That's what I'm getting at. Dunbar understood me best. Anyone can come on here and say that they wagered $1000 on a horse and nobody knows if it's true or not. I could easily say I wager $15k per day at the track. But I was trying to come up with a way to sort of put up or shut up. Putting up your ability to post on here is at least risking something. It is a form of wagering.

I believe every post should begin and end with " I am an idiot, used to be only my friends knew it, now everyone knows it ".

Sort of a daily affirmation.

Is that really risking something? Putting up your ability to post on here for a week?

I like the idea Sniper had. If you're wrong, you put it in your signature for a week. That way you'll be risking having the board shame for a week.

BTW's daily affirmation idea is also not bad. My signature could be "Everyone already knows I'm an idiot". Aw yes, brings back memories of childhood.

I think a compromise of having to stay and endure the shame and taunting for a week and then being forced to stay off would be workable.

Has DRF published any past performances for BC entrants yet? I can't access their website at my workplace and I won't have a home computer and printer hooked up for another couple weeks. Wanted to pick up a hard copy of pps at the local track this weekend if possible. Thanks
