Any big payouts for y'all lately?

Nothing wrong with a little gloating when you throw a 65/1 shot in your exactas play AND you take it home, over an 11/1! Gotta love that.

Forgot to mention this earlier, but, I think it is fitting you cleaned up on the nightcap at Churchill, which was $10,000 claimers I think? For the self professed low level claimer lover who thrives on the $4,000 claimers at Turfway, Mountaineer, Finger Lakes, etc.

Congrats again!

TY sir.

Yeah, I'll always be a guy who wins way more with the **** claimers than with the Alw 44Kn2x races at Belmont.

After having a decent week playing Churchill, I went on tilt yesterday and wiped out my entire online account - the race you won on ate my last $150... I'm taking a little time off so I don't blow $500 in one day again

Seriously though, nice hit!

ouch... sorry to hear that man.

You just had an "off-day". We all have them.

I've seen a lot of talk about people giving up the game for awhile and bla bla bla bla bla. Not to sound indifferent ot it or anything, but we've all had our bad streaks.

Not in every form of gambling, but in horse racing I think you can apply it to a jump shooter (basketball) in a slump. How does a basketball shooter get out of a slump, they keep shooting. If you're making good, educated decisions in your bets, the same kind that have won you $$$ in the past, stick with it. That knowledge will eventually get you moving in the other direction... back to the good streaks I mean.

Except a jump shooter can't end up in debt for decades if he keeps missing jumpers.. If that were the case, Kobe would be screwed.

Very true, and that's why I said it doesn't count for all kinds of gambling. So if you lose at Blackjack, DON'T KEEP PLAYING. That advice above doesn't count.

But if your betting stretegy (in horse racing) has made you plenty of $$$ and has worked for years, why change? That same strategy will still win you money. I'm saying we all go through our losing streaks. It just can take longer than we want to get out of them (for me: see most of 2006). But if you quit playing for awhile, when you decide to come back, use the same strateegery.

I say gloat gloat all you want. I hit a nice little pick 4 the other night at Los Al. That has been about it for me lately.

Well, as mentioned earlier, you inspired me to throw something together for today, so I played a $12 late pick 4 at HOL 10 times...

Hit it, $1 payout was $77, so $65 profit played 10 times is $650.

I'm happy with that going into Monday

[pmayjr]

nice hit!!!!

You know you're gonna give a lot of ti back tomorrow lol... I probably will too unfortunately. That's why I paid a bunch of bills with the $$$ and mailed them off NOW, so I can't blow too much of it hehe.

[Danzig]

congrats on that hit! very nice.

[2MinsToPost]

I smashed my hand loading a bunch of corn onto a cart. It was a big hit.

[pmayjr]

I watched that movie with Markie Mark and Lou Diamond Phillips, what was that called again? Oh yeah... The Big Hit
