Odds fowler actually had friends up and urged them to bet Serling's picks....10,000,000,000 to 1.

Odds he is just using this as a backhanded stab:

1-100.

I have a friend who was running the in annual 5k over at Belmont during Stakes week. We met up at the track in time for the last race that day, and my friend, who had never been to the track before, was keen to place his first bet. I'm not a handicapper by any stretch of the imagination, so when he asked who he should bet on, I told him I saw tweet from Andy Serling that said he wasn't going to try and beat the 7 horse in the finale.

The 7 won. My friend was thrilled to cash a ticket, even if it was a small one, on his first bet ever.

Thanks, Andy.

ETA - And now, just this last Saturday, this friend was arguing with me on who would win the Travers.

I laughed.

This might be the same a$$clown ('SerlingisaPiker' or whatever the f his name is) that harrasses him on Twitter.

hey, i always say if you're going to do it, take pride in it. the one you mentioned would get more respect than someone like fowler, with his backhanded roundabout dig.
