You greet the newcomer with a lot of negativity about how F'd up the game is because of the ignorance of management, and beckon him/her to join you in a snivelfest that is supposed to change it.
When all they want to do is sip a cold bear, do a little gaming, and chat up members of the opposite sex. If you could help them do that for a while, they might develop an interest in the sport while they are at it. There are many ways of doing that, telling the newcomer that he can never win because the take-out is too high, and all of the horses are on dope, is not one of them.

You must not have noticed, JL, but not even cash-strapped Pimlico is letting your preferred recruits into the infield on Preakness day any more.
Frankly, I'm disappointed in you; eschewing legitimate criticism in favor of bogus charges you don't specify and/or qualify because you can't. If you actually knew of any novel ways to successfully recruit people capable of experiencing the joys of handicapping and/or wagering when sober, then you'd be too busy making money to bother posting on a message board where people have been dismissing your commentary since even before HANA got started.
