As a chalk eater and bad prognosticator....

And yes, this contest will never come off but it does make for some interesting reading.

I just don't like being bound by rules....I am a horseplayer and a prognosticator/analysts and my strategy is to make money in real life and not through gettying around sets of handicapping rules...

Believe me, I wish we were at CD in person this weekend and were able to start with an even amount on a voucher and our OWN bankroll - no fake money so that you would have to worry about losing your actual cash out of your pocket if you had to load up late to ty and beat me....

The bottomline is that I could make more money than you at the Church and pick more winners - no boundaries other than a starting bankroll would be the fair thing...

I'm an analyst and real horse player more than tourney-style player (think I've only played 2 tourneys in my life and they were with groups and not in my name because I wasn't allowed to play tourneys when I worked at FG and CDI).......The bootmline is that I'l predict more outcomes at CD than yo would on a day's card and make more money, while you're probably better suited for tourney rules because you know how to strategize around them and maximize yourself....

I don't worry about rules in real life other than trying to make money.

...and believe me, I would match my knowledge of the horseflesh on the grounds in Louisville with anyone on this board....

Now how in the hell would the competition know if you stacked your voucher between races?

Yes we're aware how overconfident you are. I don't know why you inferred that I'm a tournament player. Never entered one and never plan to.
The only fun thing is to watch how you pat yourself on the back about how great your knowledge is, yet at the same time you give yourself away each day in your posts. example (good handicappers don't cherry pick the races, or the fact that you're using people to sign for your irs tickets)
i don't see how you could possibly be making money based on your comments.
if I were handicapping the posters on this board in terms of how good I percieve their handicapping expertise to be, i don't think i could put you in the top twenty. Might be the subject for an interesting board poll though.

A) I wasn't talking to you

B) I could care less what you percieve, frankly, as I gave anyone an opportunity to meet at CD and have a handicap-off a CD two weeks ago. The bottomline is that it is all specualtion on an internet site....If any of you want to meet at Gulfstream in person and see who does better at the races, I'm up for it.....

No way anybody beats the Terror of Tampa Bay!

Too hard for him....He has to have everything his way or he bails. Hooves's offer is perfect. It limited someone from winning right away and it shows what true handicappers need. Patience, and the knowledge of when to get your money into the pools. Chin just wants to throw some darts and hopefully beat Hooves so they we can REALLY hear him chirp

Speaking of chirping, I found that comment to be ironic aftyer reading this post and 95% of your other posts....LOL

Now you may have me a tthat track if you are used to betting it...I am a GP and FG (mostly FG) guy in the winter so I rarely look at Tampa and don't have a much success there due to the deep, funny track......you'd probably smoke me
