No. The whole point of the show parlay, is that you never win. What's the fun in quitting when you're ahead? It's mainly having something to B*tch about when you bust out.

The breakage eats you up.

I'd be over trying to manipulate the odds on a dog race...but other than that, I'm in.

Put me in for $20. One condition, I have no input in the ticket because as Rare Bogs says don't assume I know anything...

Oh is there a new rule saying that we must quote with pinpoint precision? Perhaps we can just use footnotes and let the readers decide for themselves? Is that too formal?

I have had a lot of horses surprise me though usually the bad way.

And actually all three of my horses ran about as well as expected yesterday.

Sensational stuff.
Yes that is what I said. It has never happened. Every horse has run exactly according to plan except when pinheads mess it up.

The biggest mistakes most jockeys make is having kids...
