          I'm thinking of writing a tip. My past tips have not gone so well, they don't get a lot of views or votes and the votes are not so great, I don't think the tip is all that bad. I think a tip should be be a short bit of experience you can offer, not a full article. What are your thoughts? What makes a good tip?

          The horse needs to win otherwise it's not a good tip. Having decent odds helps too, I'm not going to bother at evens even if it's an almost dead cert.

            I multiply the tax by 2 and round up to the nearest dollar.

                                Actually, I'm a bit mental... I'm a mentor everywhere. People look to me as an example (what kind of example is totally dependent on the situation).
