That is about right. I do make a few $2000-$5000 bets a year, but no more than 5-6 a year. Showing Up will be one next weekend and if Bright One is better than even money I will be betting $1000 to win on him this weekend.

You wish you are betting that much...Show me a ticket and then I will believe it

Any if you are doing that, which I doubt, you are leaving about $1500 on the table by not playing off shore...and if you are playing offshore, their should be a record of it

Better yet, why don't you meet me at Saratoga next weekend. I will gladly show you my bet on Showing Up. If you can't afford to go, ask somebody else here to verify it.

You have a big mouth, how about $250 (about all you probably have) that I will have 10 tickets for $250 on Showing Up next weekend.

Put up or shut up.

You know what man, I can show you that Jan 1st through August 4th 2006 I have wagered close to 150k this year, through Pinnacle. I have PROOF of this....I can tell anyone that will listen that I have 10 $250 tickets in my hand

how about this...Shut me up with you scanning those 10 tickets and posting it on the board? Just PROVE me wrong...I don't gamble on stupid things like that, I gamble when I have an advantage. Someone that would want to gamble on that is either internet tough or has a little bit of the bug

[Scav]

furthermore, if you are dumb enough to make that wager, and ACTUALLY put that into the US pools, especially an Arlington pool, you need to understand how they make odds.

Lets just say that the total win pool is around 750k, a decent estimate IMO, probably less....that would mean about .33% of the pool is your wager, given the taken out, and Showing up to be about even money, that means 300k on Showing up, or almost 1% of your money on him to win....

Your costing yourself MONEY by putting that in US pools

(These numbers are for argument purposes and are quickly estimated, but some of the smarter people around here will get my point that I am trying to make)

Offshore gambling is nothing more than organized crime. I don't give money to organized crime. It is bad enough they are so involved with NYRA.

Yeah, that is why governments across the world legalize it

Just keep on digging the whole...We might be able to start a specific forum called "Ridiculous posts by Boldruler, a great horse, but a simple mind"

Might be the dumbest quote of the year.

Sorry you are a compulsive gambler but there is nothing I can do to help you. I no longer gamble offshore because horse owners have told me that it is basically stealing money from the purses. I am not about to make my bets and run off to the Kinkos in downtown. I will gladly find somebody here that will be at Saratoga next weekend. I think after I meet them next Sunday or Monday morning or at the sales you will finally get the answer why I root for the Lael horses.

if your the man you can surely prove EVERYONE wrong and scan them, 10 minutes of your time for people to stop harassing you and PROVE your point

And forget the pity party about stealing money from the purses, the takeouts are ABSORBANT and ridiculous

Don't really care why you root for Lael Horses either, you could be Roy Jackson for all I care, wouldn't impress me one bit, ESPECIALLY with how you act around here...

Sorry for saying something actually on topic but. . .

Bernardini won't win the Eclipse award unless he wins or does very well in the BC in addition to a commanding win in the Travers. I say commanding because chances are that it's going to be another weak field. He has to run against the older horses to equal (and probably pass) the quality of Barbaro's opponents. Showing Up's success could actually impact this in my opinion. If he wins next weekend, he should improve Barbaro's chances since they're both Lael horses and Barbaro was the better of the two. If Bluegrass Cat wins the Haskell and doesn't race in the Travers that may also help Barbaro.

I dunno. . . maybe that doesn't make any sense. . . ok. . . back to the bickering

I am living proof that he has wagered that much....I had access to his Pinnacle account for a loooong time.
