They would take a $2000 place bet without question at a legit track. They do not take $7500 win bets at the post. They just don't do it. Do you think they are in the business to lose money?

1) You can start betting on Pinnacle at like 8am CST, how do you know they didn't put 1k an hour until post?

2) I have personally put two $1,000 wagers, that were in my wager q, with horses in the gate, to place on a horse at Belmont....I am going to try and find the wagers tonight to prove it to you

They dont bet through an off-shore account. They go to Hoosier Park in Anderson Indiana to bet. But these guys are my neighbors. I dont think they are con-artists. They had legit jobs before they retired. One was a dentist and the other worked at eli lilly. Now they both work for Avis Rent A Car driving cars back and forth two days a week. I have known these guys for several years. I dont know why anyone would make up a story about losing $2500. But they are good handicappers. And they won 18 in a tow until today. Before that they won 13 in a row. That is very plausible if you pick your spots and get lucky. But these are good men.

Oh, they made 3 seperate win bets. I will get my losing ticket tonight.

I hope you are lying because I feel bad for you if you dropped that type of money. If you are serious, get the ticket. Not saying you were the victim of a con, but that is one of the oldest cons in betting. Nobody wins 30 out of 31. It just doesn't happen in horse racing. In fact, my cousin said it doesn't even happen in football betting where guys get on runs. He said the best he has ever even heard of is 13 out of 14 in football where it is 50-50. Either I am sorry you lost, sorry if you were the victim of a con, or happy if you are just full of it like everyone on chat rooms.

I dont understand why that is so hard to believe. I mean if you bet Cigar you won 16 times in a row. But I have seen their winnings and losing over the past years. Believe what you want. I lost $2500 so I have lost everything that I won over the past 3 months--lol. I think anyone can hit tons in a row if you bet 10 times a year. Especially when you wager on heavy favs in small fields.

You know what, as long as you aren't the victim of some con, I could care less what you say. I don't believe it but who cares what I believe. Just don't give your money to people to bet for you unless you get a ticket. It is a really old con. Oftne people never see their money even if they do win because these guys keep the money and find another horse.

I am pretty positive I am not a victim of a scam. These guys are my neighbors and I have known them for years. Plus I have bet with them before and I have gotten my money or my losing ticket. But thanks for your concern.

Ever see the movie--House Of Cards--great movie.
