I am amazed at the number of old POS's at the race track who refuse to buy a program and simply play numbers or who the favorite is. I watched one guy today at Monmouth Park talking to himself nonstop and when I got near the televisions he asked me if the program was doing me any good. I replied that if you are playing the races without a program, you shouldn't be betting since you have more money than brains. He proceeded to give me a rant about his grandfather who won millions just playing numbers and never used a program.
I walked away since I didn't want my sneakers to get covered up in bullshit. He continued to talk to himself hoping someone would pay attention to him which didn't happen. I guess this is the state of the union now in horse racing and I should get used to it.
