You know the saying 'An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away!''
In racing we talk about value, speed figures, biases, but no one ever mentions winners.
'A winner a day keeps you in the game until the next day'
Picking winners is the name of the game, I see these insane posts about value, value, value.
'I didn't have the winner but I picked value' said one handicapper on a some chat group, of which violates every copyright, trademark and Intellectual Properties laws known to man.
It's the newest and bestest way of saying i can't pick a winner.
As Amy Kearns, our in house HR which approves all these blogs, said this morning on her way yo Kroger in her car "You start with a fucking winner!"
Hello
"I bet the 30-1 because he was the value,'' and after he got beat by 30 lengths excuses are a plenty, the jockey, the track, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Those handicappers have zero accountability for their own futility, and hide behind the value flag.
This is my opinion 'THEY CAN'T FORKING HANDICAP'. Not one Ray Liotta of handicapping talent.
You play to win a race. It's a simple game. You want to play the horse that crosses the finish line first, novel idea.
Like Herman Edwards says : You play to win the game. Hello.
I love the incredulous look on his face addressing the reporter. I know that look I use it daily.
Hello
The aesthetic of todays social media, it is all about how you are perceived nowadays.
Who you are and what you stand for is superseded by how you want to be perceived, oh no not reality.
Some of you guys I bet use Nair on your legs.
Man up, boys!
Pick winners. If you can't pick a winner we thank you because, there is those of us who can, we appreciate your donation to the pools.
A ton of players also worry about the Computer Generated Players, its like worrying that an asteroid is going to slam into our planet, like we can do something to stop it.
You are not going to be a Bruce Willis let alone Owen Wilson, taking a space shuttle to land on the asteroid, 'in the scariest enviroment imaginable' - Armaggedon (1998)
Computer Generated Players are not going anywhere, they are here to stay, they don't play to win the game, they play to break even and make millions of dollars in rebates by simply breaking even.
Hello!
They don't play value, they don't look for longshots, they are looking at numbers and bottom line.
Winners aren't easy to come by, winners take some work, not betting a horse you heard was good today from the brother of the jockey mistress' husbands uncle.
It takes labor, it takes work, not your barber, your bookie, your preacher or pastor, giving you a tip, after all it is labor day and I got an Apple Streudel waiting for me for breakfast.
