honor... certainly nothing to get defensive about.

I'm seriously considering only posting in the form of Haiku's from now on.

Would PG be allowed in the contest?

Yo Andy,

You're a hell of an handicapper and I really enjoy watching you on NYRA but you need to get over that small guy complex.
What's the deal with putting eveyone down? You have a career that most us on this site are jealous of so chill out dude.
