The recent $5000 bet on the Chiefs took major cojones, if it was at all real. I'm wondering if RHT sent jms some direct messages with screenshots of the amount of money he plays with, bc it seems that jms was completely in his corner this year while making some questionable pricey plays. He might have the inside track on whether this dude is crazy enough to bet his kid's college fund money or if he's just flat out crazy and feeds off of the "atta boy" posts that this board is known for. I'm perplexed, and I dont know what to even think.

What happened between you two? Weren't you guys as thick as thieves earlier this year? I only had an issue with some of his off the wall opinions/statements that he was trying to troll away.

I think his line to you was "It's sad what you've become".
I got nothing. Joey seems to be a nice guy and I got behind him cause everyone was giving him **** about his opinion. You know people in the Paddock who I never saw posting an actual opinion. It turns out his plays are pretty sharp. Now if they are not with live money he is on a VERY SLIPPERY Slope... A nice run and Greed kicks in, you actually start at that price point and if you catch a bad run you are over your head really fast. There also was a guy around here that used to bet like 6-700 a race at Woodbine I remember.

That would be none other than Jimmy "Deep Pockets" Ellis.

He's ALWAYS posted crazy bets like that, unlike RHT who used to bet 'normal' increments and has just exploded over the past year or so. RHT definitely has sharp opinions. He's grown so much as a handicapper over the years. All im saying is that he's in his young 30's (i think) and has multiple kids which doesn't exactly scream "WHALE" like most of his recent plays would lead you to believe. Hell, I wholesaled a property this year with my brother for 75k profit in 3 weeks work and even then i didn't even think about firing away like he's been lately.

RHT > Jimmy Ellis > LoneStar

LoneStar must be done about 2 million for the year at this point.

You're going to root for a team that celebrated child molestation. No morals?
