No Dime Supers at NYRA on Fri. and Sat.

[ateamstupid]

I don't think many people are going to be constructing elaborate tickets, but rather calling out a million combinations one-by-one.. That's way worse..

Heck, if dime supers are so evil. Let's get rid of reason I never use live seller. SHOW BETTORS! I miss days of old when show bettors had their own long lines and didn't clog cashier windows.

I once tied up a self serve machine for about 6 or 7 minutes playing them in a baby race at CD last year...and I got shut out finally.

It's obviously not going to be the people who never bet who can tie up a line with these things. Like Cannon said - they will box.

It's the bigger bettors who love a longshot, hate a favorite or two, and want to try and hit a big super 45 times for a dime and avoid signing.

That is exactly what I do, I have stood at machines for 10 minutes before punching $1 P3's that I am playing 50 times. I can care less about the people behind me, they don't care about me.

I probably screamed at you a few times in line before we met

If someone is making bets while at the machine in a fluid manner, I have no problem with that, it was my fault for picking the wrong line, but if someone is handicapping while at the machine, well then is when I have some fun with the guy

And for the record, the new machines that Arlington has, have a serious response time when it comes to repeating tickets, alot better then the old version where you had to hit "Repeat Ticket" and then "Print Ticket", now you just hit Repeat Ticket and it keeps on going.....

I just discovered the "repeat ticket" button on the machines I use . . . crucial.

Will there be simulcasting at Belmont on Saturday? The NYRA website lists several tracks as "simulcast" tracks on June 7, but I don't recall simulcasting on prior Belmont Days when a Triple Crown was on the line.

1995 at Keeneland, I was betting $1 tri key part wheels in a maiden race at a window. I was betting a lot, and after a few minutes the clerk said to me " Are you done yet? " I, of course ignored him, and kept firing away. A couple minutes later the guy says to me " you're done now. " That I didn't ignore. I kindly explained to him if he didn't keep punching my tickets the only one who was going to be " done now " was him. He kept punching.

As an aside....the winner of that race? Smart Strike.

My horse was fourth.

The guy was a bit older than you.

I usually bet with the four women tellers on the second floor near the end of the grandstand in the last enclosed area.
