I have been giving this thread some thought, and have decided what you did was admirable and generous, BUT. Do you realise that by helping a degenerate, trifecta betting, horse junkie like Oldfriend, you, Sickgambler, have become an enabler? Yes, an enabler, a person who helps an addict to continue his or her habit for another day. Check out AA, NA, GA, or any other 12 step program, this is not a good thing, you do more damage than good to the degenerate. I know in the past that Oldfriend has broken into his kid´s piggy banks to support his habit. Do yourself and that degenerate, trifecta box addict, Oldfriend, a favor, show some tuff love, and say no, just say no. Believe me, I know track rats like Oldfriend, they act like your friend, when all the time they are on the scam for $12 (enough for a 3 horse tri box), it´s sad, they can´t help themselves. Maybe it will help if we can get one of the Mods to change Oldfriend´s tagline to Degenerate Track Rat, this will be a constant reminder to all of us, that he needs help badly.
Your Pal, Wil.
