Unhappy

I think my new years resolution is going to have to be to show something like the faith that Mav shows his horses. Absolutely kicking myself right now!!! Kadazan, the horse which won the last in Sydney at HUGE odds was believe it or not, one of my blackbookers today. He had actually had two unplaced runs since I put him in the blackbook in late November, but you really should give a horse 3 runs before you discard them. Anyway, I sat here just watching the huge odds on the screen not being able to decide if I should back it or not. Funny thing is if it had been 10-1 or something, I definitely would have backed it, but at 100-1, I didn't even end up putting a dollar each way on it. I did put it in a couple of any2s and got a little bit out of it that way, but right now, I just can't believe that I had a great chance to back a $132 winner and didn't. How dumb. This isn't the first time this has happened. I missed out on a 70-1 shot in similar circumstances, simply because I pay too much damn attention to the odds of the horse.
