"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

It's a pretty ****ty card today with ****ty horses and huge fields, and none of these horses are getting good nods on the morning line. But I'll be putting my money on a pick three with a long shot in there somewhere, and hopefully will walk away with a profit.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Shame Backbreaker left. I had a bunch of questions for him.

Suicide, any suggestions on tracks to focus on as a newbie? Are any harder than others?

Did awful today. It happens sometimes. Churchill was so speed biased that I actually said "**** it" and switched to Santa Anita about halfway through the day. I did a bit better there, hitting a few exactas, a tri, and a $10 bet on a 50-1 longshot.

Some tracks have a bias (Churchill is one, it tends to favor speed and the inside posts) that can make them hard to pick. I have good luck at Santa Anita, Belmont and Saratoga (Saratoga is my all time favorite track). I also like Monmouth Park in NJ. But bias is variable and changes continually, so it can be hard to nail down sometime.

There aren't any certain tracks I'd suggest as a beginner, although it can be easier betting one of the more prestigious tracks (Saratoga, Santa Anita, Del Mar, Belmont) because the higher quality of competition can make the horses easier to pick.
