It was my first day at the racetrack
would you believe I won, twenty five
hundred dollar from a straight exacta.
But then I came back the next day and
even double what I won, this continued
on for about a month, I won every time
I went back,never lost .
But I didn't stop my last time I put in fact
everything I had,five thousand dollars on
a favorite to win ,he lost so did I.
But I didn't go home I didn't want to face
anyone yet,so I return too the racetrack
and discovered what was known as the
bookie, a person I could take loans out
to bet on a race,of course I won he told
me he let me go and double it and I did.
But unfortunately the horse never left
the gate I was out ten thousand dollars
and a very long debt to pay it took me in
fact my own coin collection I had to pay
off my debt, an entire collection gone .
You start gambling know your limit if you
are not winning stop take a break but if
you continue to lose stop completely bet-
ting can be a problem you have too know
when too stop or limit yourself on how in
fact much you can spend,horse racing is
a sport, it is the fastest race in two minute
and then sport of kings dont ruin it by just
thinking you can win, you can win nine out
of ten times,but its that tenth time you need
to stop if you keep losing .
