So I organize a GTG and like 15-20 of us go to Retama Park tonight.
And who comes out the biggest frickin' loser?
ME!!
LJ and I went there at around 3pm - and I lost approximately 50-60 bets without winning one! It seems impossible, but it's not. I lost something like $350. :(
LJ won approximately $150 to keep it respectable.
But the two women who had never been there before - Ginofan and SpursWoman - came out the big winners.
Congratulations... you guys suck :cry

I've never seen someone lose as much as Kori lost. It was amazing actually. I thought after a while she should have just gotten a prize for picking everything wrong.
And it wasn't like she kept going for impossible odds. Even straight up wins had no chance. Oh well, she gave it a good try :makeout
Together we might be the worst gambling couple ever. Seperate we are pretty decent, but when we do it as a couple we are $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ in the red.
:shootme :lol
Horry For 3!

We did OK, but I did better with the Claw Machine at Jims. 4 bucks later I walked away with 3 stuffed animals. :lol

Sequ actually wasn't even at the track.
TPark, I honestly don't mind doing whatever I do for people at the GTG's - it isn't much. Tonight, I didn't even really mind losing money -- I only bring the amount of money that I'm willing to lose, but it was just crazy. We don't go to the track that much, but when we do - it's just normally up and down. Win $20 here and there, lose some money .. but basically a wash.
Today was something unbelievable. How could I bet 50 times in a row and lose? It was to the point if anyone else in our group happened to bet the same horse as I did, they'd change their bet before the race started :lmao
Oh well. Maybe it means I'm winning big bucks next time :lol

It's Christy :)
On the very last race, I bet a $1 trifecta box on 9-5-12. When I made the bet #12 had like 5-1 odds or something, by race time it fell to 17-1. Preliminary results of that race were 12-9-5, and I'd have won $415 on that $6 dollar bet.
But the official results moved #5 to the 4th spot, so I didn't win squat. :flipoff :lol
I had fun, though... :)

You do know that on a $1 box you would only get half of what the trifecta paid out, right? Of course if $415 was half...DAMN!

wow! good job Girls!
sorry you lost so bad Kori, maybe it was just your bad luck day......
I'm glad I didn't go. I always lose when it's real $$. :lol
hey, I broke even on the last race, I was down about 20$ all night, but I finished up even!
and I had 5 hot dogs, so it wasnt all that bad!!!!

Since I ate 4 hot dogs, a few beers, a soda and was only down $40 bucks I felt like I just went to a Spurs game.

It became known as the "Kori Ellis Pick of Death". I missed the Mexican Train myself, so it happened to everyone. :lol
I enjoyed meeting Kori, LJ & everyone and had a great time. :tu
