Hossy's keyboard cuts like a knife. Mortimer is still curled up in the fetal position.

If Hossy had been the one who originally said it I too would be crawling back into the fetal position.

Great job Hoff ! I may be there Saturday for the Dubai Card & FLA Derby. Hopefully see you then !

is the economy so bad that we think $330 is a life changer?

if someone gave me a free $10,000 bet I might think about show.

but unless you won the contest betting that way, why not handicap the race the same way you did winning the contest?

and you should be telling us how to bet the race doof. not asking.

we didn't win it.

I knew not to get my hopes up. Be sure to come back after the race and redboard the f.uck out of it.

So it's one $300 wager? In other words, it has to be booked all the same time? I ask because people who really wager that kind of money might tend to split it up into let's say 6 $50 wagers, all on the same horse, over like a 10 minute period so that the odds don't drop like a rock on their selection.

With the Florida Derby handle you might not notice a huge difference, but I also would calculate using the pools what the "pari-mutuel" effect of the bet will be, and make my decision based on the anticipated odds after the wager relative to your estimate of the horse's actual chance of winning.

Best of luck and let us know how you do!
