I'm at the Melb track every Saturday, and love to have a few beers with my mates, my selections don't change or increase with the drink but i think sometimes it might effect the size of my wager. If i was in it solely to make a quid i'd be sitting on my computer all day comparing prices, not really my cup of tea. Besides what fun is winning of you've got no-one there to glout to or shout beer and Jimmy Wongs to after the races.
