I went to the dog track/poker romm with cat5cane!

Credit should be given where credit is due, if rocketplayer influenced the way that the Greek made his picks then he should be credited with it....Who knows, maybe rocketplayer will get a CBS contract.

Rocket never once said he influenced or gave any advice to Jimmy on anything... he said he sat with the guy. He stated the point that just because you are great at one variation of gambling doesn't mean you will be good at others. He brought up Jimmy as an example saying that the guy was a machine at handicapping football but that he was terrible at the horses.

Of course this isn't the first time that Crapshoot has gone out of his way claiming someone said something that they never did... that is what the vast majority of his (cough)"debates"(cough) are based on.

This is the point where you should stand up and apologize for badgering someone about something that they never even came close to insinuating but I'm sure there is a better chance of hearing a comment such as "Wow, now Fink is saying he influenced rockets opinions which in turn were passed on to Jimmy!"

And this proves what? I said I played sat with him at Aqueduct and Belmont some 30 years ago almost. Actually around 1983-1990.

The man was a wonderful person who was destroyed by a comment that was branded racist when he was anything but, IMHO.

And


Wow, I now must confess it was Fink , passing his knowledge through me, the rocketplayer, that so influenced Jimmy's opinions which in turn were passed on to millions on NFL Today!"

Thanks Fink for coming to my support, you are a friend indeed and usually set the record straight.

See now he's dragging Fink into it!

It's kind of like Al Gore inventing the internet!

If the Greek were still alive, he wouldn't know you from the floor sweeper, instead of saying,"oh yea, the rocketman used to sit in my box with me and we would handicap the races together"

maybe it was like Hillary ducking bullets...you just got it mixed up because you were tired and it was really shoeless Joe that you were talking about!

+30 yrs ago, can u count son? it is 2008 last time i checked. So u meant to say 35 to 40 yrs. ago but u just forgot right?Or did u mean to say 25 to 30 yrs? The greek was on his death bed in the early 90s so dont tell me u were at the track with him, get off the drugs and sober up kid, enough of the fantasy lets talk reality

No prob rocket.

Dontcha just love it when they are on the ropes grasping at straws? (happens often enough that the entertainment value is dropping a bit though).

Not going to comment on my previous post fellas? Crapshoot? cat? gimme? No? Figured as much

If the Greek was senile, not a lock given his age if he was alive, I slightly think he would know me given I prepared a financial plannign profile for him for which I was paid.

Guys, grow up and get a life. You'd be interns in my office making $11 a hour and with your attitudes and respect for people likely fired inside a week.

Enjoy your run at poker while it lasts because it will not last forever. As for your attitude, hopefully that won't last forever either, because unlike you, I don't wish you ill will and hope you become decent indivuduals before those attitudes meet up with the wrong person IRL because it won't be pretty.
