people who bet insane amount of money on an odd-on favorite in a race to SHOW and when he runs off the board, they find the nearest bridge and jump off it. They are depressed because the $10,000 they put on the horse, hoping to get back $10,100, is now gone.

The word bridgejumper is generally inaccurate. Most of these people can well afford to lose 10K or even 100K on a horse race. It would be like me betting $20 on a race and losing it. While they cant be too happy they lost, they really arent ready to jump off a bridge. These are guys with millions and millions of dollars, earning as much from interest on their fortunes as most people on here do by working. Dont kid yourselves, these guys can handle it.
