racer254 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Speaking of gambling, I know a friend who makes 6 figures and is broke 3 days after he gets his check. He usually misses work the very next day after getting paid. Doesn't drink, but will be in a bar betting those poker machines. Not so long ago, he had 12500 on a monday, broke by friday. It all goes into the machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to tell one of my fellow managers he should schedule his branch meetings for 11 with AA at 10, GA at 9 and NA at 8 as most of his staff needed some or all of the meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I went but wasn't in a hurry to go back if it had stayed open. Horse track just north of me here closed down some years ago. Still have a local redeo a few miles up the road though Ft Myers track is /was a dump . Kinda sad with the number of there key demographic around the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah I was a bit surprised it wasn't a little nicer all things considered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecat Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 I always bet on the dog that crapped on the track before the race. They never even showed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1jkw Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I owned and raced harness horses prior to and after the casinos opened, the purses were 2 to 3 times greater after the casinos opened but the competition due to the money was even greater, the drug trainers dominate the sport that's why I gave it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have them at my local county fair or at least they did in 2019. Whole fair was cancelled last year. A classmate of my brothers dad did it also. In fact he was the one who turned me into the NCAA for making money playing ball and got me suspended.

Our fair is like a mile from my house, that's where we trained our horses, stabled there sometimes but also shipped back and forth from home. Sadly many in the horse business are the most crooked fuckers you will ever meet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
