Affiliate Marketers Race to the Finish

Last weekend, James Martell invited me out to his annual horse racing lunch party held at the Private Skybox At Hastings Park. Not only did I meet some new people but I also had a great time catching up with affiliate marketers who attended the last Affiliate Marketers Alliance Networking dinner. The picture on the right is of James & I. At this point, I think James was up a few dollars betting on the horse races. Notice all the monitors behind us simulcasting horse racing from all over North America? Wow!

Because we were in the VIP Skybox, there was a private teller taking bets in the suite itself. In fact, there was even a personal betting instructor on-hand providing rules and instructions. I finally know the difference between Win, Place and Show! I have heard all the terminology before but did not really understand them. Now, I know the difference between an exactor and a triactor and what it means when you box them!

Betting on horse racing is really all about statistics. After learning all the different possible betting methods, I now see why loyal customers return to the track every weekend.

Thanks to James for the invite and to Todd for all the prizes! Here are a few photos I took from the day. Do enjoy!
