simple translation of my predictions/"bets"
1829 -4 means I "win" if 1829 wins by 5 runs or more...I might want to change this choice though
Playing the field +4 means I "win" if they lose by 3 or less or straight out win
12 Step/Below Us : PUSH at a -1 means I think that Below Us will win by 1 run, in a gambling situation you can't try for a push but it can happen and you don't lose or win. This is why spreads tend to have a .5 in them to avoid pushes.

Using Walsh's example... If 1829 has six boyfriends and Your Mom only has one, Walsh wins... if 1829 only has six boyfriends and Your Mom has two, Walsh loses. It's all about the difference between the number of boyfriends... Oh, and by the Your Mom's a w.hore... BOO! Now, if Walsh has five boyfriends, that's a completely different calculation! |

This is by far the best explanation of ANYTHING I have ever heard.
I move that all units of everything now be changed to "boyfriends".
