I seriously hope this guy is joking. If not, he needs to stop gambling. I never feel sorry for people but this guy has lost it. And stop calling horses, "it". Kenny Mayne does that and I want to strangle him.
Get some help man. Take up golf or something. You will never win gambling.

Jerry,
You have shared your problems concerning gambling on this board as well as espn on more then one occasion. You have also shared how you are so thankful that there are loved ones in your life who have put their trust and love in you to do right, to make the changes necessary so you can have a good quality of life. According to what you have said previous on this thread you don't care. Nuff said. My friend, I have been in a similar situation albeit that I don't know how much of what you say is the truth anymore. If you are telling the truth, you will no doubt hit a bottom you will never forget. You will be like me a couple years ago living in my 1994 Old Cutlass Supreme with 225,000 miles on it in the dead of winter in the Ohio cold sleeping in a Truck Stop cause it was too cold to sleep in my car because I was too embaressed to come home and say I blew another check on horses and booze. Then, when management asks you too leave cause after a while they figure out you are not a truck driver you are forced to go elswhere. Where will you go Jerry? Sharing personal things on a board like this is good at times and bad at times. Time for you to be dropped off at a homeless shelter for a while and get a grip of reality face first. Or maybe a jail cell? I don't know, but I do know that if I lived in Seattle and you called me to bail you out I would decline, all in the hopes you would see the big picture down the road years to come. Tough luck / tough love. 25 years young / 25 years old - you asked for this because you shared it.

You just said a whole lot. For those that want to make money in horse racing: 1) Don't become an "over your head" bettor. 2) Don't become an owner, unless you can afford top stock and all the rest. 3) Don't become a breeder...see above. 4) Don't become a trainer unless you have the owners that can afford you, even then, sometimes they can't...so get ready to eat it when despite your best efforts, the horse isn't there. Here's how to succeed: 5) Sell hay and feed to the barns. Win or lose, those critters have to eat. 6) Equine medications...though most vets have their own supplies. Find one or two from French labs that tests haven't been devised for yet. 7) Invest in carrots that you can mark up to "visitors" on the back stretch. 8) Trucking these critters is also a good option, just pass on a surcharge for the extra cost of gas/deisel. 9) Find a use for all the manure. Mushroom farming (mycology) is a growth market. 10) Raise rabbits. They grow faster on hay and have better market value, especially to the French restaurants where you can sell the mushrooms.
