It just shows how hard the game is, and how gullible the average player/customer is considered to be.
I think that fellow PA member 'Teach' was the only guy I saw specify the 5
before the race. Teach wisely went five deep in a leg that required depth, and was very sharp to pick the winner (I went six deep, and did not have him!).
Teach posted a winning ticket for about $1,600 or possibly less with an ABC system. Not sure, but I may(or may not) have seen some 'All' for the last leg with Facebook friends, although I don't believe anyone happened to post a winning ticket in that small sample.
I gave Teach some congrats, and he deserves a lot more congrats for those picks. He is a regular poster in the selections section. Selections board can get quiet at times.
After the race, I was amazed that some touted the
as their
Top Selection!!
Glad they recouped some $ for what must be miserable other 364d/yr with a system that picks that horse on top...
I can't knock anyone who earns income as a tout. At least not as a man. More power to anyone who can earn a living or additional income in this game.
In serious handicapping/horseplaying discussion, there is really no place for redboarding.
A Vic Stauffer gets a pass in a situation like this. He's paid his dues, and we know he's simply proud of a score on a clever ticket. Maybe he's been waiting to go all-in on Madame Uno since he handicapped the Paco Lopez race @ Belmont? Or maybe this was one of some 25 tickets? It was a sharp play.
For 'ordinary' players, or someone who wants to sell me something, you have to post
before the race for any credit.
