Maybe at Oak Tree (Santa Anita) soon to open.
Or any big track that will have a huge carryover.
I'm thinking of a maybe putting 50k into it. With maybe 20 players who will invest at least a dime.
Someone known as honest and upright (SBR John - is he and is he in the US now?) can put the ticket in and cash when it wins - provided he doesn't own back taxes or child support.
There are some good horse cappers on these boards, Yrs truly too, when I feel like taking the time. We'll use a composite Pick Six ticket, with input from all qualified horseplayers (who put up their shareof the seed money).
Has to be a really hefty carryover to make it worthwhile.
AND HERE'S THE GREAT PART! NO RISK!
If we lose, we go to Treasury Secretary Paulson and Fed Chairman Bernacke, and tell them we need a bailout.
Because the entire horse racing industry is hurting, and if bettors like us get turned off and stop betting, thousands in that industry will lose their job.
We point out that bettors are the foundation of the horse racing business. Without us, the business collapses overnight.
The horse racing biz is "Too Big To Fail." And we bettors are part of the horse racing biz. The most important part, in fact.
Yes, sir, Mr Paulson. We took our chance and lost.
So what? So did the bankers and brokers. They took a chance and lost, and are getting bailed.
Because their businesses are, as you say, "too big to fail."
We too, as part of the vital horse racing industry, are Too Big To Fail.
We come to you with our patriotic hands outstretched.
It's a mere $50,000, sir. Your friends on Wall Street spend that on lunch.
We did fail. Now we need bail. Or we will wail.
