I am a small time gambler, who started out at the dog track of Wheeling WV. Playing the dogs and horses there, and then going to the "The Greyhound Lounge", across the street. Where they had a stinky, smoke filled, back room with a full chalkboard of games/odds. You put your bet on a little piece of carbon copy paper, and the old guy stationed there smoking his cigar and smelling like whiskey would take your money, and rip of the carbon bottom of the paper, for your receipt. Now, I mostly do sports only. The one exception is Australian Horse Racing, because, even though takeout is bad, using the fixed odds in Australia they offer, you can easily figure out who has the sharp money, and who they are against. If you have decent rebates, it is winnable. Hope this thing flies and we get some more good minds in here! Thanks!
