Mountaineer Race 10

Tough way to make a living. Just look what happened with the 8/5 favorite you gave out earlier this month that finished 4th in a 5 horse field. I try to invest my hard earned jingle trying to beat the bridge jumpers.

thats horse was 5/1 at hollywood and got a nasty rail trip btw but whatever....  Im not trying to excuse that $1000 wager but there are times when I was at the racetrack where i \"scrap\" for a few hundo here and there and I have completely stopped doing that recently.  By scrapping I mean..  while waiting for a race i really like i place a show wager of usually 200 to 1000 max and attempt to make a few dollars on the side.  That sideshow is something I have found to be nonsense and i should have not posted such on here. Those weirdos at the track are not fun to look at especially while drinking lol have to pass time somehow!  Those sideshow wagers have costed me money against the profit i have made on my larger wagers and i am done.

Where is the credit though when i hit a jackson bend situation and almost triple the money?  Anyway when i put 5k up you better damn believe I love something and there is a pretty damn good reason for it.

Have you read either of Bertram Fabricand\'s books?  If you are going to bury your money into favorites, you need to know what you possible ROI is under different circumstances.  You\'ll pick it up pretty quickly.

Personally, I won\'t bet any horse at 2-1 or less unless it is the second choice to an odds on favorite.  I hit about half of those, make very little money, but have fun.
