you are not kidding. you can use some of the comments as a sort of "barometer" or "chalk o meter". one guy is an absolute chalk stopper. he gave me the gems of "quality road by 20 in the whitney" and "rachel by 14 in the personal ensign" along with the use "admiral alex in the travers" . these are the things you can't buy from the "touts" or network shills. like gold in the hills.........lol.

I'd rather admit im wrong and have the money left in my wallet.

hey, you make too much sense. i try to pick winners , i could care less who trains,rides or owns. keep reading these threads (arguments). most of these folks are driven by emotion and i think they bet that way. if i talk like this, most of them think i'm an idiot and don't get it or don't want to....bookies, tracks, casinos love emotional people.........you have to be a cold hearted, judgmental (analytical bastard) person to cash in this game.....being a "fan" and arguing over 6-5 shots never paid my bills. i'm guessing that you can handicap a race because you already "got it"....pari mutuel wagering is NOT a popularity contest...its picking the right horse, at the right price, at the right time.. i mostly read this stuff to see what the "crickets" are chirping about as you say. then i comment here and there just to stir the pot and see how many more dumb responeses i can laugh at.....you really want to laugh? check out that political thread section........its full of geniuses......lol
