Gulfstream Race 7

The remainder of the GP card has been CANCELLED!   

[Trigger]

Prior to that, going to the beginning year, no month with more than a +/- $2k win / loss, and with rebates likely no worst than even smaller than that or break even on the loss side.

Now, this fucking cooler...

From August 1, 2025 - Today, September 21, 2025

Totals       27,544.10    100.00%    16,040.71    (11,503.39)    -41.76%

This has been horrible.  With promos and rebates still a $10k hit.

This week an L for a G loss.  Little less with rebates, and promos, -@$700.

My budget going forward is $300 a week.  That is fixed for the entire rest of the year.  Betting off wins allows more, however no out of pocket weekly investment more than $300 and that includes rebates which I can withdraw, however promos credited to me would have to be wagered so they would be allowed.

Terrible name for a football team, sure sounds strong in one aspect but anyone who has the start of the Titanic has an uphill psychological battle 

I'll take the titanic vs the Iceberg plus points 

Luckily it was only one bill I bet.

Not great man.. but as you know, we learn ,adapt and make adjustments accordingly. It can be tough sticking to a budget... I know you will pick your spots wisely

The budget will be stuck to  , and no borrowing from the next week  .  Rebates will start and pay this week going forward, so a depositing breather anyway.  It's either pure budget, budget - promos and win to wager more.  I'm also going to start with wagering more on the higher potential paying wagers like the multilegs, hi5, carryover pools, a lot less with the bs same race wagers unless long shots involved or large win bets.

Tomorrow Finger Lakes, that card so back in the lions den there.  They have 4 stakes races too in their 9 race card.  Then Harrington which I'm 3/4 winning days and up over a G total.  Prior to that it must be a decade or so since I bet it.  Harrington will be fast and FL will likely be fast with minor if any rain.

It will be tough for me not to bet on the Finger tomorrow, but I have taken a beating their recently. After today and tonight I'm taking at least a few days off.. reasses strategies and clear my head. I like your new strategy. I exorcized my Gulfstream demons today, but I know a bigger one is in the near future. Hopefully tomorrow you break the finger, not a leg

race 5  34/6/3/5/29

JT, I imagine you dont want to look at a buggy for awhile

[Trigger]

JT and Bello, you too are prime time handicapping athletes, Sunday night is a last ditch efforts for loooosers (like me  ) to hail mary some cash back.

Anywho,I saw the results.  3/4 on both JT, I wouldn't even know about Bello's if I didn't follow Dougie's $80 place wager.

What's so special about you two anyway, you pick winners and cash tickets. I on the other hand cause horses to looooooooosssse.  I won my only race at Hawthorne and before my next race at GP went off they shut the track down.  Can you do that?!
