Derby Reflections / Moving Forward

Pardon the pun, but can we beat this horse anymore?

sekrah-- okay, that\'s enough. You posted a lot of opinions, not facts The idea that ANYONE was 7/2 to win that wide open 20 horse Derby is ridiculous. And that\'s from a guy who liked him (\"most likely horse to run well\" in the seminar). SS winning wasn\'t just a function of how HE ran and the trip HE got-- that\'s why I said most likely to run well, not most likely winner. If he was an overlay in the WIN pool at 8-1 it was fairly slight, like maybe he was really 6-1. Which might have made him the most likely winner, that\'s how wide open the race was.

Learn something from Covello. The guy took down the super, and he\'s a picture of modesty.

Now I gotta get him to buy a horse...

Well I completely 1000% disagree.   So that\'s the end of it.  I\'m done.

Mjellish:

I like your style. But, I have to say, you certainly started a thread with some really ugly posts. I would hope that some people would come to the realization  that handicapping is not something one should be arrogant about. Success in this game, no matter how smart you are, is dependent upon having some luck along the way.

I agree completely.  There is no one on this board or in this game that knows it all.  There should always be room for differing opinions.  That\'s the beauty of parimutuel pools.  When you\'re right, you\'re right.  But get ready to be wrong soon because it\'s going to happen.

Best game ever invented.
