Honestly, it’s stories like this that will attract people TO the sport’s wagering side. We just have to find a way to keep them here.
No BS, between FB & Instagram I was tagged in this story (or this story was posted on my page) a total of 6 different times. Every single person to tag me is a non-player outside of the big days but upon hearing this story they want to throw their hat into the ring next year more than the $20 per horse and pull numbers out of a hat.
I’m doing my best to cultivate a new wave of players. My one buddy’s FIL even wants to buy me out next Saturday so that I can teach him a few different wagers that he heard I had won on this weekend. The sport so desperately needs the new blood before all the dinosaurs die off. I’m looking forward to doing my part in bringing in fresh fish for us to peck away at in the exotic pools!
