Isn't the plan to play 10 head to head matches for $1000 each? With due respect they seem to be stand alone encounters.

What if a person lost all of the first five? I wouldn't blame anyone for searching for greener pastures.

I suppose if you wanted to base it strictly on the cumulative results perhaps, we could each put $10,000 in some sort of escrow controlled by a third party.

They are stand alone and by playing all 10 it eliminates some of the variance. I am trying to eliminate a situation where the person I was playing wins first 2 then quits. Additionally I have no intention of not honoring my word and playing entire 10 even if I get pounded 10 times in a row. Won't change my life one wy or another.

If you want to play for $1000 a day/week forever I'm fine with that.

I can use the extra money.

What's not going to happen is me agreeing to lose $1000 on a day that I cannot play.

Wow.. So humble. It's pick and pray plan accordingly. Furthermore it is Saturdays from Mid Feb until Mid March pretty certain you will be playing horses. Not giving anyone an out to quit after an early lead.

Actually, my horse playing during that time is myopically concentrated on Oaklawn.

I have the pre-race show with Nancy Holthus. I also do a bi-weekly (TGPS) Thorograph Player Services Seminar.

Plus, I'm calling full cards at Oaklawn Fri, Sat & Sun.

And frankly a person should be able to play or not play whenever he or she sees fit.

Perhaps we should re-visit this in the summer when Del Mar and Saratoga are running?

Oaklawn isn't on HorseTourneys.

Or if you'd like to go head to head for a side $10,000 at the NHC I'd be more than happy to do that.

$20,000 if you're dual qualified.

No thanks. NHC is boom or bust. Completely different strategy than Head to Head or everyday play.

You have until after Super Bowl to think it over after all according to you it is easy money... Summer is out way too much going on.

I've thought it over.

I'll leave you and Dahoss to yourselves.

I guess if you wish to continue to belittle people for posting picks and being excited about our game. That's how you roll.

The guy was just trying to share his thoughts.

Good luck at the NHC.
