Golden Gate Closing… Racing Dying

loser game for the bettor

That's a historic track that has been around for years. Unfortunately horse racing is a dying breed, not attracting enough attention. It does get some recognition during the Triple Crown but that's about it

Santa Anita next

I’m a big horse racing guy and I might bet 3-4 days/year anymore.

TC races and usually not Belmont if triple crown not on the line and BC days if I get around to it.

only Derby Day do I really get excited for the ponies anymore.

no way to beat it long term with 18 percent take/rake

For smaller bets that’s true Bobby but a lot of the offshore and even some Vegas/US books have limits on how much you can get paid on any given track/race.

If you hit a big super it would suck only getting paid a fraction of what you should.

That’s why I like to make all horse bets at the local track if I can.

That's true. Good point

couple of guys followed an old guy home from the daytona track years ago and blasted him in the chest with a shotgun for like $200

Pun intended Mr. Bobby?
I mean with all the horses dropping at some tracks, makes you wonder what's going on with these trainers.

No pun intended actually. I'm sure there's some shady stuff happening behind the scenes
