Races are great fun regardless of if you bet or not, a fantastic day out with your mates and a awesome place for singles to hook up.
I don't gamble to become rich, I do it for fun..if I have a win thats great and if I have a loss it's not the end of the world as I never gamble beyond my means.
I like the story about the 3 months of pro gambling...lol....yeah Id stop too if I had a system that won all the time, it wouldn't be fair to anyone else...lol....I got a good giggle out of that.
