No words really, just disappointment.

That fucking 8 was fully restrained too, just waltzed by with a couple of secs before the wire.

They're heartbreaking but how good you are JT even when you miss.

I missed them all today except for one decent one, and another that was a bit better than breaking even from what I recall.

I have Northfield 12th and Mohawk 9th, I'm still losing for the day, was close to if not around $800 in.

See what happens and check out Sunday.

Yup that race pretty much summed up today and the last couple weeks for me in a nutshell. Even the couple of "winning" tickets have been losers..except for one I hit at Horseshoe. Unfortunately the "near misses" are becoming a trend.

I just saw your weekly update. OUCH!! That is painful and I'm not much better. I'm happy that it looks like bello had a real good day. It'll turn around hopefully sooner rather then later

Glad to hear it, yeh, bello needed that!

He left here and blasted off with his harness racing like his plan to study Northfield and root you on, good for him.  Uncle Jerry looked like he scored more than he wagered, nice there too.

Today despite a loser was a vast improvement for me, just like your 4/5 but getting closer to that winning point.

One of the ways I found psychologically to improve when going through this type situation and it works more often than not, and I'm going to do it tomorrow - cut the budget down and seek more precision, run some more scenarios.  Now if I change my mind because I'm feeling something I'll go back to the $400+ budget, as of now I cut it down to $200.

Another, if I have to, I'll just watch races and replays for a month, thousands of them.  Build a nice portfolio of potential talent, come back being 2-3 days ahead on the studying, and like you add the multilegs, amongst the per race bets and up the budget.

I treat it like a business, but sometimes I can be a bad boss here with myself as the sole employee, and have to make changes, even on winning days it could be that too.  It's a fun business, but winning and cutting the emotion out is crucial, having a balanced life, rest...all of it!   ;D

If you treat it like a business as you say,  you'll be filing for bankruptcy any day now. Judging by your terrible handicapping and constant losing, not only are you whacked out but so is your handicapping.
For the life of me I can't understand your need to show everyone your bets like anyone cares or give a shit how much you lose. Guess when you're lonely and starved for attention like you are, even showing people how stupid you are and what a bad handicapper you are is better than nothing. Some people may check out your picks so they can eliminate some of the horses you're betting or maybe just for comedic relief.

Yes please eliminate my selections, I of course love higher payouts when they do come in!  tmbz1

Welcome little pigeon...thanks for dedicating your first post under this new moniker to moi!   ;D

Everyone likes higher payouts but when you play trifectas and superfectas at many tracks the takeout is 30% or higher which will affect your price even if a miracle happens and you win. W-P-S and exactas have much lower takeout but the majority of people either don't understand the takeout rates or care. You seem like a smart person but looking over your wagers the majority are exotics with higher takeouts, just an observation.

No worries here I get VIP rebates!   ;D

I get rebates where I bet too, but I would much rather have more winners and less rebates. Rebates when you lose are like a consolation prize, they're nice to get, but don't come anywhere near to how much you lost.

This week sucked thus far, last week rocked!

I don't see you doing anything but talking bs.

Where are you predictions, wagers - mouth!

You've got the most vulgar mouth on here because you're a hothead! Unlike you, I don't feel the need to post any wagers, plus when I do bet, it's usually at the last minute. I have no idea why you and other people feel the need to post who you're betting and how much, it's nobody's business who I bet. Do posting your bets which take up pages somehow make you feel important, then you feel the need to tell people how much you're down for the week, all that does is show what a bad handicapper and sick gambler you are then when someone makes a comment, you get very defensive and start using some of your vulgar language. I do enjoy reading your detailed bets, it's like reading War and Peace and puts me to sleep. Enjoy playing your stake races and all the other ones you bet and lose on, I'll be watching!

All that shows is you're a sore loser who can dish it out and not take it. I do enjoy reading your detailed bets, it's like reading War and Peace, but keep up the good work because a-holes like you shouldn't be gambling because you're clueless. You want me to post a bet here's one, I will and here's a sure thing. If you want to make money, book Trigger's bets, because he wins about as often as there's a Triple Crown Winner, but at least he gets rebates from them!!

Don't get mad at me, just because I decimated your OT and Political sections and you are in need of a fight, a new punching bag lol!

No one here ever says War and Peace and the way you used it too.

Nice work Rainman2!   

My work was nicer though!  ;D
