Therefore, you need to talk to someone at City Hall, maybe the Parks & Rec Dept in particular. Because that's private property and not a state-owned Fishing Access Site - and the decision to limit that waterbody to no motorized vessels was the city's - Fish & Game would have nothing to do with if/when there's boat testing opportunities at that site. Neither would Dispatch. If nothing else, maybe try contacting someone with the Walleyes Unlimited chapter in MC. They have had a lot to do with that site recently; maybe if they don't know they can encourage the City to set something up.ocneWed, 22 May 2013 03:33:13 UTChttp://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/304175/#304211http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/304175/Can anyone tell me when the boat testing day is out at spotted eagle?

I studied the racing forum, and placed my bets with diligence and care. And promptly lost my ass. She picked the horses that "wore" the prettiest colors, and she walked out with $700 more than she had when we walked in. That day drove me nuts for years, but it just proves that betting on horse races should only be done with money you can afford to lose. I still enjoy placing a bet or 2, but it's more about the fun and cold beer for me these days. There is still very little in sport that compares to the excitement of horses thundering down the stretch towards the finish line. Bets placed or not.Mathew SchmitzMon, 6 May 2013 19:53:38 UTChttp://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302677http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302665Wrong, wrong, wrong.

The only guys that win are the ones who run the game. On the other point, for the dedicated gambler that's probably true because they pick their battles. I had a conversation yesterday with an acquaintance who is a dedicated gambler (sports, horses, etc.). Every time I see the guy, he has his hands full of racing forms. I asked him if he made any money on the Kentucky Derby and he said no, that he hasn't bet it in years.."Too many horses". So for the unsophisticated wagerers who only dabble betting on the spectacles, the only way to win big dough is catch the lightening bolt.OddjobMon, 6 May 2013 17:25:04 UTChttp://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302652http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302633[quote]but I do know the odds don't mean Jack.

No. I didn't, but it wouldn't have made any difference. I follow horse racing as much as I follow the NBA, but I do know the odds don't mean Jack. You bet the story, the jockey or your favorite color and you probably stand the same chance of winning as the guys who sit in the casinos all day pouring over racing forms. In the 2009 Kentucky Derby, you had the story of "Mine that Bird", a $10,000 horse. His owner, sporting a cast on a broken foot, loads the animal up in a horse trailer in New Mexico and drags him 1200 miles behind his pickup truck to Churchill Downs. On top of that you get the jockey, Calvin Borel, 50-1 odds and a whole gaggle of Saudi princes who had million $$$ horses entered. How can you NOT bet that?OddjobSun, 5 May 2013 17:43:17 UTChttp://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302548http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302534I was hoping that the blistering pace set out of the gate might hurt some of the favorites. That didn't happen. Frac Daddy looked to be in pretty good shape, and in a pretty good position, until the backstretch. Still a little surprised that Orb was able to come back from nearly still in the barn on the backstretch. That was a very impressive late run.Mathew SchmitzSun, 5 May 2013 16:04:57 UTChttp://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302534http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302533Frac Daddy is no Spokane.Amorette AllisonSun, 5 May 2013 15:58:21 UTChttp://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302533http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302530You do realize Frac Daddy has never set foot (hoof?) in Montana, right? :lol:Bob L.Sun, 5 May 2013 15:51:06 UTChttp://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302530http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302529Yeah. $15 bucks in the tank.

Not gonna happen for me today. But just so you know, my bet would be $5 across the board on Frac Daddy. I just saw he's at 22 - 1. I wish the odds were actually longer, but since I am just a spectator today, I guess the odds don't really matter to me or my wallet.

How could Frac Daddy drop to 15 - 1 if only that little bit of money had been bet so far? Are that many Montanans placing bets, driving the odds down? Is that how it works? When the real money gets dropped on other horses, those odds should climb back to well over 30 - 1? Am I even close with my thinking?Mathew SchmitzSat, 4 May 2013 16:15:57 UTChttp://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302393http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302369Yup, he's down to 15-1. I looked at the betting pools, not much has been bet yet. Only about $240,000 in the win pool so far. http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20130503/SPORTS08/305030162/Kentucky-Derby-2013-Early-bettors-like-Revolutionary-Goldencents-best-w-Oaks-Derby-double-payoff-potential-Derby-future-wager-payoffs- I expect Frac Daddy's odds to go up today as the real money flows into the parimutual pools. He's a good bet at anything 30-1 or higher. He's had some health problems. His best performances have been at Churchill, where he broke his maiden last year by over 9 lengths. Worth a flyer, stranger things have happened. I won't be on him today, but good luck to anyone who bets him! :)Bob L.Sat, 4 May 2013 13:22:45 UTChttp://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302369http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302354His odd were 15:1 by the 10:00pm news.MRHSat, 4 May 2013 06:05:09 UTChttp://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302354http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/302324/#302335Instead of $10 to win, $5 across the board (win, place and show) for a total bet of $15 is probably the way to go.
