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

Why are you still posting on this thread? I mean, I realize Andy jumped in AFTER you proclaimed it wasn't worth your time and now you want to take any chance to look witty in front of him. But stick to your guns, man.

You are, in fact, male, right?

Taking shots at my man is definitely not going to curry favor with me.

The irony here is priceless.

Picking losers is not as easy as one would think. I knew a guy that would put up any amount of money that his opponent couldn't pick 100 consecutive losers. Had to be on the same curcuit with no races passed. He won much more often than he lost.

Much easier to do at a slots track in the mid-atlantic with gyp trainers starting nags in almost every race with big field sizes -- than tracks that offer quite a few small fields but relatively more competitive racing.

I think it would make a pretty cool long term contest to see who could pick the highest percentage of favorites who finish worse than 3rd.

Yeah. My guy always offered the play in So. Cal. To this day remember the one time I tried it. Was at loser 96 when in the first race at Santa Anita a horse who a week before had been trounced at Caliente named Bigbadandmean trained by Anthony Hemerick scooted home at 46-1 in a seven horse 10k claimer. During the sequence there were several times I had to survive close scrapes with 2nd place finishes sometimes pretty close photos. Not as easy as one might think.

Im very good at this. I beat favorites daily, the problem is I beat them with the wrong horses most of the time.
