Trying To Make Money On Big Brown Today...

[TheSpyder]

I rekon you made $12.70 on an $80 bet. You won. But I think the point everyone was tryiing to make is chasing such a low return with $80 over the long run is a losing proposition.

If you're happy so be it but it's not a way to play the ponies in general.

I can't really complain since you did better than be today....but tomorrow that's a different story.
