Biology. An organism that grows, feeds, and is sheltered on or in a different organism while contributing nothing to the survival of its host.

One who habitually takes advantage of the generosity of others without making any useful return.
One who lives off and flatters the rich; a sycophant.
A professional dinner guest, especially in ancient Greece.



Thus, for Steve Crist, you know....the subject of this thread, to be a parasite he would have to be feeding off racing fans while providing nothing in return. This is completely untrue, inaccurate, and grossly unfair. Steve's accomplishments for the betterment of racing fans are substantial and evident.

You, on the other hand, seem to be establishing a parasitic relationship with this board. Luckily, antibiotics are on the way.

All these guys(pundits) are making a living off of other handicappers.This is the fact that remains(after all the arguments are thrown around.)If they could make their living off capping,then they would be doing that(instead of getting checks from DRF etc.)
