"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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.
