Frankly, to spend as much time as you clearly seem to, and then bet only $14, is mind boggling. If you think so little of your own opinion how can you possibly expect anyone else to take you seriously?

Before taking your usual approach, or slamming me on another board, you should actually think about what I'm saying. In this case it's not at all whether you win or lose, but how you play the game......and you don't play it to win.

YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!!!, YOU PLLLLLLAAAAAYYY to WIN THE GAME!!!!

Nice Herm Edwards there Scavs.

I tossed a Smokey and the Bandit line out last week that went by completely unnoticed. Before you fire back, I will say it for you..."Smokey and the Bandit is bootleg, how is anyone going to recognize a line from it?"

BTW

I have thought about your post and have read it thrice and I have no clue what you are trying to say. I agree my bet was a bit reckless, but the prices in the opening leg were hard to pass up, and I injected a ton of potential coin into the play.

In hindsight, I should have added the colt in the last who had about a fifteen percent higher chance of winning than the Five Star Day filly in the eighth, culling her off the ticket. I make many more statistical errors than cappin ones.

If I trashed you elsewhere and you did not deserve it, I apologize. BBB

It wasn't reckless....it was fruitless. Until you even make an attempt to learn to play multi-race wagers, with an actual focus on winning, you will be wasting your time. It is more important to learn to construct tickets in a manner that gives you a chance to win, assuming your opinions are at least OK, than it is to handicap successfully. The most successful bettors I know are far better at putting their play together than they are at handicapping. There's a great deal of ego in this game, and we all have one, but the most important thing is making money, not picking winners. You need to learn that these two things are far from one and the same.

Let me add......take a good luck at the Aqueduct Pick-6 thread from today. The person who won hit it did so because he constructed his play tremendously well, moreso I dare say than he handicapped brilliantly, and I think there is a great deal to be learned from that.

Also, please read " Exotic Betting " by Steve Crist.

Dude, I didn't grow up in the 50's....I know like the Bozo Show (I was actually ON the show and got to bucket 4 and was REAL COMEDY in the process), GI Joe, Transformers, Dukes of Hazzard and Thundercats

Rileyoriley · #11 11-07-2007, 07:58 PM

70's. Burt Reynolds and Sally Field (after The Flying Nun stint).

Thats crazy Scavs. I was on it too, as a contestant also. The game was Bozo's Bezerk Balloon Stomp. I had on a bright orange John Elway jersey and absolutely swept through my opponents. It so happens that in the finale, I went up against a girl who was celebrating her birthday, dusted her (birthday crown and all). She started wimpering after I took it to her, so Bozo, out of compassion I guess, gave her a prize pack as well. Big a$$ crayola set.

HOw ironic that we both participated...

That is wild bro. We are part of the Bozo Hall of Fame, only fitting.

I just pulled out the tape, It was Nov 25th 1986. Were you on it in Boston or Chicago?

thought i'd try, had a number one song about the same time as Smoky came out. Convoy.
back then we had classic lyrics like this in our number one songs,

Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of june
In a kenworth pullin logs
Cab-over pete with a reefer on
And a jimmy haulin hogs
We is headin for bear on i-one-oh
bout a mile outta shaky town
I says, pig pen, this heres the rubber duck.
And Im about to put the hammer down.
