Default BTW doubles their money, doubles their fun..
Hats off to Andy who wove straw into gold today in a bankroll challenge appearence at the Capital OTB Albany Teletheater. Serling made the most of a dreary Aqueduct card to turn $2,500 into $4,600 for 70+ happy patrons.

Him being a SPEED disciple WILL catch up to HIM soon enough. Until NYRA spends the money required for TRAKUS, he will just be another LUCKY stiff guessing at races until he starts using THE FAT CHARTS.

Had a great time today if the 2-5 shot in the 8th gets home...... & a PICK 6 win! Andy did a great job on a very "scratch ridden" Aqueduct card. Hat's off to Andy & Capital OTB!

Andy did an awesome job today given limited opportunities. Most people would have passed on the races today at NY....except degenerate gamblers.

Thanks all.

Had a great time and very happy we managed to do OK.

There's a good chance, as it turns out, we would have scooped the pool if the fav won the 8th....and no less than half. But, it wasn't close.

Nice work Andy. I was hoping to stop at the Teletheater to say hello today (I was in Canada 2 weeks ago) but a nasty cold got worse after spending an hour tending to my own horse.
Very good work on behalf of the customers, who had a very good time.

Thanks. It really was great fun. Everybody couldn't have been nicer.

No worries.....people have gone much farther than Canada to get away from me.

you are right and the tv coverage is pretty good too. most parts of the country don't even get the shows we get, those free online contests are good too. their promotions department is great.
