IMO, betting a horse "Across the Board" is moronic

Once again, that article has NOTHING to do with my theory on ATB betting.  Just because you had a good year betting the ponies last year is irrelevant.  Someone else posted some good counterpoints regarding 7-1 or higher, but I still respectfully disagree with their thought process. 

Kurshka, you make the same mistake in arguments as ChanceP and Danno do.  They erroneously assume that I am a sore loser when I make a mathematical point.  At this point, their ignorance becomes laughable.  

 

Nobody said there was going to be a math test.

You guys do realize that if you deal with a local, the government never gets involved!  I know it's the cutsie modern way to bet online but then you'll always leave a paper trail! I don't need the hassle. Cash is always king!

All I did was come in here and thank you for your insight.  I have no idea who ChanceP or you are and I don't care.  But thanks for calling me stupid and ignorant.  Your mathmatical wizardry has me confused and scared.  Please keep all your complex algorithms and quantitative research in this thread, and I will keep my ignorant ass out.    

 

 

danno, did he call you stupid or ignorant?

 

dont understand the hate....on these boards......

Oh.  You mean those kind of thank yous?  My mistake for the misunderstanding, you know-it-all. 

No problem, math genius.  Any other advanced mathematical theories for us?  I had trouble understanding how else you could bet $30 (besides 10W, 10P, 10S), but I showed your 5 + 10 + 15 method to a guy I know who teaches math to geniuses, and he was able to explain it a little bit more to me.  I think I get it now.  Just go slow with that kind of stuff, and I should be ok. 

Danno, I forgot that I was talking to a professional megalomaniac like yourself.  After all, like Kurshka, you provided nothing of substance for a counter-argument.  Next time you tell me YOU made a poor bet, I will call you a liar, as you are obviously incapable of making any errors in judgement.    

What can I do to get you to leave me alone?  I don't understand why you're interested in me.  I just noticed you quoted me in that silly hangover thread in GD.  Just go away and play with other mathematicians. 

Same reason you are interested in me.  Each one of us thinks the other person is retarded, but you seem to provide more evidence of it than do.

 

Evidence of your own retardation, that is.  I have plenty of time to wait for ONE valid point from you.  Until I get eveidence of that, keep spewing your worthless diatribe and emoticons. 

I've never claimed mathematical superiority over anyone.  I've never started a thread just to call other peoples' gambling methods 'moronic'.  I've never insulted your intelligence. 

I try to be civil on here.  You try to be an asshole.  And you succeed. 

The funny thing is, I don't even bet horses across the board (except in rare occasions).  I just think you're a pompous J.O. who likes to pretend he's smarter than everyone else.   

Oh brother. Somebody just broke out of the mental ward. Hey is that Bobby the Brain in your photo. Dang Danno thats your third stalker this year.

Sorry Kursh.  At first he was just bothering me in the poker forum, but it's apparently spread to horses.  With the Derby approaching and all the extra traffic around here, I may have to go to horseswild with Gambler315.

 

No stick around Danno. Already lost Mikey but he told me will stick around at times. Look when I first came here is was a ghost town. I was the A-hole at first but this place has really turned around. A lot of good guys and cappers. 315 can I ask you to change? I know you can cap but stop clogging the forum with every track. And keep your picks to less than the whole field.
Seriously 315 you probably have a lot to bring to the table. Hope you do.

Wiz you done why your self pity rants?

Self-pity rants?  Kurshka, you appear to be a know-it-all, pompous prick, but Danno is definitely one.  Too bad I touched a nerve by offering valuable insight on my experiences booking Derby parties and sharing my own gambling mistakes with others. 

As far as being smarter than everyone else, I passionately explain my opinion and welcome any contradicting points.  You don't have to agree with ANYTHING I say, but mental lightweights like yourselves just respond with your smarmy sarcasm and lack of insight. 

And Danno accuses me of stalking him when it is the other way around.  In the poker rooms or my rare visits in the horse forum, Danno usually has some immature, intellectually devoid response to my posts.  You two agreeable, delusional sorts deserve each other.   

It's only moronic if you bet the wrong horse (odds wise).  You DON'T bet a even money horse WPS, but you DO bet a 30-1 WPS if you think he can win.  The show will pay enough to cover the other 2 bets.

Wizard, seriously, I can't believe I would even think about boxing someone in the horse forum. We are supposed to be an intellectual degenerate group.

Stop, man, stop. We get your point. If you have some specific facts to back up your claim, lets hear it and lay it out there. Otherwise, you are debating conjecture.

Just like a horse race itself, there is no right and no wrong in terms of handicapping. There simply are some people that are better at it than others.

Let's hear some derby or prep insight rather than a lecture based on one's opinion of how, not what, they should and shouldn't bet.

djbrow, what is a linesman in here?  Just curious as I never saw that one before.

Djbrow, I'll drop the argument here, but I think you are off base.  If you read my initial theory on ATB betting, I NEVER made it a personal attack on anyone here at the forum.  However, Kurshka and Danno made it personal by slinging mud my way.  And I then responded in kind.  I guess it is safest to just put a positive emoticon on this board instead of trying to stimulate interesting debate over a betting strategy. 

My initial argument has NOTHING to do with who is the better horse handicapper.  To anyone that cares, I was a teller at a horse track for awhile, and that is where my belief and theory was developed.  But as far as HANDICAPPING races, I admit that I am AWFUL.

Gambler-moderator, linesman,etc. We just try to keep the site clean. I am a pretty relaxed mod. I don't like to use any form of authority unless need be. Most of these guys knew me way before "modship." \

 

Wizard- not really. Reread this thread. You make a statement that everyone who does X is moronic. Couple of long time posters respond to a very general statement, you call them stupid.

Look, the thing is this....Mikey, Kursha, Danno, Vet, Atlas, etc. have been a while. We have a very good site here and it will be really good in the next couple of weeks. There will be lots of opinions, and lots of great points. And people who will offer great info. With respect to a great philosopher, be the horse, Danny, be the horse.

 

 

Degenerates

Wiz your bumping every thread. Why not this one.

Kurshka, you appear to be a know-it-all, pompous prick, but Danno is definitely one.

Your lucky we got DJ instead of WSC.
