Brian - you're not the only idiot, I placed a futures wager on Chocolate Candy even after I saw him run cr*ppy and win in the El Camino Real Derby - had to put money on the local horse even though I expect that $5 is gone... Future bets are like playing the lottery, it's fun to dream that your pick may hit (although in some of our cases, winged monkeys will fly out of our butts before we collect our winnings
)
ontheoutside, don't let the idiots on here get to you, there are one or two and you can just figure they're piss poor gamblers and have nothing better to do than bust on someone else for their bets... or they are just very bitter people - either way, it doesn't matter so long as you are happy.
