Remember once you suck tit it's hard to break the habit

I hate that freakin boat..never win there..but that's a different story..

Band aids serve a purpose too Freddy....although this is more like a full body cast

Less dates, less horses, less folks in the business.. There are too many horses and to little money to fund the industry.. Shouldn't the lottery kick to racing as well?

If you want to talk about the problems in racing, then that will overwhem this little thread...I think its pretty safe to say that the benefits awarded to the casino industry in Illinois far outweigh anything that the State run lottery gets..And I can buy all the lottery tickets I want at the track and they get a piece back in return.

Nobody ever wins there, nobody.

I'm positive the last 2 times I was in there (only play certain games though and play less since they took out most of the quarter video poker ones).

wouldn't go that far.... helps to be lucky though.
Actually, last time I had a purple chip was in there (AAAA on Caribbean Stud). Unfortunately dealer didn't qual, but still a $500 payout for the $1 progressive.
