There's a guy that's always asking for 40 cents or 60 cents .. I can just see him standing by the concession line trying to sell a free hot dog voucher for 80 cents.

I'm having this romantic vision of homeless men leaving with slabs of prime rib in their pockets and shoving cookies in their socks.

One Christmas Eve, when I lived in Boston, I got out of work and was feeling sort of depressed because I was going to be spending the Holiday alone. On my way to the subway station I saw a homeless father, his daughter and their cat and dog huddled outside of the station cooking themselves dinner. I stopped into the corner mart and bought a bunch of food, including dog and cat food and brought it back to the family and wished them a Merry Christmas.

Sometimes we really don't realize how lucky we really are to have the very basic of things and how little efforts can mean so much to someone without them.

I'm probably much less of a Republican than you realize.

Just because I love The 4 Non Blondes?

Really, the most amazing thing about it is that it was never cancelled.

Though, the casino is making a friggin fortune - so getting creamed by a small number of local horse bettors for tens of thousands of dollars is really nothing more than a squirt of piss in a very huge bucket.

The only time they changed the rules was after an off-the-turf race at TuP on a Tuesday. That's when they eliminated dime supers from winning spins.

The race had a five horse field ... 3 of the horses were consistant types who always ran 70 or 80 Beyers. The other two horses in the race consisted of a halfway ok turf horse who would run 0 Beyers everytime he tried dirt - and a complete hopeless slug who probably couldn't outrun King Kong Bundy.

http://www.drf.com/drfPDFChartRacesI...=20100119&RN=5

You basically didn't need to be very smart to see that the way to play the race was to go 10 cent supers: 1-5-7/1-5-7/1-5-7/ALL

It costs a total of $1.20 per ticket. Thankfully, the heavy favorite was beaten and it paid $1.46 per winning ticket. So, you even profited on the bet itself.

If you play 40 tickets at $1.20 a pop - it costs just $48. But with the 40 winning tickets you win 80 spins. 80 spins on avg gets me close to $800 in cash - plus $75 in gift certificates to the resteraunt upstairs - a couple free Prime Rib and Crab Leg buffets, a couple free dinner buffets, breakfest buffets, lunch buffets, concession stuff etc.

I think the only reason the light bulb went on and they saw how badly they got killed on that race was because it was on a Tuesday and almost no tracks were running. A couple of us got a little too greedy with that one .. but thankfully, they only opted to eliminate dime supers - which made it harder - but you still couldn't possibly lose.
