Were you a winner or loser this year?

[Byebyemermaid]

If i would have bet Mountaineer only for the whole year i would've shown a profit.But since it took me about 6 months to decide to do that i with heavy heart have to confess i'm below the Mendoza line.

I'm down on horses as well, last i checked it was somewhere in the 350-400 range which all in all, for a year of fun, is so well worth it.

Down on the year...not sure how much. But on a more positive note, I practiced an infinite amount more patience this year at the windows than ever before. So all in all, I am pleased with the year I had. Just trying to continue the learning process.

Kev- You lost enough that last weekend of Saratoga to feed a 3rd world country. Dont think I have forgotten about you throwing chairs and slamming your fist at that simulcast place! Not to mention asking me for a quarter so you could buy a piece of cardboard pizza.

For a second there I swore we were twins separated at birth

K,
If you like Redd Foxx, you owe it to yourself to find and listen to a CD by a guy named Rudy Ray Moore. Your life will never be the same.

it's great stuff. He's a cross between Richard Pryor and Biggie Smalls. 70's stuff. The Godfather of Rap. Find a CD with the track "ABCs" on it. Or, if you can download it, it's certainly worth a dollar. Money back guarantee.

Back in the 1970s, my brother and I were selling raffle tickets for little league. We were going door to door in our neighborhood. We rang the doorbell of a house about two blocks away and you won't believe who answered the door and was renting the house. It was Demond Wilson who played Lamont Sanford on Sanford and Son. Me and my brother were thrilled. We were huge Sanford and Son fans. Wilson was really nice to us. He bought around $10 or $20 worth of tickets. We were talking about if for a week.

Sanford and Son was such a gret show. The whole cast was great. There were some people that weren't on every episode but that were on every once in a while and they were hilarious. I'm talking about people like Julio, Grady, Aunt Esther, Bubba, Rollo, etc. What a great show. It was truly a classic.

Nice story....!

I didn't like the show that much when it first came on the air, but it sure grew on me. I really liked Grady! And Red Foxx was far more talented and accomplished than my kid mind realized at the time.

"Barney Miller" was another classic fave of my mine from the same era.

Just to bring this back to horse racing, "Nick" from Barney Miller was a regular on episode reader of the DRF....

Absolutely thrilled with the naysayers showing up. The same thing happened last year, on the Delmar forum and a couple of the computer people validated my earnings claims. So I started posting there. After posting about a $2000 hit in January 2006 on an $18 bet, then a $10,000 hit in early February on a $32 ticket they now tolerate me.

My home forum is Nola, but I post anywhere.

In no particular order:

Philcski: I hope my last PM was clear.

Hooves: I buy the form in bulk, I use colored pens extensively, marking what is germane to that race such as; par times, internal fractions, turf rails and trainer intent. Collective races and understanding the condition book are strengths.

Point: I do not know what a signature is.

Spider: Thanks for the thread

Scuds: I expect to have the FG pick 4 friday and will post it on this forum. Indeed the year is not over yet.

Rupert: A normal week would be a $24 pick four bet on the best midwest track running on Sunday. I do play when I can get the DRF well ahead of time on Thurs or Friday, again in the midwest. I did play Delmar this past August, but will not again. Keeneland was very good to me this meet. I posted one horse per day 16 days, so $32 for the meet. I hit three winners (with six seconds) and the winners added up to $82, a salty but meaningless ROI indeed.

Apologies to someone about Robbie Albarado. I was live at Louisiana Downs to three horses in the pick 4. And Robbie wiped out two of them, one was 30-1 and I would probably have taken down the pool (some 30,000) had he won. Robbie got seven days, but they paid 3 of 4 and I got almost $400 for each of the three tix. Good cappin. BBB
