No, actually I'm not really like that Mo.
However, there is one guy at the club where I go who bets on pretty much every single gallops race that's run. He is a total compulsive gambler. He just can't let a race go by without betting on it. Most of the time he's an absolute basketcase, swearing and yelling and throwing his losing tickets all over the place. The thing is that the way he bets, he can't really expect to win very often, but he acts as if he should win every single race. He never bets on favourites. Okay, I can understand that, but then when the favourite wins, he carries on as if he's been terribly hard done by, even if he's bet against an odds-on chance. As for trifectas, that's totally amazing. Most of the time, he actually picks out trifectas in order. In other words, he puts just one horse for first, one for second and one for third... and believe it or not, he expects to win!!! The other day, he got 1st, 3rd and 2nd and was saying how unlucky he was. I felt like saying "no, you're just incredibly STUPID!!!"
