< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 591 OF 749 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-05-16    WannaBe: GoPro and Twitter both getting hammered today... May-05-16    WannaBe: Blues and Stars went OT, now Predators and Sharks will go OT! BONUS HOCKEY!!! May-06-16    WannaBe: Yet another business moving out of California to Texas... http://www.sfgate.com/news/bayarea/... This article from Nov. 2015 stated 9,000 companies have moved their HQ out of California to Texas http://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/b... May-06-16    Penguincw: IIHF Championship underway, Canada defeats USA 5-1! May-06-16    WannaBe: <Penguincw> Pssssst, don't tell anyone, I heard that we're gonna take over Ottawa Sunday morning at 3AM Eastern... May-07-16    WannaBe: Horsie racing day!!! May-07-16    WannaBe: 7:15, at Burger King, Fully Loaded Croissantwich, hashbrowns, large blk coffee. Approx 700 calories, my doctor's gonna love this meal. May-07-16    WannaBe: Alright, 7:47 at Jockey Club, $2 across on horsie 6, race 2 of Churchill Downs. That Makes Sense. May-07-16    Penguincw: Ah, I see the Kentucky Derby is today. Considering the ChessBookie leg just started 2 days ago, imagine if <Switch> did a preseason, and have a bet on who would win the Kentucky Derby. That's true betting right there. May-07-16    WannaBe: First discard tix, for race 3, going $2 across on horsie 8. Another long shot, Dionysus. May-07-16    WannaBe: Second discard tix, for race 4, going with horsie 7, $2 across. No Interest. May-07-16    WannaBe: In race 5, horse in gate 3, Allied Air Raid! Gotta take that one in the next race. May-07-16    Penguincw: Did you see this video? http://bleacherreport.com/articles/... Imagine if that actually happens. May-07-16    WannaBe: Hey, they had an octopuss pickin' World Cup winners, why not puppies?! Another discard tix, race 5, Allied Air Raid is currently the betting fav, $2 across. (I usually do not bet on fav.) Boy, I'm gonna be one tired wabbit by afternoon... May not even last until halftime of the GS game tonight. May-07-16    WannaBe: Figures, Allied Air Raid led for 3/4 of the race, broke out and led for two turns... I may collect $2.20 if that third place result holds... May-07-16    WannaBe: Wow, whoopie!! Got $3.60 back on my $6 investment, just like real Wall Street. May-07-16    WannaBe: Race 6, we're halfway there to the big one, (race 12). Going with horsie 7, $2 across She's Not There. If you're old enough, you'll know/remember the song. =)) May-07-16    WannaBe: Annnnd she's not there, not even close... May-07-16    WannaBe: Race 7, going with horsie 4, Barbados, currently 14-1. But have good career record, think I saw the horse a few years ago at Breeders' Cup. 15 wins, 2 seconds, 3 thirds and 1 fourth place finishes. Not sure on the total number of career races entered... May-07-16    WannaBe: Barbados came in dead last. I sure do know how to pick 'em. Race 8, going with Kathballu, with Lee Marvin as jockey, gate 7, $2 across. May-07-16    WannaBe: Another dead last finish!!! For race 9, I'm going long shot, horse 2, Cutacorner, $2 across. May-07-16    WannaBe: Added horse 10, American Patriot in race 9, $2 across, too. Doubling up on my losses. =)) May-07-16    WannaBe: Another loooooser, for race 10, going $2 across on horsie 10. May-07-16    WannaBe: Loseville!! Man these times between the races are getting longer and longer, it was about 35 minutes with the earlier races, it's now 50 minutes. Going to do $2 across on horsies 10 & 11 for race number 11. May-07-16    Penguincw: I <would> do the same, except I'd do it for #10 Whitmore (30:1) and #17 Mor Spirit (12:1). Whitmore's jockey will be Victor Espinoza, who is looking to win his 3rd Kentucky Derby. He won the triple crown last year, and <almost> in 2014. Mor Spirit, well, it won Fallon's "Kenpuppy" Derby. I'd put money on Nyquist, but 2:1 is kinda pathetic to me. Maybe betting on him to finish top 3, sure.
