General question: What else do you wager on?
 

what else do you wager on besides horse racing?
(poker, roulette, craps, slots, etc...)

and is horse racing your first choice when wagering?

what draws your individual interest to horse racing?

does Hialeah Park still exist or was it demolished?

thanks to all who may answer.

cock fighting

no

big horse cocks

did you have a bad day?

What's a matter a guy can't like cocks?


But to answer your question,
Poker, Craps, Blackjack, Jai-Alai (absolutley love it)

Horse Racing is definitely first

I love the sport itself, plus trying to figure out the puzzle to selecting the right horses and make the according wagers on them. Besides there is nothing better than a beautiful day at the track (especially if it's Saratoga)!

Tried that once, did not get the bug. All I could think was "those cheating bastards". Plus, I could never tell if I was winning.

You can tell tonight though!!! How are you gonna sleep after that hit????

sleep? what's that?

had to laugh though when my wife said "everytime we have afternoon sex, you hit the pic 6", I was like **** I should be hitting one 7 or 8 times a week then. (I know too much info, been hittin a little of Spyders bourbon)

Oh boy do they cheat. I only went a few times but I thought it was great. I looked at it like it was professional wrestling with betting. But I remeber one time I had a guy bet in singles and he was dropping balls right at him. It was ridiculous how bad he was. Two games later the guy who I had bet was going to close the game out against the guy who I bet earlier who couldn't catch a beach ball. All of a sudden he turned into spiderman scaling the wall and climbing the net making every throw knocking my guy out and killing my bet. The cool part was that you were able to yell at the guys and everyone would hear you, because there was only like 18 people in the whole place. Ahh those were the good old days. My wife and I were DINKS. Double Income No Kids.

hilarious stuff....congrats again...looks like your afternoons are going to be good for a while to come.

thanks 9-1. football, horses, nooners, who could ask for more?

good stuff, I do remember the yelling, but it was kind of like betting on squash. how many of those frontons (sp?) are still open?

Jesus I would be happy with one of the first two. As far as the nooners go, it just doesn't happen in this neck of the woods. There's always someone running around. Come to think of it, the last time it happened we had a package 9 months later. Maybe that's the real reason. Reguardless we are strictly a night couple!

sorry, someone had to do it.

Hilarious and right on the money. I used to love going to Tampa Jai Alai, back in my SINWKS (Single Income No Wife or Kids). I knew the deal, but couldn't resist the $.50 beer nights. The more the beer flowed the louder the degerates got. The "players" had to hate those nights. I can only imagine the conversations in their locker room bitching about the drunks yelling at them. Back in the days before ADWs and simulacasting, it was the only form of gambling other than the dogs. Sadly, there is a Home Depot where the fronton used to be.

To answer the original questions.....

ok

What else do I gamble on?

1. Been married to a red head for 25 years
2. Have a son in his third year of second year in college
3. Own my own business

I play horses as it's the only thing I can gamble on where I have some amount of control.

Spyder

at our local bar we have 2 pools. One when the lake will freeze (I know boring) and the 2nd for when the first snowmoblile will go through. The first occured 1/2. Still waiting on the second but I have this Friday as my date. (also last 3 yrs the sled thru the ice contest has been an Illini going thru and a Badger collecting. Two on rented snowmobiles) Now guess what a sled at 50-80 ft. costs to retrieve? And it must be done cause there's a $150/day DNR fine until removed.

Ever wonder why the registration numbers always seem to be worn off? Now you know.

Oh an on my off days from the pools I play some horses

Horse racing is my first passion

Love to play poker, but no good local cash games, so I dabble a little online. Sadly, but fortunately, I live far enough away from places that offer poker games or craps. If I am in Vegas, 75% of my time is spent at the craps table or at Blackjack tables.

Sports betting no longer holds any appeal to me and hasn't for years. I would rather watch a monkey f*ck a football than bet on a bunch of guys throwing it around.

Horse racing is the only thing I gamble on. I don't even buy scratch tickets

I enjoy the handicapping puzzle and the sense of accomplishment when my pick wins
