My ROI goes something like this...

I walk into the track, go up to the teller, give him/her half of my money, he takes me outside and kicks me in the nuts.. then I call it a day.

That's about it. I get to stand in line waiting to place my $2 wager. But I get to hear Mr. Bigshot brag loudly about his upcoming Lobster Bake at his lakeside retreat after he returns from a coast to coast business trip and how he's gonna bet $50 or $100 on a horse on the upcoming race because he looks so good to his eye.

after the race i cash my ticket and chuckle Mr. Bigshot is outta his bet; if we're not both outta ours.

All I want is, once a month, to be taking a funds transfer out of the wagering account and putting it into the savings account, rather than the other way around ....

If I paid too much attention to the volume of "churn" in between in great detail, I'd probably stop wagering
