Y'know this reminds me of Geldedman's AKA Stallion's story about how he was looking for a pizza parlor one day and happened upon an otb parlor.

Bet every horse in the field and cashed on a $70 winner.Then learned how to read the racing form and ended up a raging alcoholic living in the woods.

What I never understood is how he was able to post on an internet message board from the woods.

Win Wagers... no more than one or two per day.... no wager days should out weigh multi wager days.... make each of your wagers count

I would play VERY conservatively. My one fear is the way the economy is now, it would be hard for me to take job offers seriously.

Where I work, we haven't laid anyone off, but rescinded several job offers that were made in January and February.

Your situation would make me nervous, but I do have a wife and child to think about, too.

If you take that $2k and play, I wish you the best of luck!!!!

You certainly are more testicular fortified than I am.

I wouldnt pull the trigger on a bet, unless I was brimming with confidence. Like was said on here earlier, I would do straight WP bets and maybe a heavy exacta here and there. Pick your spots CAREFULLY.

Yea, or that. I find playing against other people with their actual money in front of them to be the route to riches. ...I have Showboat's bad beat jackpot in clear sight!

How've you been Kev? Hope all is well with ya!
