Eurobounce v Oracle?
 
Who is the better handicapper? I thought Oracle but this Eurobounce picks some good ones.

I have to go with Oracle on this one. I dont know much about New York racing but I have learned some insights to New York racing from his posts. I guess it is the teacher and pupil thing. The thing with Oracle is that you really really have to read what he is saying and not get caught up in how he says it. If you can do that, you will learn more than you will ever dream about New York racing.

Probably true, but I have never seen someone here give out two huge prices on the same card. Nice job.

Euro has a clue, that is for sure...We all have our moments, I can think of two times last year where I ran the card at Arlington, hit every winner and every pick three.....Hoping that happens this weekend

Isnt there some newspaper handicapper in New York that has nailed the entire New York card several times? If anyone knows his name please let me know.

How can anyone here say they are betting real cash? No way of knowing what is real and what isn't. The guy made the picks and they won. Enough for me.

Not hard to do if all chalk rolls in. Some of those guys play the ML favorite in every race.

I can tell you right now I didnt bet any cash. I have bet New York twice this year. One was the Belmont and the other was last week where No Allegiance won. I think he paid like $52.50.

See I like Euro and don't want to insult him at all. But you have to understand that there is a HUGE difference between playing and picking. There is a guy that Tim likes who "picks". He always looks for bombs. But he doesnt bet. Hooves was getting at something. I mean, if you are just "picking" horses and not betting them its real easy to just take stabs at horses, whats the difference right? There is no penalty if you are wrong. Makes sense, if i was just "picking" I'd do the same.
But posting plays is different. Posting multiple pick 6's that pay a lot of cash and pik-5's and pik-4's etc.
Euro is good. But I have always shunned "winner picking contests" because I never liked the concept of having to "pick" every race. What if i don't like that race and would never play it with my own money?

Sorry guy, but posting winners is posting winners. You guys post a ton of pick 6's and pick 4's and almostall lose but I still think you guys are good handicappers. Coming up with two big price horses on one ticket isn't easy to do. You picked half the field in that race and lost. He picked one horse.

Last week,

Mormino picked High Button Shoes on top, Dubai Escapade 2nd and Magnolia Jackson 3rd. They ran 2-1-3. He had the triple and the exacta. Lost out on his win bet on High Button Shoes but a very cagey pick.

He left out the two horses I would have been sure to hit the board Leave Me Alone and Smokey Glacken.

When someone takes the time to post a ticket, like a copy/paste job, I believe them, I only do it on HUGE hits, like over 1k

Tim did he bet it? Otherwise it means nothing!!! I mean look, if Hooves, I, You, Euro, etc didnt have any money on anything and just picked every race looking for a longshot, eventaully we are gonna get one. See what I mean? Its meaningless unless you are playing. There are no bets without money on the line, the rest is just bs.

Gander 06-15-2006 03:55 PM

Yes he did. Hes not a huge bettor but made himself a nice little score on the exacta and triple. I thought he was nuts picking that High Button Shoes on top.

oracle80 06-15-2006 03:56 PM

Ok Tim, I'm gonna pick the indians to upset the Yankees and advise to you put a million them as the underdog, lol. The fact that i wouldnt put a quarter of my own money on it should not stop you form proclaiming me a good longshot guy it it wins, lol.
