westcoastinvader, you don't get it
why do you think every track website
has something for people with gambling addiction?
like it or not, it is, a part of the sport
an excellent book to read is "Horseplayers" by Ted McClelland
this isn't a book glorifying the sport in any sense like 99% do
here's a fact for you, 16 Billion is bet every year on T'breds alone
only between 2% to 5% of players actually show a profit from "playing"
for someone to get addicted to it, and lose tons of money is very easy
one of the reasons why is they are always racing, 365
if you blow east coast, there's always west coast to try to break even
there are many "Jerrys" out there, this is no isolated incident
that's great if you can wager responsibly, but don't look down upon those
who can't, it's the same as any other addiction
