Default The Two Old Guys

The other night the two old guys were looking at Churchill Race 1 for today. They focused on the 1 horse, Who Goes There. I don't for certain if they are wagering today. I should know more later on this morning.

Thats funny. I am playing that horse in a parlay with Ministers Bid. I expect even money on both. Looking to turn $250 into a quick $1000.

Dont know if you are going to get even money or not. Last night when they left my house they said they had to make a couple of calls and then they laughed. Dont know if they were serious or not. I will let you know, I have $2500 ready to lay down if they bet.

I am sticking with those two horses regardless of odds or who picks them. I liked them yesterday and I still like them both. $2500 is quite a bit for $8K claimers, but that horse and New Awakening in the 3rd at Churchill look like easy chalk winners today.

That is unreal, the only people that make real money betting are people that pick their spots and don't go betting anything else. I know a guy who gambles for a living and he only plays win bets. He gambles on all the big tracks, including the ones in Japan. You can't be an action junkie if you want to make real money gambling.

Exceller, you are really full of ****. Here you say you're betting these horses REGARDLESS OF ODDS. Now, you say you didn't bet it because the odds were too low. That's actually the right way to gamble, but frankly I don't think you're wise enough to know it. Unless of course it's after the fact and your horse has already lost; then it's easy to say you didn't bet it. Go ahead, make the next phone call.

I was betting $250 today. That is what I budgeted. The first horse lost. I didn't bet the second because at 3-5 what is the point in betting $100. To make $60. I originally was betting $250 on the horse in the first at Churchill and then dumping it all on Ministers Bid. Now I am betting a late double at Belmont for $100 using Ministers Bid and Mascot. I bet with real money. I don't go making up these $1000 and $500 bets I see here all day. You guys are full of it. You wouldn't be able to pay for your computers let alone the electricity if you guys were really betting that type of money. What are you all independently wealthy? LOL.

Any updates on this? I go to lunch in about 45 minutes and I was thinking of riding over to CD and plunking a little down.
