     That's Happy Halloween from Handicapping Harness..This year The Estimator is going out as a stooper and I (Clocker) am going to be a 10%er....$2DaD2$ is gonna be a loser......Have a great day Handicapping Harness on Halloween...Good Luck!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY $$2DAD2$$...

     Last but not least for Jug Day...is the ol'e Grinder's 85th Birthday....another milestone along the many miles...we just got back from a Birthday Dinner...and as soon as we got back...$2 made a bee-line to his computer room....he is doing remarkably well  despite the CKH,(his heart was trotting so they put in a pacer) Legionnaires Disease and CKD, which has recently put him into dialysis...but all that aside...he is not too bad....except for that inadvertent $560 bet which won him a new fridge....lol....$560 Dad....Happy Birthday!

I've Won a Major Award!

Well, this is one for the books. I've won a trip for two, from Bodog, to the Pacific Classic at Del Mar this weekend, in a contest I didn't even know I was entered in (or I forgot about it?). Ayway, the trip is airfare, room for two nights, $500 visa gift card, free entry and a free table at the track clubhouse with free food and beverages and limo transportation to and from the airport and track. Bodog has already booked the flights and hotel and the Wife and I leave Saturday morning. Looks Like I'll be Handicapping Thoroughbreds this weekend, along with my usual, Handicapping Harness!

     Just thinking about the stooper I knew at Northville Downs some 20-30 years ago...he did it on a part time basis and consistently found cashers on the floor or tables...He said that the Clubhouse tables were the best because many parties used to be scheduled at the track back in the day and most of the people did not know much about how betting worked...his biggest catch was 6k on two trifecta tickets left at the same table...

Another Shot at the NHHC....

Have a Nice Memorial Day

     It has been pretty busy over here at Command Central in Livonia Michigan...with Harness Racing in full swing I hardly have to squeeze in a couple or 3 naps or so...What's happening?...I think I can make my trial with raceuwin at the end of the month...and guess what...I am not going to try out the other 2 or 3 ADW's I had in mind...I will spell out my reasons soon in June..(more in the continue reading section below)

Rebating....

     I am trying out another ADW (Advance Deposit Wagering)...RaceUwin.com based in Oregon....from April 23 through April 30 my total rebate amounted to $117.61 based on the total wagered amount of $2528 for a hefty 5.5% return...If I had wagered that amount at the tight ass Twin Spires site the same handle would of resulted in a meager return of $5.05....if this figure was expanded to a month...my rebate from RaceUwin could be about $475...and $25 from the Twin....and believe me...I am not a big bettor....(continued below in the continue reading section)
