[quote name='Brak']When I was a kid, horse races were on T.V. two or three times a day, or some shit like that. My grandpa used to watch them all the time.
Of course, he was full-blooded Italian and probably bet on the horses in his mind.[/QUOTE]
My girlfriend's grandpa lives outside of Detroit, which apparently has a couple horse tracks because all that man does is bet on horses. He told me he wakes up, grabs breakfast on the way to the track, eats lunch at the track, sometimes dinner, then goes home and cooks dinner if he didn't eat before and watches horse racing talk. That is his routine 4 or 5 days a week.
I just don't get it, personally. It's fun to place bets, but to the point where it's the only thing you do...--then you end up with dry skin and arthritis--then you die.
