Nine years old? He's getting a late jump. Most handicappers have been betting for 10 years by the time they are nine. At least that's what thier radio ad said right after they promoted a ten-team, 5-star, super lock parlay. :cool:

My indoctoration into gambling happened when I was 9-10 years old. My mother use to take us to the harness track ( Batavia Downs) and we would run bets for her and her friends. This was back in early 70's and I still can not believe that was only a few times that the tellers even blicked twice. I could key and wheel a trifecta bet before I had pubes.

true story

In the healthy childhood that I had, when my grandmother "babysat" me it was usually at the track, Ellis Park. I learned more about math at the track than I did in elementary school. ALgebra was a cake when I looked at it like odds. 8-1 means 8x + x = return amount where x is the amount of your wager. When we didn't go to the track we usually played poker.

I didn't know that you had to be 18 to wager until I was 16. I guess they decided that I was betting for myself at that time.

Damn, I miss Kentucky!
