Sorry I quit human sports
I don't like the changes at all
and I don't want to learn a whole new younger generation
all I do is horses and some dogs

I sign off and watch on Fanduel TV

If I win maybe I will remember to sign in tomorrow

If I don't win then I'll probably not

But seriously I am serious

U would rather bet on Horses at Mountaineer????? LOL. I no many of the Jockeys there. . I'd go pick up a new I Phone and get back into sports if I were you. Good luck with the horses though.

I know Mountaineer is a chit track for sure. I actually do not bet Mountaineer often.
Yes, I will bet Wheeling sometimes, but not that often, maybe once a week.
Yes, Wheeling is a chit track also but as you know there are only 2 greyhound tracks left in the US
and they both were considered to be chit tracks back when we had more tracks. But they do still offer Show bets unlike the foreign tracks. I have hit some nice Show payouts at Wheeling this year.
This bet technically won. Not much, though, because it ended up being a popular play and the 2 only showed. Results were 4/7/2.

Snowball,
As for Mountaineer, there is a bias that can exist there on the inside. It severely favors certain horses at certain times. If you are familiar with that, then you know what to look for. If not, I highly encourage you to go to my thread in horse racing and key word search bias, grading, inside, etc. This is information that 98% of fans do not understand or can spot. Simply put, it is an unfair advantage for those few that truly understand it, when it does exist. If it does not exist, that is fine as well, but you need to know when betting.
Not only do you gain insight from which horse HAD a great rail to run well on, even better, you gain information on why a horse did NOT run well, especially when expected to by the bettors.
Priceless info Snowball. Hope you read about it and feel free to ask a question in my thread about it as well, if necessary. Good Luck at the Mountain.

Bringing back memories for me with Wheeling Island and Mountaineer (as well as The Meadows).

Was an 18 year old kid scrounging any info I could get and risking my minimum wage and making connections that would last me well beyond my time in the valley.

Mountaineer has always been a shit show - but yea, some guys ALWAYS seem to find a way to win there. Also remember going up there many times for boxing matches as a “kid” - usually some way past their prime name beating up on some never was nobody.
