Found a PS3 horseracing game, booyah!!

[Sheik]

As soon as it gets here I'll check and see if there's online play. I bought it from amazon and there weren't many details. Only review I found for it was by an admitted idiot when it came to horse racing which was very helpful. If you enjoy WoW, you're probably a ***gy geek and I have no use for your opinions.

Game still hasn't arrived. I am running my first race in the virtual horse racing game tomorrow morning.

 

[Sheik]

I ran 2nd by 2 lengths. The horse wasn't ready, but I was getting restless and wanted to run something. I claimed the horse for $16.00 and it mades $4+ by runnning 2nd. I think I'll turn a nice profit on this horse over 10 or so races.

This is the game you bought?

 

[Cythim]

so you pay real money to buy the horse and earn real money if he wins? Or is that like winning at poker on facebook?

 

[Cythim]

nevermind, i finally bothered to read the rest of the thread.

The PS3 game has not shown up. Fuck amazon UK. Just left them a shit review.

The game I've been talking about is a real risk reward real money game.

That's what I'm saying. lol

Is that good or bad?

 

[Sheik]

I have 60+ horses now, bitches. There was a big auction during this last week.

 

[Cythim]

i dunno what OTB means

 

[Sheik]

Off track betting. Satellite races is how they were always presented to me.

Depends on your point of view.

You can travel over there at any time of year and see the same 10-12 guys camped out in the parking lot waiting for the doors to open. They're lifers. Their whole world revolves around betting on horses.

It's a place where you can watch and bet on horse racing from all across the country.

Years ago you actually had to go to the track to bet. Now they have these convenient OTBs.

Of course you don't actually have to leave the home to bet these days, but most of the horse players I know are older guys who don't know a thing about the internet. So they all congregate at the OTB every. damn. day.

It's like a bingo hall. You can cut the cigar/cigarette smoke with a knife.

 

[Cr122]

I have an OTB two blocks from me.

It's packed everyday.

There are at least two OTB's in Fresno. One is the actual Fresno Fair Grounds where there is only live racing during the fair, the other is Club One Casino.

I usually go to the Fair Grounds. But yeah, there are 5-6 black dudes that are there every.single.time. I go, which tells me one thing, they are there everyday. It cracks me up cause they play $0.10 trifectas and superfectas all day. Every once in a while you'll catch em at the window happy as hell.

"Gimme dat Dolla Fitty Son!!!"

Still waiting patiently for the PS3 game to be delivered.

And by patiently I mean I'm sending Sergio emails daily and leaving harsh comments on their seller feedback page. It makes me feel better.

Well, if anything you just inspired me to never order from that company.

 

[Sheik]

I don't know who Sergio is, that was intended to be a different word and my iPhone changed it to 'sergio'.

I don't even remember what it was supposed to say. I guess it fits if Sergio is the name of the guy that shipped my package.
