It's not necessarily fishy, but it's horrendous customer service. How can a main track be so crappy with their photos? Beyond belief.

I though the 2 won as well, and I had no money riding on...

Wouldn't mind seeing the numbers per track.

SA used to be my main track, but I'm starting to avoid it. Hadn't given it much thought, but it hurts my ears having to listen to that new race caller....

You've probably learned who to bet. But now you may be looking at too many races, and thereby lowering the bar, setting yourself up for losses. The next thing is knowing when to bet. If the playing...

Perhaps tellingly, 'Luck' was about a bunch of degenerates winning big... Why are gambling movies always so standard? Either the degenerate loses, the moralistic angle, or he wins for the feel-good...

The problem in life, amplified by gambling, is not the ability to make mistakes. It is the stupidity to keep repeating them.

Post race analysis is crucial and common sense. But if you take it...

That last part makes no sense at all. If sharp players would absolutely detest losing, they wouldn't bet (or not bet enough to make it count). They recognize it as part of the game. They know they...

It may seem that way, on the surface, but you merely describe an action junkie. Someone who is capable of brilliance, as attributed to Milch in the article, is clearly more than an action junkie. ...

It's been bad since Trevor left.

Cold 'cheating trainers' superfecta just now in R5 at SA. Not that hard with five red flagged in a field of nine.

But it doesn't mean that the manner of thinking behind the DQ -...
