Picks for March 27,2022

 


We've got some major changes to the 401k this week. Mainly, I got another job, and it requires that I work Saturdays. Worst of it, I can't access NYRA Bets, since they blocked such websites But, I can troll Facebook all day. Secondly, we pretty confirmed that weekday betting is a confirmed violation of Rule One. So, rather than losing money all week, we're sticking to weekends. Or it looks like Sunday only.... 

We did do a couple quick hits at Turfway Park during the week, and that went well. But I tried to blindly make a couple bets yesterday on the Dubai Cup. So, we lost what made. Here's where we are now, and here are today's picks....

How This All Started..... AKA, Wall Street Kinda Sucks

Image
  Hey, whether someone ever read or follows this is irrelevant. This is more of a diary to see day to day if this works, and to learn the mistakes I make along the way..... So, why am I here? Simple. As someone in his early 50's, who got off to a 30 year late start on saving towards retirement, I have some ground to make up. Catching up all the way is impossible, but any ground made up is ground made up..... This all started last year. Sure, I have a 401k that my last (now former) employer had the magnanimity to NOT match (the auto business sucks), but it's pretty small, and it is fully exposed to the whims of the investing public. I did finally manage to save up about triple that amount, where it sat in my bank account, earning NO INTEREST.  After figuring out that I lost about 5-$7000 by doing that, I finally did something. I sat down with a friend who always seemed to do well in the market. I soon signed up with a Vanguard Mutual Fund with $5k, and it went pretty well - for...

Stupid Reasons People Bet on Horses...

Image
                                                                      Bunny's Revenge ???? We're going to try and inject a little humor into the blog here. If this lasts, you'll see we don't take anything seriously. Plus, we have a bit of a 'voice' when we write (I had a political blog about 10-12 years ago), so we're trying to get back into that. Makes reading this a little easier.... If you've done this enough, or just watched people who know nothing about horse racing decide who to pick every Kentucky Derby Day, you know people come up with the craziest reasons for picking a certain horse. I see this every year at the Belmont. Those cigar-smoking Jason Mraz looking kids with the Fedora hat drive me up a wall.... But, they have their opinion, and they help drive up the odds on my horse, and make me more money. Th...
