Known this for many a year...It is, sorry to say, ONE step before the knacker yard and, unfortunatly, they run like it

Hate how Mountaineer doesnt provide their feed online anymore. Stopped playing it years ago. Dont meet the 3 day betting threshold to get free video and replays through HPI.

Still the place where I had my biggest win choice at 70/1.

If they had live video ON THEIR SITE I would play it.

Guys, make your product available easily. Duh.

Gee...you make needing a job sound so "needy"...you must be showing up at your own job as a "hobby".

i'm not so sure the owners of that casino would be all that upset if they somehow got out of the racing business. must be some kind of contract situation that keeps it going.

Couldn't disagree with you more. Mark & Nancy are the ONLY simulcast feed I don't mute playing online and yeah they joke around and keep things light which keeps the players tuning in. if you misinterpret that as something twisted, I suggest you layoff the Dr. Phil reruns.

I hope you realize Mark posts on this forum and if you took the time to do 30 seconds of posting research before torching someones reputation you would find that above being sharp as a tack when it comes to this game, the guy goes above and beyond the call of duty to answer questions and share insight with others because he's just that type of guy.

There's nothing I love more then a good troll (EMD4ME my all time fav) but c'mon man, taking shots at Mark? Get real.

I didn't see the user or the posts that were banned but I am glad to see Mark and Nancy fans - some of the most fun commentary out there. I, too, love their friendly banter and ability to "keep it real." And their picks are definitely above average!

Tx, sir. I am simply incapable of sing-song cookie-cutter type commentary. I have just two modes: very intense, or completely irreverent. I am subversive by nature, and my sin is the sin of ego. I never get tired of telling people how much I think I know.

But the job has become more fun, and I've probably become a better analyst since I became aware of, and acknowledged, my shortcomings.

And yes. I do NEED the job. LOL.....

I miss Mountaineer when they had a lot of 10 horse fields. There was one year where post #10 had a higher win percentage then post #1. I won a lot of money that year. Mark and Nance bring a lot of insight to the races. Unfortunately I chose a selection Mark made last night in a 3 horse field who ran dead last. S*it happens. Lol

Spoke last night about this with Jim Colvin, our director of racing. And as best I could understand, contractual entanglements and contractual disputes that preceded his taking over make easier access to our signal an uphill battle. Jim is VERY aware of the pressing need to accomplish this and IS working hard on it. My impression was it WILL get done-but not real soon.

On an unrelated note, how do the people that script and unleash mindless internet attack dogs sleep at night?? Or actually think they are anonymous? Don't misunderstand me. It's an honor to work both my jobs, and I've received enough praise for 10 analysts, but personal attacks are always unsettling. Even the ones I never see, such as on this thread.
