How did you do this year?

It's a slightly higher ROI than buying scratch-off lotto tickets...and no one hits for a $1 millon playing harness like my now-broke former neighbor did playing a $20 scratch-off.

My problem is I just need to go to sleep earlier. Between harness and Australian racing at night, it just pretty useless for me to even waste money on those.

I will give you a 10% rebate on all harness and Aussie action and book it for you.

We will both benefit from it.

When my father had his trainers license revoked, he bought a bar in the city called Clancy's and it was basically a hub for bookmaking during the day and dice and card games above it at night. This was in the mid 80's right before 'The Downs at Erie' opened ...and the only place in town to get a DRF was Dee's Cigar Store.

The only detective in the city who handled homicide cases at the time, he would be on the phone placing bets to my father all day long. He would call him up with $2 exacta wheels and everything else. At one point, he owed my father about a thousand dollars, and pops got so sick of taking his bets that he told him "we are even! Just please, don't call here anymore with your bets." the detective refused, paid him off, and kept the all-day phone calls coming.

That's classic. You don't want to book my action. That would require me having your phone number and if I got that, I would distribute it to all my fellow lollipop guild members and they would prank call you unmercifully, day and night.

You could place wagers through email.

We saw how the email thing worked for the General.

Became a weekend, holiday better. Bet more money per race and bet less overall races. Quit playing Gulfstream/Todd Pletcher Downs and kept my sanity.

I bet A LITTLE less this year, and lost a LOT LESS. LITTLE MIKE was good to me, and some decent scores recently helped a lot. I've become mostly a weekend/holiday bettor now, unless I see something special on other days.

the same as every year. i spend about 800 - 900 $$$ a year on gambling. that includes A.C., monticello, live racing, online wagering, slots,lottery,,etc...

thats about $2.32 a day. much less than a gallon of gas or $12.50 for a movie.

and for that 2.32 i can usually gamble for hours each day.

thats value for your dollar!

i think we all have gambling addictions of some sort and a love for this sport and it's unique way of gambling.

whether it's 2.32 a day or a thousand a day, it's still addicting. for me., i love the sport.

it's 1:42, am i, am taking the #1 in australia 8C to place.

1800 plays over the year; 11% win %; +0.03 $1 ROI

I don't really bet much, but from a fan point of view, this was my best year ever by a long way. Saw more than 25 G1 races live in three countries, including three Derbies - NZ, Kentucky and Epsom.
