It's been my experience that it's hard enough to handicap as it is sober. I can remember many nights pouring over tomorrow's pp's and sipping a delicious brandy only to fine that I couldn't find my pace from my a**. Why do you think they give your free drinks in Vegas?

You dont get free drinks in the sportsbooks anymore. Horse players do get drinks, but you have to keep on getting 'drink tickets' and it is a pain in the ass.

I love playing blackjack hammered. I have an official Vegas drink, "Tom Collins", I just get those and get ripped and get all nuts. good times. I never play the horses with booze, maybe I should start with the way I have been rollin
