Internet

[Steven Punk]

Do we have any Horse handicappers? Any books good on this subject? Can you get all the handicap info for free or do you have to pay a service?

[NoTalent]

You might get a better response in "Other Gambling Games" and if you give a more descriptive subject line.

I'm still trying to figure out this new fangled internet thing. I ordered some books on tape, but my internet is still broken all the time. I click on AOL and nothing happens. I hate broken internet.

[josie_wales]

They have the internet on computers now?!?!

Ooooooh!

Ok I will try to be more specific.

I am asking about wagering on horses on the Internet and when doing so can you get handicap information before wagering and if you can get the handicap information for free or does one have to pay for it?

The word Internet that titles this forum is general. Also my question is concerning getting information on the internet as opposed to buying a program at a track or parlor.

Are you sure this is the wrong forum to ask or do you jest?

[NoTalent]

No--I wasn't jesting. I just have read some other stuff in that forum related to other gambling like sports, dogs, and horses. This forum is labled "Internet Gambling" but the primary focus is on Poker.

[CrackerZack]

actually, if you look left, its the "internet" forum but a subset of the bullet point, "Poker". That being said, this may still be your best bet, but I'd cross post in "Other gambling" too.

man i know i've heard this.. it was on some show, possibly a cartoon, possibly the simpsons where somehow they were back in time or something..

argh.

I see you are observant and that is a refinement most welome amongst common people. Was that information confusing?

[Simon Diamond]

No. Where is your castle, or are we not worthy? /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Perhaps Simon can take you aside and refine you a little.

The internet is more than just a global pornography network you know.

Alright I see your point. I won't make fun of your brutish print and you don't make fun of my proper correspondence.

But really why use such an unbecoming term?

[Lazymeatball]

It's the episode of the Simpson's that starts with Homer getting hypnotized and going into a semi-permanent screaming fit. After days of anguish Marge brings him to a psychiatrist and Homer goes into a flashback to a summer camping trip with Lenny, Karl, and Moe. At which point Karl says the line "So have you guys heard of the internet, it's this new inner netting that goes into you bathing suite" (or something similar). Later it is revealed that Homer's screaming fit was caused by discovering the corpse of the Mr. Smithers' father, at which point Lenny says the great line "I think I just downloaded into my internet."

This concludes the Simpson's reference.

ps. Another great line from that epsiode is from a young Fat Tony who when asked if that is wacky tobaccy responds "The wackiest"

You jest with me. I talk down to no one but I do try to correspond with proper eloquence. There is plenty of barbarism running rampid on these forums why poke fun at it?

You calling me a Mary? Isn't the term for calling a man a woman "Nancy"? I don't know who you are but why would you insult someone you don't know in this manner?

[Losing all]

not an insult, a joke. yes, Nancy would be the name if I were calling you a sissy, but I wasn't. Mary comes from your large first day post total, and knowing a whole lot. Kinda reminds me of someone else, that's all.

[Steven Punk]

Mary is a person ok I understand. I've been asking questions all day so I don't know how I can be mistaken for someone that has knpwlege
