I set a poor example. John C. Wright thought that just being a world-famous international science fiction author meant that he could win at the ponies:
Dear Sir, having been in arrears for your offtrack betting debts to Harry’s Happy House of Horse Play, the Family has determined to bypass normal legal action and garnishments, and send a gentleman from our collection department, “Gonad-Crusher” Guido Ugnolini to pay a call on you. Mr. Ugnolini has experience in both American and Sicilian correction facilities, multiple murder raps, and a tattoo. We are confident that you will be forthcoming after receiving his attentions.
Dude. There's room for only three world-famous international science fiction authors who are also heavy-duty horseplayers: Mike Resnick, Josepha Sherman, and me. If you're going to gamble, stick to submitting your next novel to Margaret Clark at S&S.

Just for the record: In Firefox 3, the page looks great, but in IE6, the comicmix ad is blocking a large amount of text, and cannot be moved (or even clicked on). Do please delete this comment.
