  WannaBe: <penguincw> Think for the main event, I'm gonna take Exaggerator. Let's see how race 11 turns out for me.

  WannaBe: Think horse 11 came in second, could cash in another semi-ticket, on that $12 total bet. Definitely will take Exaggerator for the main event.

10 came in fourth, otherwise another small tix to cash. Oh, wait, there's a stewart inquiry... Who bumped who?

  WannaBe: $16.60 total pay for place and show on number 11, $4.40 "profit" on that race... How we'll go all in with $5 across on Exaggerator! =)

  WannaBe: Won $9 on Exaggerator, net net, spend about $60 for the day.

  Penguincw: Well, looks like if I did put down money, I'd lose $2.40 on the day. But hey, the Raptors win 95-91 on the road to take a 2-1 series lead. Hoping for a 3rd straight year where only the top 2 seeds from each conference make it to the conference finals.

  WannaBe: Stupid bloody Win10, the calculator app works fine on my desktop, but today I am on my laptop, and the calculator app just refuse to open...

  WannaBe: Penguins 3, Caps 0... Not lookin' too good for the 2016 Presidents Cup winner.

Good. If the Caps can get the Pens eliminated, then Crosby should join Team Canada in the IIHF to help them out (though there's also Malkin).

EDIT: Just checked now, biggest shock on my face after seeing my favourite American NBA team, the Spurs, blow the lead vs. the Thunder. :O

  WannaBe: Bonus hockey from Pittsburgh!!!

Now, the winning goal will be scored less than 4 minutes into OT, off a bounce from the board, and a defenceman caught off position or from a line change.

I just don't know which team will score it. =))

  WannaBe: Down goes Caps, down goes Caps. Another Presidents Trophy winner goes home without the Cup.

Winning goal was scored 6:32 into OT. I was off in my prediction, shoot, crap, doggone it...

  Penguincw: Down goes Stars! They got 20 minutes to rally down 5 goals. Don't see it happening.

Thanks to the Jays, the Dodgers currently have a half game lead over the Giants. However, the Dodgers haven't played their game yet today. Gonna be a good matchup. Tomorrow, an even greater matchup: Colon vs. Kershaw! Both pitchers have a career total of 1 homerun.

  WannaBe: I don't see Stars making a come back down 5, unless Blus commt a really stupid 5-minute major and the goalie gets pulled for the whole 5 minutes.

  WannaBe: OK, Stars got a goal, only 4 more to go to force OT...

  WannaBe: GPRO closed today at $8.82, back in Oct. 2014, the stock was trading at $93.85.

That's right, ninety three dollars and eighty five cents. That's not a typo, it's worth have dropped approx. 92%

TWTR closed today at $14.08, back in Dec. 2013, it was trading at $73.31. Ugh!!

(I don't own any of these two stocks directly, I hope my retirement account portfolio don't either...)
