See, this is what I'm talking about.

Remember this next time before you send me some huffy boo-hoo private message.

If she goes, I will take action that she will not finish last -- which should be a great bet for you, considering that she is "at least 5 lengths better" than the worst colt or gelding in the race.

You would select Tiago, NoBiz, and 18 random Giants Causeway colts

Fantastic. Someone will give me action that a horse will NOT finish last in a 20 horse field. Best betting proposition of my life.

Give me odds.

And I posted on your odds post simple because I hate numerical inaccuracy...it was not wasted time in the least. Plus, I'm trying to increase my post count with irrelevant posts -- and you say I learn nothing from you.

lets make the bet right now because the filly wont even make the gate so she wont even get the chance to finish last.

It has nothing to do with what you bet. If he's not 30-1 he's not 30-1. I'm all about factual accuracy.

And we can't make the bet until she's going to the Derby -- the bet is sort of predicated on her going to the Derby. I thought that was obvious....oh well.

no i'd take the bet now, because you have a great shot that she wont run last i should at least get the shot that she wont even make it


and as for the 30-1 its very petty of you to correct me on that in my opinion im sure im not the only one who would have said it was a 30-1 winner.

Well sorry that I'm concerned with factual accuracy - I called Antitrust out on the very same thing awhile back. So as much as you'd like to think so, it's not just you. A horse is not at X-1 odds until the horse reaches X or greater to 1 odds. I'm sure she'll vouch if she reads this.

And the bet was predicated on your assertion that she would not be within five lengths of any horse in the gate. Therefore, she needs to be in the gate for the bet to work. Your words, not mine. So, should she enter, I'll be glad to pull this sumbitch back up and hold you to it. What'll the odds be, considering that I'm giving you a five length headstart?

I wanna know now what kinda odds you will give me. We have a good idea of who will enter, and of course you should only be concerned with the 19th best horse in the field as far as the bet goes, because that's the only horse she has to beat. Of course, she will enter, you'll offer me 1-10,000,000 odds that she won't run last and I won't take it. So let's hash it out now since you're so sure and I'm interested in knowing to what point you'd back that wild assertion.

1-SOMETHING

You're the one who's sure she is five lengths worse than anyone else in the field.

Obviously, I realize that the odds are in my favor -- so I'd even be willing to stretch it for better odds to say that she will finish better than 15th. So not only will I give you that she won't finish last, but that she will beat more than a quarter of the field.
