horse racing Yeah, Regulators and scamsters alike know is is oh soooo Gauche to blatantly fix a race. All this takes dedication, passion, and plain hard work. Just like a real job I suppose.

Lots of room to fit some of the boyz where they can earn some decent buckeroos. Prostitution, drugs and legitimate business (for money laundering purposes) is best left to the criminal classes.
