Interesting experience with people enjoying your failure

[backbreaker]

Okay. There is a forum that I'm a member of which isn't this one. It's horse racing related. I go there from time to time to talk about all things that are horse racing and to add what I can when it's revelant

I don't have to tell anyone here my mannerisms, I've been here too long to have to talk about that. i'm helpful when I can be, I might make a whitty comment when I can, but more imporantly, I back up everything I say with an experience or something that can be validated.

let me get to the point. Today was one of the biggest races of the year, the Traver's Stakes, which happened to have the Kentucky Derby winner in it, Street Sense.

I'm not a big street sense fan. I won't get into it here, this is not the time nor the place.

However, I commented that I didn't like the horse, posted at least 10 reasons WHY I didn't like him, and who I liked in the race (sightseeing)


Now come today, ovbiously sightseeing didn't run his race.

I open my PM box and I have at least 5 spiteful pm's from women on the forum talking about how they are so happy I lost now I can "shut up with my nonsense"

exactly... when they are proving their ignornace, because if they run that race 20 times and they take street sense at 1/4 every race and I take sightseeing at 9 to 1 every race, let's see who comes out ahead at the end of the day, which was my entire point. SS is a better horse, but he's not 1/4 better, and Sightseeing wasn't 9 to 1 bad either.


The forum is mostly ran by women, which is an oddity in itself. very knowledgable people, however very few know anything about handicapping a race (which I see) and the difference between picking the BEST horse and the most LOGICAL horse. 2/3 times they aren't the same horse.

I had a woman call me a fool, another call me an *******, she told me I was being rude, then when I told her that I would paypal her 50 dollars to show me where, she went back and edited the post!

I could care less what they think about me. it's a damn forum for crying out loud. however because it's a forum wiht at least 70% women (Again.. so damn odd) it's a...different atmosphere. as you can see, you can forget using facts to try to win an arguement. they hold no weight.

I made a 1200 word post breaking down the race, and I get a 10 word response calling me illogical.

I think more than anything it's resentment. for what I have no idea. I've never done anything to these broads. However they know I'm young, they hvae no idea how successufl or unsuccessful I am, that's not the place for that talk. However it's one of thoose things that if you don't go along with the consensus (That is usually off base) you are an *******

 

[Last Man Standing]

Yes, it is odd! Have you considered that maybe it's a forum by insiders to influence the betting public??

Nonetheless,this is a lesson in life, those who go against the consensus are always chastised!! Everybody loves a winner until they lose!!

 

[ChrizZ]

no offense, but who cares if some b!tches on a horse racing forum called u an a$$?

 

[backbreaker]

I didn't say I cared, I said it was an interesting experience. which It is.

I actually learn just as much about how women socialize together as I learn about horses. it's VERY different than what goes on here

if one of them tried to make a post about anything related to dating, there non factual gibberish would get tossed out as soon as they hit refresh

however there it's the norm. posts filled "I LOVE THIS HORSE" and "he's SO GREAT" AND "He's AMAZING"


and when you throw out an actual FACT, like the very LOGICAL fact that street sense until earlier today, has not won a race within 3 months of each other, the fact that he has not won anything higher than a Grade 2 outside of Churchill downs and I can go on and on.. not gibberish, you are an *******.

 

[typical]

Your an asshoile for proving the fact your smarter then they are and showing that your more successful at picking horses then they are ......... get used to it its chicks bro they love to hate you.

Last week, about 3 days before the pacific classic I told everyone on the forum to run to the ticket counter and put everything they could on Student Council, he was the best horse in the race. I thought he would go off at 9 to 1.. he went off at freakin 24 to 1.Needless to say I hit a nice lick.

And all I got in response was "I hope you weren't too busy with your GF to cash a ticket"

but when I am wrong? Damn, the celebration music comes on, the party hats come on, free drinks on the house... you name it

 

[Bible_Belt]

I don't think it's a gender thing. It's a loser thing. You are dealing in an area in which I imagine most participants lose. People cope with being losers by finding someone to feel above. I was once delivering newspapers to a convenience store, and I saw a couple of $5/hr clerks who thought they were super heroes, because they were calling the cops on a homeless guy who was in their parking lot. They loved feeling above that homeless guy. Probably more to spite those a55hole clerks than anything, I bought him a beer and convinced him to run into the woods so he could drink it before the cops arrived. Loser behavior is trying to find someone more down than yourself and laugh at their failure to make yourself feel better about being a loser.

people hate success because it makes them look in the mirror.

I remember last Monday actually, I went to del mar to cash my online win ticket (I just figured out I odn't have to wait 3 days to get a check in the mail, hell all Socal tracks have a window deciated for online wagering because both are owned by california compaines) and there was this guy just poundering along, and this is a full 24 hours after the race

The cashier looked at my ticket and gave me a "good job".. it was a nice ticket to say the least. I had to sign the dam IRS forms and all and the guy, I suppose overheard me talking, and he said "what, you put that much money on your birthday? No one could have possibly had figured that horse!!! you are soo lucky"

hell, I was thinking the night before how i the hell could someone with 2 eyes and an IQ over 100 NOT at least have him FIGURE in the race. no bud long shot of the day, no sleeper picks.. nothing.

I screamed to the top of my lungs for anyone that could hear,, I knew it was going to be a lick of epic porportions. People in SoCal are so obcessed with SoCal racing they think they are better than anyone else, when in reality, they are miles behind New York and the midwest as far as talent, and the fact that an 80k claimer came in and wiped the floor with a 4.5 Million dollar earner (with every dime of it earned in the state of california), proves my point

very very good post.

funny sorta update: I tried to log in to respond to an email and I found out I can't because i'm on an 3 Day ban for "baiting someone into an arguement".

this "baiting" was me coming home from the gym, and a woman calling me a stupid snobbish ******* in a public forum, telling me how happy she was I was wrong and me responding. 6 other people pointed it out as well, it's pretty ovbious.


alot of people don't understand about what I do, ist hat you have to have the utmost confidence in your abilties at all times. it's not an option. you have to believe in yourself when the entire country is going for one horse and you aren't.

it's why I perfer to keep to myself and an extremely select few. alot of people add garbage to your life. I dont' understand how a place with so many knowledable people aobut a passion can have such a deep rooted, I dont' know, dislike for someone who actually in a way looks up to them.

Also, I have learned that the meaner people are towards me for some reaosn, the more emotional responses I get, the more in the grand sheme of things I'm right or on the path to being right. People don't throw tirades against Loser Joe blow who gets lucky every once in a while in life and is an awww shucks kinda guy.

ah well, it is what it is, I'm on my way to the beach

I like your passion for the sport.

I remember spending a lot of time at philadelphia park as a kid because my dad liked to bet the pony's. I used to just sit in the mini arcade they had and play mrs pac-man all day. That place looks so nice now, they spent a ton improving the place and making it look real nice,

 

[swifTy]

yeah backbreaker that is pretty much what i would expect from people these days. fukkin losers mate. i totally wouldn't even give them a second thought. you know your on the up and up. keep lookin up jealous, envious peeps who can only feel good when someone falls down.

mr elor and bible belt- good breakdown there.

 

[backbreaker]

man I wouldn't bet philly park with someone else's bankroll.. that's themost corrupt race track in america, along iwth suffolk and finger lakes.

ONe leading trainer was tested not too long ago and had 65% of their horses come up positive for illegal drugs

One trainer got busted for cocaine... in the horses

the stewards will disqualify anything that they want when they want for no reason than they want to

it's not a very consistant track.


You haven't seen a racktrack until you've been to Churchill Downs. Trust me.


and yes I've very passionate about the sport. Very very passionate, which is the only reasont his has somewhat gotten under my skin. **** the broads. i wanna talk horses and I can't because of some cvnt who hasn't had **** in I dont' know how long wants to play I like you so much I Hate you with me.

 

[Michele l'Arcangelo]

now you know what wyldfire felt like.

 

[Nighthawk]

Women will often pick fights with ****y men. They could have simply not pmed you, and ignored you like women do to men they aren't attracted to.

I emailed the mod.. who is a woman as well, and I asked her why didn't I get a warning, a PM, or anything. as long as I have been a member there, i've never gotten one PM from her, no public warning, nothing.

the thing about it is, it really is an industry laden site.. a LOT of breeders, a couple of trainers, owners, some fans of the sport. The cnvt that started this whole ordeal with me would has beenf inding little things to pick on me about for 2 months, all of which I paid no attention to. yesterday I actually responded, and I get banned and put on public display for disrupting the process of the board. I understand the fact that there are alot of seirous things going on.. people are making arangements on who to breed to, some important races are coming up, very important, however,, I DIDN'T START ANYTHING.

there is one poster who turns everything I say into a sexual induendo, yet she isn't banned, and because I'm the perosn who she reffers to, I am grouped in as being the cause of the matter. What kinda **** is that. I'm banned for being attractive

I'm not banned for life, and she ended up banning eveyrone for 3 days who was involved and even said in the post where she told eveyrone we were banned (yeah) that I was the lowest case of them all, but however, everyone else got warnings and i didn't. hell, that's like being suspended from school because a guy c omes and suker punches you and you defend yourself.

regardless, on a similar note, this exact reason is why I'm starting my own forum regarding horse racing. I have too many damn opinions to keep bottled up and this is freakin killing me.

That makes complete sense. Everything in Philly is corrupt!

 

[strong like bull]

two things a lot of us, probably including yourself, have learned the hard way:

1.) women are such emotional beings that a lot of times logic just goes out the window. can't argue reality with someone ignorant to facts.

2.) jealous people will try to bring you down to their level. at the drop of a hat they will talk **** about you or stab you in the back.

people are jealous. people are scared. the goal to becoming a true man or "dj" is to push past all the jealous losers, symps and scaredy cats and boldly make your mark in life. the ability to say "**** YOU!" and take whats yours. as obviously simple as it sounds... rising above is the only way to truly come out on top.

Ah the lulled green of envy. Have to give it to people who can't acknowledge and learn from the decisions they've made because that is the root of growth.

Young brother Backbreaker, I follow your posts because you've always gained something from your losses and you're helpful by posting those.

SHouldn't this go under anything else forum?
