None of you believed me. All of you said i was crazy, a terrible gambler and that i was wrong. Some of you even threw an intervention for me saying i 'had a problem. Well im saying it:

Last Race Results
Big Winner: Lucinda Jean $550000

Payoff
1 Three Legged Tom
2 Cataphrac
3 Ginger
4 Lightning
5 Tornado
6 Tammy Two-Tales
7 Naked Joe
8 Whiskey
9 Siesta
10 Old Nellie

See? It was 100:1 but TOM WAS DUE!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE WAS!!!!!!!!! And *i* was supposed to win when he was!!!!!!!!! :(
I am both dissapointed and gratified at the same time!!!!
I TOLD YOU ALL! I do NOT have a problem. And TOM'S A BUM!!!!! >:[

That is all. :)
Go ahead, make fun of me, i know you're all waiting to get your shots in, c'mon. Im ready. But i WAS right.

And to Lucinda Jean, congrats but i hope you'll understand if i cant look at you right now. I just....cant. Literally years of faithfully betting on that BUM and he FINALLY wins. But....congrats.

And if any of you thought this would finally kick my addiction to the tracks or my obsession with tom, you're sadly mistaken. I just placed three more bets on said bum. Why? Because hes due again!!!!!!! :D

I think your three posts illustrate all we need to know about whether or not you have a problem ;)

You know, they have a saying where I come from... I'll paraphrase since it's NSFW.

A man can spend his whole life building bridges, but the moment he wets his pants, he's no longer a bridge-builder; he's a pants-wetter.

Relevant here? I have no idea.

I'll have it noted for the record i did not wet my pants.

I may not have many things, but excellent bladder control is one thing i do. :)

Hold on Jason...

You mean you don't know HOW to win a bet on Three Legged Tom?

I thought it was easy...

CONSPIRACY THEORY:

SS solves a 2-year-old villain hunt. The SAME DAY, 3-Legged Tom wins at the track.

Connected?

All I know is, if I see four guys on horses, I'm getting the F out.

Jun-26-2012 15:51

I think the analogy goes along the lines of beating a dead horse can occasionally get you somewhere.

Thank you all for the congrats. It was pure luck that Tom was the ONLY bet I made on this morning's draw. I bet a lot, but I lose a lot, too. This was a pleasant surprise! And so sorry you missed him, Jason. He'll be back, but I think it'll be a while. And on a side note, Cograts, Secret Squirrel on finishing your VH!
