There's always like a market setting person or machine in there - it's tough to explain, but he/they set the tone and act like a big fish trying to gobble up all the little minnows. It's frustrating sometimes - but they ensure liquidity and once you get a feel - you can figure out which offers they'll likely match or ignore.

I'd almost always have some action both ways on almost every race.

I've had so many emo meltdowns it wasn't even funny. You could be having a great day - and step into one huge trap and lose 2K on a race.

The worst day I ever had in my entire life betting was opening day of Belmont Spring in 2004. I went zero for the card and had 3 or 4 horses I made significant play against win. I had to lose about 8K or so that one day alone - most of it was my own money. I remember running to KMart to Western Union them money and it was in just in time to get buried some more. I had quite a few awesome runs - but when you get hit, you get hit hard.
