I don't really want to argue this any more, especially because nobody won on the race, but 8-1 to 15-1 (plus a scratch) is a LOT closer to 7/2 in a parimutuel pool.

I also said FL would be 30-1, 40-1 versus an admittedly hopeful 15-1 on DL.

The point is, you were wrong also, right? Don't you generally have to be right in order to pat yourself on the back? If anyone could, it would be CP, who was dead on with her odds.

I wasn't right on the race at all. My selection finished a well-beaten 6th. No back patting going on here, guy.

TO be fair, I was live to your house at 8-1 and Hoss horse at 40-1 in the pick 3 for $2.50.... So you both suck.
