You aren't going to get enough SMART people that are DUMB enough to bet horses regularly...certainly not if your means of attracting them is by pitching this silly puzzle thing.

The places you named, as well as downs after dark, do well because they sell it as an event as well as an image. The image of high society with things that appeal outside of racing and gambling. I agree that the backbone is still the gambler but in order to attract new ones you have to change the perception of the track being a seedy place where a bunch of degenerate losers and nursing homers go to waste their lives away.

Vegas didn't get you in by selling you the gambling. They sold the party and lifestyle.

Stick to off topic and sports threads.

Or?

Will you troll me and say mean things to me?

Lets stay on topic. Certainly you are bright enough.

That's rich.

Those are your tactics. Own them, or cry about it in another thread.

The problem is you aren't bright enough for this thread. Which is why I suggested you stick to the areas where you can pretend you are.

Maybe you will make a poll about me. Or better yet, maybe you will threaten me by PM.

Oh I can't wait.

Obviously, you have nothing to contribute. Can you leave this thread alone and start another one for your tantrum? Thank you.

Threaten you? Who did I threaten? What are you talking about? Nice deflection though.

I'm just giving you a taste of your medicine. You criticize everyone for a poor opinion, when in reality, you have one of the worst on the board.

Own it.

That's why I said "one of the worst."

Maybe I should start a poll about it. Or send a threatening pm...you know, that's my style.

And your opinion is so great right? You haven't even offered an opinion on this subject you spineless loser and if you did it was lost in all of the other garbage that you spill on the fifty boards you post on 24/7.

Again, this could be a worthwhile discussion. If you want to sling garbage, start a new thread and I will be happy to engage. If you want to hang out with the grown ups, please comport yourself as such. Thanks.

For the record, you post on more boards than I do and yes, my opinion on most things is a lot better than yours. But, you're on such a roll making stuff up, why stop now?
