Only $900???

I found this auction...well...kind of strange..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...565818259&rd=1

What kind of return am I going to get for my money? I'm not even a "jughead" but for $900 I'd enter the contest myself and take my chances.

A little odd indeed HeadH, the young man does state that it is not a money making deal but a "chance to fullfile his dream". The real entry fee for that contest is $700 with the other $200 as betting capital of which if you win you get to keep all of the winnings from that $200. So if you are a good capper you can nail down part of the $700 for the real entry fee. Plus 1st place is a cool $50,000. Hey Head whata sponser me?? LOL LOL

Gee,
you'd think after 15 yrs of handicapping if he were any good he'd have $900 laying around for the entry fee. Or he could even pick up the bucks the day before at the track.

I'm heading to the Orleans in a couple of weeks. How about everyone buys entries, I"ll make the selections...when I get back I"ll let you know how you did.

What'a ya think?

The travel expenses to get to 55 racetracks across the country should be about 20-fold what the $900 entry fee is..

Sounds a little fishy to me..

(And if you're asking for money, at least use spell check...sheesh)
