I just don't like being bound by rules....I am a horseplayer and a prognosticator/analysts and my strategy is to make money in real life and not through gettying around sets of handicapping rules...

Believe me, I wish we were at CD in person this weekend and were able to start with an even amount on a voucher and our OWN bankroll - no fake money so that you would have to worry about losing your actual cash out of your pocket if you had to load up late to ty and beat me....

The bottomline is that I could make more money than you at the Church and pick more winners - no boundaries other than a starting bankroll would be the fair thing...

I'm an analyst and real horse player more than tourney-style player (think I've only played 2 tourneys in my life and they were with groups and not in my name because I wasn't allowed to play tourneys when I worked at FG and CDI).......The bootmline is that I'l predict more outcomes at CD than yo would on a day's card and make more money, while you're probably better suited for tourney rules because you know how to strategize around them and maximize yourself....

I don't worry about rules in real life other than trying to make money.

...and believe me, I would match my knowledge of the horseflesh on the grounds in Louisville with anyone on this board....
