So I posted this in the Boonen thread a few days ago but thought it required some extra thought.
Sure gambling isn't the best vice in the world but its mine and I love having a punt on cycling races. HOWEVER....my working class dollars are continuously being screwed by riders getting done for doping. There's been too many to mention but to name a few from this year, good money on Schleck to win Fleche, he comes second to Reb, I lose my money, Reb gets busted...do you think Reb is going to repay me my money??? NOPE. Now Valverde, had him at good odds for tdf (Sure, it was a long shot but hey), now he's out and my money has vanished into the gambling website slush fund.
These guys make great money, I don't....maybe when Reb retires with his millions in the bank and a broken ego, he could put a few hundred in my bank account as a nice gesture! I'd forgive him.
Can't imagine how Schleck feels!!!! Guess its back to the horses for me.
