Let's Make Things Interesting (A Proposal)
Ok here goes. We need to liven things up a bit so I have a proposal.
I will put up a grand that says the one of the following horses will not win the Breeders Cup Classic. Bernardini- the top 3 year old, Invasor- the top older horse, and Lava Man- the top West Coast horse.(The bet would start now) Bernardini could be even money or less by himself in the BCC. You need to give me 3/2(which is a freaking gift but I'll do it anyway.) So 1500 from your end, a grand from me. I'm sure I'll get more than one taker here so I'll sort through and make sure I'm not betting against a degenerate who can't afford to lose it. (1 person in the end) The money will be held by Steve (if he's cool with that) until the Breeders Cup.

I agree with Randall. Thats a very geneorus wager. Problem is I dont think Invasor has much of a shot at all, him to me isnt much of an addition.
Another problem (much bigger one) is I'll be honest here, I cant afford to lose a grand.

No thanks.......
I have to say that even if I had a grand I wouldn't take any of that action, cuz your problably right! Those are all fine horses, and top contenders this years BC should be as competitive as any in history! By the way, any thoughts on the fact that Tom Durkin will not call the BC races for the first time in their history? Durkin is one of the best in the business, he will be missed at least by this fan of his terricic race calls. Trevor Denman is great and will d a great job, myself though I would have preferred Vic Stauffer, his calls really are what the excitment of the sport of kings should sound like! Love to hear anyone's thoughts on the top announcers in racing.

We've had numerous discussions on track announcers. There are no right/wrong answers, just personal preferences. I like Denman the best and then Durkin and I guess Stauffer. Those 3 are about it for me.
I think we can all agree on the fact that Mike Battaglia shouldnt be a track announcer

09/09/2006 17:00 Bernadini 12 to 5 Max bet to win $3000 09/09/2006 17:00 Invasor 13 to 2 Max bet to win $3000 09/09/2006 17:00 Lava Man 7 to 1 Max bet to win $3000 From those odds, you can construct a bet that will be better than giving 3-2 to Randall. I'll give an example in a few minutes. --Dunbar

I'll take the field at 7/5 for a Hondo. You can hold my money. The only single thing I wager anywhere near or over $1,000 on is the Under in the Pro Bowl.

Keep this in mind, you are essentually offering .66 - 1 odds by your proposal, which is not exactly "giving away" money by any means....hell, Bernardini and Invasor (depending on how they run against each other in the JC Gold Cup) will be even-money and 7/2 or more, realsitically...and Lava Man will be around 4-1 or more IMO (early forecasts) - thus if i used $1,500 to bet these horses to WIN tactfully based on their odds, I would bet $1000 to win on Bernardini and $250 to WIN on both Invasor and Lava Man at around 4-1 - creating value with my $1,500 capital that you would win and I would be in a less risky position than you are right now having those horses in the gate GUARANTEED to me.... Plus, I think Bernardini is going to win the race anyway, so if I bet him on his nose I think I can get a price better than .66 - 1 anyway, or at least take my chances......
