If this issue is too great for you to overcome maybe you should abandon horse racing until the problem is solved and focus your energies on the Belgium bobsledding team.

First off, I'm not from Belgium. Second, I do my share. I write to those that might help. I've written to many racetracks when there are issues. As an example, I've written to Churchill about there ridiculous odds drops at Calder. I've written to Suffolk about the lack of turf fractions. They haven't fixed it, so I don't bet turf races there. I've written to Gulfstream too many times to count about phony times and timer malfunctions, i.e. missing fractions and final times. Ditto for Lone Star. I've also had several letters to the editor published in the DRF. It doesn't mean I can't share my feelings on a message board as well, does it? What more should I do? Take time out from bobsled practice and fly back home and picket at the latest offending track?

It is true that I do SOME wagering off shore. Why? Well, the main reason is because the sport doesn't allow me to bet onshore while residing in Belgium, with the exception of two companies. This despite being very much an American citizen. Guess what, those two don't cover all the tracks. Do you know why I am aware of what is happening at a large number of tracks? Because I bet nearly ALL of them.

I don't know you personally, so I hardly have any dislike for you. What I do dislike is the attitude you displayed the "first" time this happened. As I said before, this isn't the only message board on the net, and there is one very popular one where past posting of wagering has long been a topic.

Why a guy in your position would tell a guy like me, that bets a lot, to stop wagering is beyond me.
