Great News For Me

2MinsToPost · #1 02-07-2007, 07:10 PM

I now have a syndicate to play some Pick 4's and an occasional stab at the Magna 5 on Saturdays. We talked at great length today at Beulah about how we would do this since I am not able to attend every Saturday like he is, seeing how I have to work most weekends

I have never had a regular "gambling partner" if you will but I am very excited about our chances at a score or two during the course of the next couple of months. I would HIGHLY recommend this to the other novice players that read this board. Small investment on a weekly basis with someone you trust. Every Friday evening we will talk the card over, my partner is a very experienced player and has seen many ups and downs of playing the ponies. I will just sit back and listen. Our arrangemnt is simple, I trust his judgement. If I feel strongly about a horse or two that should be included he will play accordingly. But, the actual ticket structure is his. 50/50 right down the middle. Really, really like the way this arrangement has worked out and now that I am in a financial situation to do it, very excited.

Sounds good.

If you find the right type of person(s), that can be lots of fun.

no worries, it was a good line...I resisted even calling them for a quote for a long time because I despised their ad campaigns...but sometimes being stubborn is just stupid

State Farm beat out Geico big time on my insurance rates. LOL

Curt,

I'm in the same boat as you... I've been to driving school 3 times already.

You think that's high? I pay $100 a month for car insurance and that's considered cheap down here. Then again, my driving record speaks for itself... LOL

My girl told me that I have 8 years good driving, but I have gotten like 15 tint tickets, 10 no front plate tickets, and 2 speeding tickets......pretty hilarious

That's classic... I've only gotten 4 speeding tickets in my life, but it was how fast I was going that really got me.

85 in a 45, 100 in a 70, 70 in a 50 and 50 in a 35. HAHA

We don't have to have front plates in Florida, so I'm good on that one.

they actually write 100 in a 70....I was going like 110 back from school once and got pinched but the cop wrote it for 83 in a 65. It is common practice in Illinois, unless you are acting like an idiot

Well, I don't know if it's typical or not, but yep, he sure as heck wrote it for me. Ticked me off too... I was late getting back to Orlando for my rehearsal dinner for my wedding. Maybe it was a sign from God that I wasn't supposed to get married. Too bad it was a lesson learned too late.
