Default Brag: I went to Saratogga Horse Races

Brag: I went to Saratogga Horse Races

Beat: I spent over 500 betting horses. I didnt win anything.

TR.
I thought i would bet one decent horse for 50 say a 5-1 or 4-1 than a fairly long shot for 50 say 8-1 to 12-1 and put 20 on a long shot think 15-1 or higher. Dont think it was good cause i didnt win anything in five races. One race in particular i had horse 10 who was 3-1 and horse 12 a 10-1 both for 50 and well im watching the finish line and i see horse 12 in the lead all the way im like hell yeah. well then all of a sudden i see horse ten charging im like [censored] i want 10-1 on my money not a mesely 3-1 well with my luck they announce unofficialy its horse 10 so i go to collect my moneys and in the photofinish its actually horse 5 that inches over the line ahead of ten. WTF Badbeat? I can never close the deal

Brag: i felt balla betting 50s while friends betting 3 and 5 dollars
Beat: I dont know how to do all those trifectas and boxes and all that. Just straight up for the win.
Variance: If the horses name could be associated with poker it was bet on by me. The first race i saw a horse named Hopehopehope, I instantly thought of the phrase "just one time, please, just one time".

Conclusion; Arent ppl supposed to win their first time at the track, this is why i brought the monies!
