Sighthound suspension

[Wrongly]

Questions better suited for Jerry.  Do you keep charts on races in which you wager?  In my experience you can keep track of the sheets you purchase and see the move ups.  Redboard room is a great tool.  Keep note of those trainers who pop big figures, especially those old claimers running first or 2nd off the claim.  You will quickly see trends from the Usual Suspects.  Some will argue that the huge improvement is the good work some trainers do (it\'s always the shoes!).  The key is being able to find those patterns and predict who might be the next big jump up.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn\'t exist.

Indeed.

One of the most important things the data can do is make you aware when someone is moving up horses before the public catches on. Sometimes you can pick it up just by a couple of big jumps within a couple of days. All of a sudden Persaud horses are running in NY, and I\'m watching...

And Sight, if you\'re reading this, Maker isn\'t doing anything at Keeneland, because if he was they would have caught him.

It\'s not really fair to compare the high odds return on a horse race , be it a win bet or some exotic, with the 50/50 prop of a sports bet.

 If they ran nothing but match races, yeah.

Our OTB didn\'t even give you the call..Everyone would just stare at the old tv screen that was showing the odds and then the unofficial order would flash on the screen and the whole place would explode with \"I told you he was going to win\" or \"Yes, Yes, Yes\" or the sound of a garbage can getting kicked and the sound of a racing form getting thrown in the air...
Our options are great now but because of the treatment we received back in those days we have lost our huge fan base..

thats funny, I remember trying to close my ears and the sound as they posted the letters on the board, when that OTB employee came out holding that sheet to pin on the wall, everyone descending, and us trying to see before someone spoiled the fun

Ahhh yes..
The Manager used to pin up the ticket printout with the results and payout for each race...
One of the homeless guys that was always in there would switch the \"todays results\" printouts of a few races with the \"yesterdays results\" printouts from the other board and pick up the thrown away tickets of the people that came in the afternoon to check their tickets and hoped he got a winner..

that was just a horrible way to lose that one. if anyone would question cheating should watch the 9th race last thursday the 25th and watch the action of the jockey on the 4 horse in the stretch. either this idiot cant figure out where the finish line is or hes suppose to finish 3rd.

To avoid any misunderstanding-- the post at the top of this string is EXACTLY why I banned Sight. Anything anyone else says is a mischaracterization.
