You’re better off betting on a horse than betting on a man. A horse may not be able to hold you tight, but he doesn’t wanna wander from the stable at night.
Meaning of the quote
The quote means that it's safer to put your trust in a horse rather than a person. A horse may not be as affectionate as a human, but it's more reliable because it won't try to leave its stable at night and wander off. Horses are more dependable and less likely to let you down compared to people.
