I never said there was an advantage, per se. But with wagers like the Pick 6 and maybe the Pick 4, bigger pools give you a chance at a bigger score. There is no way that the Pick 6 at Hollywood yesterday would have paid $500,000 on a regular day because there would not have been that much in the pool.

Also, I refuse to take actual action on my Street Sense prediction because I swore not to bet on horses until Travers Day.....unless there is a big Pick 6 carryover.

Actually you added the Pick 6 carryover after the fact. Why not modify your announcement to take action on your ridiculous claim about Street Sense?

Nvmd...don't answer that.

Yes, I know. Hence the ".........". Does anyone on this board understand self-deprecation?

I understand that you're a chump who has no accountability. Not that i'd expect anything less from a blogger.

Not an unexpected attitude from a guy with over 4,000 posts in less than a year.

Remind me how I am not accountable and you are? I missed that part.

That's funny you would insult a horse racing fan considering you're an aspiring journalist and people like me are your target audience.

Insulting me for post count is also insulting GPK, Cajungator, Scav, Danzig, blackthroatedwind, DaHoss9698, hooves, Downthestretch, etc.

Keep digging your hole.

Except they don't break my balls because I won't take their action on Street Sense. And they didn't insult me for being a blogger.

Nice try though.

...and I'm still waiting for you to explain the whole accountability thing. What is it exactly that makes me unaccountable? Is it the fact that I use my real name? The fact that I keep a running list of my predictions for everyone to read? Or the fact that I list all of my wagers in "Selections"?

Still waiting.

And more than one person here agrees with me on Street Sense. Are they negative too?

I have a question. Do you consider yourself a journalist?

When it comes to guaranteed pools I look at em Like I would a guaranteed pool in Poker like an online tourney

It lets you know how much is going to be in it while it could also be more.

So take it with a grain of salt I say.
