good luck

its folks like you that makes me wish i could book bets. you took 1-1 on a horse thats never been 1 1/4, missed the prep and ran against inferior comp. in the USA. I saw this coming weeks ago. that horse has a hole in him bigger than the one in your pocket now. read horses form not what the idiot public handcappers write. that exacta was like money in the bank! its never how easy a horse wins against lesser horses, its who beats the best and runs with the best. sure invasor could of spent last year beating accountforthegold and valid notebook by 10 instead he was winning the BC CLASSIC by 2.

Your comment is insulting and foolish sounding. I assume you have never been wrong on a 6/5 shot before? Congrats on your posted Exacta. OThers here posted the same. I don't know how or why you get off calling people idioits for liking Discreet Cat. Unless of course you claim and show that you either bet him in his six straight prior wins or keyed/singled him based on the inferior competition he was facing. And no doubt, given the tone of your comment, you had him figured as the 7th best horse in the race yesterday.

And the exacta being money in the bank? It's folks like YOU who make the game possible to beat in my opinion. You may have beat this race thinking you got back better than a bank will pay you. Then again, the bank doesn't make you run around the block for it.

You had an opinion and wound up right. Someone else's opinion was wrong. Too bad your win wasn't good enough for you. I guess you're a fortunate person since you can feel justified calling someone an idiot for being wrong about an even money shot while you pocket a $13 Exacta. i hope it carried you through the day.

And by the way, if you are so confident about the bookmaking business, get yourself a Betfair account where you can 'book' action like you say you wish you could.

You'll find all you can eat there.

Pointgiven,

Here are the reasons DC was a bad bet

Off a layoff
In bad hands
Distance in question
Even money
No American vetting going on
Champion in the field at the same price

Those are six reasons you dont unload on that horse, six very good reasons. We all learn from our mistake, hopefully next time you see a lightly raced, carefully campaigned horse, against a proven champion, you go the other way.

all the reasons i loved invasor. i didn't call Point Given an idiot. i said he used bad judgement in the bet. i did call the public handicappers idiots though. if you've been following horses a long time and betting, you know better,not to bet alot on a 1-1 in that situation. being a fan of discreet cat is fine but losing more than you have ever in your life on a bet like that. then coming on here and and saying you got crushed doing so, well is not prudent. i've been around long enough to read the "hype" and not be effected by it. the media makes heros of these horses and you can follow them right to the window, get low (no value) odds and lose your money. this has been going on for years . by the way ,sent to stud, i concidered him the 3rd best horse yesterday PT and Invasor have been competing at championship level for months now, both improving, discreet cat for all of his talent has basically been sitting on the bench.
