Putting that into racing context, I very seldom sit with people I know/don't know that well; nor do I ever dine out or visit them off track. I'm trying to take their money and they know it. The gentleman you sat with, no doubt is a pro. He was kind to you - willing to share - very hard if not impossible IMO to find that type of person.

There is one like him that plays at Casino Rama occassionally. You can't get within 10 feet of his space; and I've seen him just get up and walk out when other players have approached him. They know he is a whale and a winner cause of the size of his bets (info gleaned from the tellers) - and he knows they are just trying to weasel a bet outta him. This guy is steely eyed and always cross looking like he's ready to take ya out - must work, as I've seen him personally walk away with MEGA dollars. Maybe he's related to my wife

HI Bobby,
This fella sounds just like the guy Ramon posted about but in a different environment. A loner, fires big, has the answers to his own questions etc.

I am very fortunate indeed to know someone like this.

Good post Bobby!
