After some soul searching .... my farm is riding on #7 Maximum Security. And my chicken coop is riding on #6 Vekoma. If they come 1st and 2nd, I'm going to Sizzler! This is bullsh*t! Live odds show Maximum Security is now the favorite at 4.5:1 and my original pick - Game Winner is now 6:1. Already bought my tickets. Maximum Security was 10:1 yesterday. The son of b*tch better win or die trying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Owns the 2nd best speed figure (tie) in the race and got that speed figure in an 11 horse field without exerting much energy. Also seems to get better with added distance. He might be the favorite at post time. 1 hour ago, GobbleDog said: This is bullsh*t! Live odds show Maximum Security is now the favorite at 4.5:1 and my original pick - Game Winner is now 6:1.

jerryskids 5,415 Posted May 4, 2019 I did a crossword puzzle recently, the theme of which was a quote by WC Fields. To paraphrase: "Horse sense" is that thing horses have which make them not bet on people. I mean, I get that it is fun to have a little cha-ching on a rooting interest, but seriously people, you are betting on an animal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BiPolarBear 476 Posted May 4, 2019 Texas is backwards in all things, including betting. We are one of 9 States where it is illegal to bet online. I did enjoy reading geeks text about horses and betting, so from an admitted lack of knowledge and skill, I put an imaginary $50 on Maximum Security, for the win, and a Maximum Security, Vekoma, Win Win Win trifecta at $50. There is a local horse race track where you can place a legal KD bet. I will probably go there in the future. I am sure there are apps and work-arounds to bet online, but it is not worth the scramble to me. Good luck to real geek betting peeps. I hope you kill it.

Arizona is similar although I haven't overly looked into it; something driven by the tribal casino lobby. We can't do daily fantasy here for instance. Probably just as well, as I don't need another vice. I'm told a workaround is to use a credit card which goes to an address in a state which allows online gambling. BTW, this track is a mess, and I think I just saw Von Miller in a Ru Paul outfit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
