Hard Core Horse Racing Fans....how many times has this happened to you.?

Question

You've been studying all week to pick the right horse for the big race.

You look at the race history of each horse,did it win,did it lose,how far ahead or behind where they?How long was the track,how was the weather,,Were they on Lasix,who was the Jockey.you look at the blood lines of each of the horses and how they did.You look at the dosage for each horse,you look at each of the jockeys and how they performed in the past. You study the trainers and the owners and there past performances,you study the training times.

And after all that you make your educated decision.Your wife or girlfriend looks over your shoulder and asks you to put a bet on a horse she picked out only because she likes the horses name.....and it wins!

Answer 1

Yeah, these horror stories happen to all serious handicappers. The only consolation is that in the long run, these crazy bets lose. Next time this happens challenge your significant other to a handicapping contest over a long series of races. If you lose this one, then you need to seriously reconsider your handicapping methods. LOL

Answer 2

That is why I love horse racing. .

Answer 3

dude, check this out.... my girlfriend here's me talking horses and bets all the time, she never wanted to go to the track until recently.. we went together, she knew about a pick 4 and how much they could pay. So, she picked 3 horses in each race of the pick 4 and I will be darn if she did not hit it with a $110 horse starting off the first leg... she won... the pick 4 paid $16,000. unbelivable...

Answer 4

I've been handicapping for some 35 yrs; my wife and I were @

Del Mar, last summer and the NUMBER # 8 Horse  "looks at her " while walking from the paddock.

So she tells me to bet $20.00 on it; to win.

I look in the Racing form and the #8 is  (1 for 16) total and 0 for 7

in 2007.

I tell her its a BAD BET!  So she still  puts 10 win and 10 place on

The horse; I forget its name but David Flores was riding @ 35-1

it wins and pays $75.80 to win $28.20 to place. she still gives me

S**T!

Answer 5

my partner does that to me frequently, it s*hits me so bad i put all this effort in through the week doing my form, she walks up Saturday morning grabs my form and says this, this and that will win, and often they do and there always at odds, never favorites.

Answer 6
