Why I am giving up on this game

[AeWingnut]

I've been in a valley ever since I put Vision and Verse on top of Lemon Drop Kid, Charismatic and Best of Luck. (I didn't think Menifee had the pedigree for the Belmont) with one little blip on Breeder's Cup day. Haven't had to sign a tax form for a year. Used to sign once a month.

I don't know if you are the kinda person that would be happy betting $1 exotics or not. That's all I do. I also quit going EVERY weekend. It may be harder to get a feel for a track but it's the cost of gas and all.

I do know one thing, a week feels like a month.

I think the title of this thread should be on the back of one of the Derby Trail shirts.....

I was thinking a list of top ten quotes would be hilarious on the back of a DT shirt-

Scavs: speaking from personal experience....the good thing about you is you're not timid about making a bet.....the downside is I think you plunge too much coin into your bets. I do exotics....a nice tribox or wheel is good to get! Many on DT do the pic3 and pick4 and are successful. So..maybe tri a new thing like the tri or 10exbox..or at least have a cap on your bet so it doesn't cripple you! You're the first guy to say hi to me on the old board..so I've got a soft spot(in the head) for your success. Just win,baby

Thank you everyone. I agree with everything that is said. Who knows where it will go from here, at least I am not playing/watching tomorrow because of mother's day, so I will get a good 8 days away from this crap, definetly needed

When the game becomes a grind and you start doubting yourself its time to take a break
Take some time off-don't look at entries or results (harder to do during the Triple Crown)
When you are ready you'll go back fresh and full of confidence again

Dog, don't give up. Just start light and get some house money, then uncork.

Well, the game is a grind. That's not necessarily a bad thing however.
