![]() You can't possibly be inferring that it will effect or affect the price. Please don't be telling me that. If so, that is very sad.

Had I posted "a pick" before the race .... I would have "picked" Elite Alex (who was 8/1 on the ML) versus Archarcharch (who was 12/1 on the ML) That's really not even the reason why I don't bother posting picks .... it's because of the ankle-biting I put up with afterwards when one of them losses. |

I see. You don't offer these words of wisdom because you don't know the odds. I'm assuming then you are too busy with 25 minutes to post to come on here and state your opinions before the race yet you have the time to find a chart from the 1896 Gazelle Stakes and cut and paste that to show how clever you are. Come on Drugs. Don't you think you will be criticsized more for your rampant redboarding than being wrong. Everybody is wrong. |

![]() Justin is right. Although, that was a pretty slick reversal attempt by rare bog. Kudos.
Why does "affect" have to be in regards to feeling? That is pretty funny. |

Don't even think it.

![]() You might want to read back on the thread, unless you missed the reason the link to the online calculator was posted. 25/1 odds = a 4% chance. You corrected it to 24/1 odds which is 4.17% rounded. The fact that you thought it was 24 to 1 means you did the math in your head. That you made the mistake happens to anybody. You knew there was a 4 in there somewhere. That you corrected someone else who got it right is the reason that I got annoyed. 1/25 = 4/100
Your situation on the affect/effect argument was basically a reversal of the odds thing. You knew the proper way to do it, someone tried to correct you, but they were wrong. You even spent time looking it up and providing sources. I just found it ironic. Alanis Morissette probably didn't as she improperly identified "irony" in a very catchy song to millions of teenagers. The point about your math skills I just made was a joke about how understanding of basic fractions is probably important when betting. 25/1, as I'm sure you know, means you'll get more money than you would if the horse was 24/1. That's all I'm saying. While we're grammar griping, it always bugs me when people say things like "Joe and I" trying to sound sophisticated when "Joe and me" can be correct depending on the rest of the sentence. |
