good work stevie
Arch it's bigger than us. I just translate.
Arch you deserve to know how 173 was born. Monmouth Park racetrack, don't remember the year. I was in my early 20's, coming out of a long thing with a younger girl. I was beat up and had bad influences. one was Bob. We both had the gambling itch. A couple fun nights at the track turned into a 4 night a week habit. On this night I went into it thinking fuck this. Horses, beat up old men what am I doing here. Just when I was about to leave I hit for $100 on a $2 bet. Not too much but enough to keep me interested. I don't remember what happened in between but not too long later there was a race at Sam houston. Simulcasting. Seventeen was always a lucky number. Needed a number to round it out so why not 3. So then 173 straight and boxed. So I'm sitting at Monmouth Park Racetrack in the bar watching the simulcasting screen. All 3 horses were ridiculous odds. The top 2 were obvious. The 3 was questionable if he got 3rd. I asked the guy next to me "Did the 3 take 3rd"? He said "I think he did". I didn't say a word. After a bit they released the results, 1, 7, 3.
$5k winner. I didn't have much money then so we took it to AC. Archie a cab to AC from Monmouth Park is about $100 each way. I had an outdoor volleyball game the next day at noon, not like an official thing as part of any system but one I couldn't miss. Rob and I played blackjack all night; like as in I had very little bit of time to get back and was on an all nighter. I dropped about $1500 of it being a drunk idiot; wekk a good portion of it was him with my money but fuck that sleeping dog I think the guy's probably dead. the ride back I was just trying to get 15 minutes in, guy wouldnt shut the fuck up. Finally got home, fingers down the throat throw up time so as not to do it at the match, people would be watching (just some locals). Then on to the game. First words out of the oppenent's mouths "boy does Steve look like shit". I was served first. Perfect set from my partner, I approach, jump and hit....nothing but net. Everyone laughed.
We went on to win two of five. I bought a car with the ramaining funds. License: UR371M. Sure not the exact combo but scary enough. And that was that.
