Like I said, good luck to whoever gets in on it.
Sure you risk on your opinion, but they way you stated it was that there was no risk in this. My guess is that you could go two years before hitting this, but just imagine if a total of 100 people had 20k invested into a syndicate, and today was the day that you nailed it, for 600k+, pipedream yes, but minorly possible

Some days you go for the guster, some days you go for the hit. Today I spent $216 and I went for the hit, the most logical way and I got gots, I'll guarantee you if I had 3k to drop on this bitch today, I could have gotten to the final leg, but I doubt I would have had that 9.....

I couldn't agree more, that is why you have 3 people making the decisions and the others as investors, no say whatsoever. Tons of people buy into that players pool on Americatab, and none of them have any say in the tickets.

Honestly, I have enough dough to do big tickets myself so I have little to do with this, I would rather live and die with my own decisions. I don't listen to anyone (Ask ArlJim about Saturday when he loved a horse, but that horse had Laviolette on him, he was much the best by about 20 lengths and I still wouldn't play him)

A 3rd party accusation from something a long time ago randomly inserted into this is pretty petty IMO.

Part of a syndicate is give and take and there's times when you leave off a horse that someone else wanted, and I can guarantee to you- being in the situation before several times- no one feels worse than the person who left them off. Some people's personalities can't deal with it, no shame in that.

This guy must be the muscle doing the shake down for a bet that was handled how it should have been handled. In private.

Why this guy feels the need to step into someone elses business is mind boggling. For you to say I cant afford the hundred really shows what a moron you are.

Where in the fck did I say you cant afford 100 dollars? Where?

All that needs to be done is to PM me. And explain what I READ FOR MYSELF. People need to be very careful. Some people find it very easy...

PHIL. Tell what the timeframe on not following through on an agreement is? PM me please. You dont know how bad I am hoping things have been set right. It would give me a little more faith in people.

I would love for all of you guys to get this done. And have a great time doing it. I would love it even more if you actually won. Careful.

Dont put up money if you cant pay. Just keep your mouth shut if you cant come through. Everyone on this board should pressure you to DO WHAT IS RIGHT.


The bet was 100 dollars, you question my ability to pay a hundred dollar bet? You have any idea how much I got grabbed for on here? You have any idea my background, or what I do, or my assets, or worth? Do you have any idea if the bet was paid, do you have any idea of any of that?

This isnt your bet, debt, or otherwise, I suggest you mind your own business. Youve already proven to be a fool

WTF are you talking about? I dont care what your background is. I dont care if you are destitute or a millionare. Tell me you are honest. All you have to do is EXPLAIN what you posted, WHAT I FRIKKN READ. ANd what I read was it that you would get around to fullfilling your obligation. That you would get to it. Like it was unimportant. That you just forgot. Lets get this straight:

IT AINT ABOUT MONEY. ITS BASIC HONESTY. THATS ALL IT IS TO ME.

You go off on this ability to pay thing... I dont care. Just follow thru on obligations. If you have done so, fine. Update me. Because I know what I read.

I dont owe you an explanation on anything. Last time I checked you had nothing to do with the bet, how the bet was paid, when the bet was paid, or anything else that involved the bet. Why dont you just mind your own business and not worry about the particulars. If Booey wants to clue you in on it, he can do that.

Youre out of line, off base, and really a buffoon for questioning me on anything. Whether I paid it, have the money to pay it, or welched it is none of your business.

I like the shares idea. That is always the best way to go. However, if the max shares a person (other than a leader) can own is 5 shares at $50 bucks a share, then who decides how many shares we are going to spend on a particular pick 6? If there is a total of 200 shares or $10,000.00 then do we wager 75 shares on this pick 6 today or 100 shares or what?

This could work with a little bit of work and a little bit of trust and some good nature honesty. Good thing about this is that sometimes I dont have time or the desire to play ever single large carryover. I think it would be very cool win or lose. $200 a year is not that big of a deal in comparison to how much I spend on pick 6 carryovers throughout the year.

Maybe the best way would be to post the the selections and the cost of the ticket and let them decide if they want a percent of the ticket.Rules would be posted of course.
