you hit them well.

I’d add on to your number 3) Everything is NOT a bad beat. When your horse ran 3rd, he ran 3rd. Especially when it’s a 6 or 7 horse field.

also, When I’m watching a race and I Love the spot my horse is in, then the jackoff next to me starts rooting for the same horse... kiss of death.

G.MONEY · Nov 25, 2017

The Loud obnoxious guy who screams at the TV every race.

The person that sits and slaps his program like he is a jockey riding a horse yelling as the come down the stretch

9)....why would a guy sitting quietly bother you? Because he's watching a TV?

17)The idiot Stretch cameramans at the cheap tracks focusing on the going away winner, ignoring the exotic outcomes, making the bettor feel helpless on how to root for closers or gassed horses. PAN the camera out!

Keef · Apr 23, 2019

The guys that wear the exact same thing every time you see them.

The guys that, after the race, go on and on how they had the winning horse but got off it last minute to include leaving it out of exotics and triples.

The guys that think nothing of throwing their losing tickets all over the place as though it is their right to litter.

DesertPix · Apr 23, 2019

The guy that steps up to the teller to bet the entire card... with 1 minute to post in the 1st race!

EightCentVoucher · Apr 26, 2019

People on the self-service line that, when they get to the window, pull out their program and start handicapping!

IMISREMEMBER · Mar 19, 2022

Its hard to believe that this post is 5 years old but still holds up pretty well at todays OTB’s I have 2 more pet peeves that have made the list.
31) The Track or OTB Smell on your clothes when you come home, now most of us are trying to hide the fact we just lost $300-$400 at the track and now need a full detox hot shower to rid us of the bad energy and stench absorbed on us. This smell consists of Old Man piss & shit, cigar smoke, fried catfish, Tacos, Modelos beer, Ink, DirtyMoney, Cheap Track Food,Big Fat Dude Stench, Union, Non Union Roofer,Painter,Plumber, Construction B.O.,I throw in cock or cotton breath too.
32) The Sequential Number Player screwing the true handicapper in exotic pools. Dudes playing Pick 3’s 1,1,1 or super players 2468 who do we appreciate or the 1234 boxes 6789 boxes it’s a simple as that or the 57 Chevy exacta player or the I love doing the 69 player or the 9/11 or the Michael Jordan 23 ex, lol in Chicago anyway. Sharing the payout with these player are more common now.

IMISREMEMBER · Jul 27, 2022

33) The Clicky Clanky long finger nailed Dude on the tote machine. Come on you fuckers cut those nails, You made the list cuz you got no money on your voucher and cappers stop what their doing hoping to get a glimpse of some hot cougars ass, as she puts in her bet for the lazy husband, but to everyones suprise it’s an ugly dude with long gross finger nails clicking the tote screen.

IMISREMEMBER · Feb 27, 2023

34)You hit a signer and your jacked , your buyin the tab, tipping your buddies, cuz they got their dicks kicked in but now the the OTB teller expects a tip for doing the paperwork. “ you know we work on tips, they don’t pay us good here” this has made the list!

IMISREMEMBER · Sep 26, 2023

35) “The disgruntled winning bettor guy, or the never satisfied winning ticket guy, or simply “I should of had it for more guy” So were all getting our dicks kicked in and the seasoned pros hits the pick 3 or 4 for .50 or had the Tri for $1 or $2 or exacta for $10 and says I should of had it for more, thats all I liked, look at my program, dudes getting over a G back and rubs it in to the dime playing crowd.
