Harvey Pack should know

Stall Mucker · #1 08-05-2008, 10:23 AM

The handicappers on OTBTV are pros and do handicap everyday of the year.

If it wasn't for OTB, Mr. Pack would not be in our living rooms.

And, exploiting children as handicappers on the "air" is not good TV or a responsible act.

I'm not going to lower myself to what you are desperately attempting to stir up here, but Harvey had zero to do with Jake Romans being MY guest yesterday. How exactly was Jake " exploited " yesterday?

And, furthermore, it was Jake's father, Dale Romans, who spoke to me about Jake being on. I was more than happy to have him as a guest and hope he can come back next year.

I enjoyed the show yesterday, and thought it was great seeing Jake up there.

Simple, common sense professionalism.
No desperation Throat. No stirring. I like Harvey. I think he's a real character. Sometimes he throws shots at others that don't come across as funny as he's trying to be.
As far as the young lad, I just don't think it was a good call.

Really, who gives a sh1t what a 10 year old kid is doing on a summer day at 12 noon?

They have kids on CNBC picking stocks and on Jeopardy!.

Did the kid pick a couple of winners?

Cannon Shell · #14 08-05-2008, 11:20 AM

He is a much better poker player than handicapper, btw

Antitrust32 · #15 08-05-2008, 11:21 AM

did the kid give out any winners??

I dont know whats up with this supposed moral authority here. There has been a million stories on here about Parents taking their kids to the track... or people here who used to go way back when... I cant see anything wrong with having Jake Romans on the show. I'm sure it will be a memorable experience for the boy also.

#16 08-05-2008, 11:23 AM

Is he a connoisseur of food like his father?

#17 08-05-2008, 11:24 AM

I took my daughter to the track quite frequently.
A good way to get kids interested in numbers.

Of course now that she is a tatoo artist I blame myself.

I took my kids to the track as well, even bet for them. I now take their kids to the track.
I probably agree that children on TV handicapping is not a good idea.

I know exactly what you are referring to concerning Harvey. However, I think you are sort of ignoring the big picture. He makes fun of everyone....including himself. He calls all of us, basically, idiots ( including me ). It's his schtick.

And, once again, he had absolutely nothing to do with Jake being on yesterday. I'm sorry if you felt it was a " bad call " having him on but as you know, you can't please everyone all the time and, even though I disagree with you on this particular issue, none of us are immune from making possibly bad decisions on guests we bring on shows. We simply are trying to do the best we can. I know I am.

Cannon Shell · #20 08-05-2008, 12:07 PM

Paseka was a much more questionable guest
