There's numerous reasons why a horse won't win, but you are also rewarded for those reasons through the mutual pool. I love the sport and I like to bet, I have had my best year ever this through the windows, but I have not placed a bet since the first weekend of Saratoga. I have had several very large unexpected bills to pay recently and I paid those off with the winnings, but I am not dipping into savings to play, so I'll sit out and get ready for the Breeders Cup. I want to have a bankroll of about $2000 for the BC, so I'll wait. I guess I am lucky, some people need the "fix" or "juice", I have never said either of those words, I don't look down on somebody that does, because I believe people get addicted to the rush of gambling. My dad always said there's nothing wrong with gambling, if you do it for fun, he always said we never went without, because of his gambling and that's true.
