"How can I break into handicapping horse races?"
I whole-heartily embrace your decision to play the ponies. There remains no better way to make a million bucks, so long as you start with a billion bucks. Especially if you play my picks.
Start with this 'simple' three-prong attack:
- Settle on playing a single racetrack - get the story of the track. Know the riders and trainers, in particular.
- Stick with two year-olds. Overly-simply, the fastest horses are more likely to win here.
- When in doubt don't. Failing that, go with the bigger barns. They usually get the first pick of talent.
Always remember: don't bet the dough dough.
"What does 'Don't bet the dough dough mean'"
It's a reminder I leave at the end of every pick/tip sheet I post. Means: don't bet the bread money. Might also allude to an extinct bird.
"What's the difference between herring and sardines?"
Canned-wise, seeing as that's the extent of my passable knowledge: not a heckuva lot. Often they're the same fishes under a different label in a different can.
"What's the most important aspect in your cigar grading?"
So important that it near goes without saying, is construction. Without a decent draw and a cigar which remains cigar-shaped -- ya got nothing. All the nuances and complexities mean nada if you can't get to them.
Beyond that, and more a pet peeve of mine, is don't dare me to smoke. Don't flavor bomb or nicotine blast me with a nose burning and/or head spinning stick. I don't often eat steak, and when I do, I don't drown it in ketchup. Too, please do not threaten me or challenge my 'man card.' I ignore threats and if you worry about keeping yer man card -- you're a boychik.
"Can you post more pipe tobacco reviews?"
Yes. Too, I should. Lastly, I shall.
