Gambling attracts all types of personalities. Some have a great deal of class and some have no idea what class is all about. This happening was the perfect end to a gambler with no class.
Casino sports books are filled with an interesting melting pot of people. In this particular sports book there was a fellow that only played chalk horses. When they won about a third of the time, he would yell at the top of his lungs, "Who didn’t know that" Every horse player knows that playing favorites all of the time is a sure way to lose money. His constant yelling about some 6 to 5 win was getting on all the other horse players nerves and when he was asked to cool it he just refused to do it and yelled even louder on the next even money favorite that won for him. His yell, was always the same, "Who didn’t know that"
One very bright horse handicapper put the hammer to him one day when a situation that he had been waiting for came about. Mr. Obnoxious was yelling before the race about a horse that he stated had no chance of losing. It could not lose. The race unfolded just as he thought it would with his chalk horse in front coming into the stretch. Then a horse that the superior handicapper liked made his move, at the 16th pole the two horses were running neck and neck. As they got closer to the finish line the favorite got short legged and the 12 to one shot moved out in front to stay. The race ended with Mr. Obnoxious bemoaning the fact that his sure thing lost due to the jockey and that the other horse must have been doped up. Then at the top of his lungs the horse player that had wagered on the 12 to one shot, yelled as loud as he could, "Who didn’t know that" The punters seated in the little area that the horse players used for handicapping, began to laugh out loud until the whole room filled with laughter. "Who didn’t know that" they began to chant. Mr. Obnoxious left and never returned to the room where he got verbally spanked. If someone wanted to get a laugh after that, all they had to do was yell "Who didn’t know that’, as the race ended.
