Haha yeah i spent $50 (on a few races, not just the cup), down $25.

Probably reinvest it on Thursday.

Had my dough on Septimus in the Cup. Poor run, shocking tactics.

Had a trifecta as usual and few indivudual bets. Lost $67.

Why Aidan O'brien sent all 3 of his runners out at such a pace was stupid. At least have one of them back in the pack.

I blew $50 on the race, $68 on the Basketball and $40 on a game of poker.

Tuesday wasn't my luckiest day on record.
like my dad and my dads dad, all I can say is "West Ham for the CUP!"

Of course you gamble Red...you're a West Ham supporter!! Every match we play is a bloody lottery! :-) And if you didn't enjoy a few ups and downs you'd support a much 'safer' team (Liverpool, Man U, Chelsea...)

(For the record, I had a $7 return on a $6 outlay (office sweep). I just can't decide how Im going to spend my massive ($1) windfall!)
