Default Hey Mike (Oracle)..

...want to double or nothing on Bernardini and Bluegrass Cat? I know you like the "Cat's" chances and I, on the other hand, think Bernardini is three times the horse that Bluegrass Cat is....So, what do you say?

He's depressed because GPK is about to pass him as the top poster.

Joel you are giving me a fool's play. A horse swap at twice the value for you. Its against my nature to take the sucker's half of the bet, but since only for ten bucks ok. We are on.

I'm disappointed you would take that bet, oracle. It seems like you were taunted into taking a bad bet. $10 or $1000, I refuse to get the worst of it.

You could probably get better than 1-1 on the entire Field vs Bernardini. You should have made CR give you 2-1 or 3-1 on Bernardini vs BC. After all, he's the one who said Bernardini is THREE times the horse BC is (in the first post of this thread). How could he not give you 2-1?

btw, you two should make clear to each other whether the bet pays only if one of the 2 horses wins, or whether it is a matchup for which horse finishes in front of the other.

What?..I don't understand....it is horse for horse...mano y mano....no fools play here....if you want to be perfectly honest, I gave you a big advantage by taking odds-on Wait a While whe I took the higher-priced Lady of Venice...I think you taking 2-1/9-5 over my 3-5/3-4 isn't all that bad of a deal, is it?

...just a little exagertion going on there.....but its all in fun...

Joel you can't be serious, lol. WAW was favored by a nickel over venice.
In this case I'm taking a beating on the price, but thats ok.
Actually Fleet Indian vs Balletto would be more fair. I want the Indian of course.
