I wish i could write as well as you can but here is my truth,     Everything you talked about is so ABC to me and most people reading this have no concept of what you are talking about but its dead on,      Your article is exactly what real players talk about but they are all gone but you left out a very important fact that someone is corrupting the pools with huge money going on horses that leave well and that makes the rake even tougher to beat and you have to look for closers because they become value an eighth of a mile into the race,         I never thought that carryovers would be a losing bet for the pro but all carryovers do is eliminate the rake and with the racing so biased on speed and small prices carryovers are nothing special even though it better than no carryover,       Send your article to drivers and management and most likely no one will read it or understand it but all you need is one to understand,    When i first wrote about the death of the game i had one of the big posters say that i have spoken to many gamblers and no one is quitting and this is one of the better writers on here and last join in and talk about stupidity and you will fit in,    i can go on and on but like the guys who have no clue would say it a dead game laddies without telling us why.

the bolded is why handle is "retail" dropping off rapidly--but handle has been rendered meaningless as long as slot welfare is propping up the entire industry

it's called betting after the bell ....that is allowed otherwise there would be a massive handle loss

What are you doing to enjoy it?

As for myself, sitting in one of the platforms at Sunshine Meadows in Delray Beach Florida waiting for one of my horses I own a part of train shortly. 75 degrees, sunny and getting a tan too!

From 20 miles south...getting fucked in the ass with my ridiculous picks at Mohawk as of last night.   

Was at Sunshine Meadows, 20 years ago.  Checking out the beautiful Norwegian horse women, feeding a retired Hambo winner an apple, playing cards with the guys.

Good luck with your horses and your tan. 

If either of you was as well off as you say, you would know the fortune President Trump has brought to the wealthy!

I’m really not concerned about the wealthy!

All I know is I’m far from broke and living a real life.

Trigger is right!  What’s it like to live in a dungeon and spew the same nonsense over and over again and not having a life!

Democrats are at it again shutting down parts of the government!  Why shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, Secret Service? This has to hurt any midterm hopes they have!

WRONG AGAIN!

Both parties are!
