I made my first bet at Saratoga Race Course at the age of 6 years old. The problem with starting with a winner is gambling gets its hooks in you. (And oh, how there have been hooks upon hooks in the decades since.) I’ve spent years covering sports, betting, horses and poker, and after hundreds of missed exactas, busted parlays and broken flush draws, I’ve learned a fundamental truth about gambling: I’m due. That heater is absolutely right around the corner.
