Well, at least my cold tri is no longer the worst suggestion.

Bet Dumbkirk to win

Bobby Fischer 03-24-2009 05:59 PM

If it were me, I'd play Dunkirk to show and set the $315 aside for a later play on the Ashland, or even the Kentucky Derby...

MISTERGEE 03-24-2009 06:11 PM

just checking are they giving you the proceeds of the bet, or the $300 back as well

What ever the wager pays, if the horse pays $6.00 to win = $900

MISTERGEE 03-24-2009 06:17 PM

ok then i would go with the show bet

Rudeboyelvis 03-24-2009 06:18 PM

I'd totally be cool with walking away w/ 320.00 and then pissing it away on P4's at Tampa :cool:

Show bet Dunkirk or QR

The Indomitable DrugS 03-24-2009 06:19 PM

Why is Dunkirk a cinch to run 3rd?

MISTERGEE 03-24-2009 06:20 PM

do we know the entries?

Payson Dave 03-24-2009 06:21 PM

lets see... betting $300 into a race where either Dunkirk or Quality Road most likely win at less than 2-1, or taking that $315 to bet a race worth betting??

Oh wait it was a fischer post , nevermind...

blackthroatedwind 03-24-2009 06:24 PM

Do you have to make one bet....or bet on only one horse?

If not, and all you really want is a few bucks to bet the other races, why not make three $100 show bets, where you will at least get some money back.

Well, it's already been determined that I've gotten really sad, so why not just throw in the towel.

The Indomitable DrugS 03-24-2009 06:36 PM

If it's any consolation - I thought you were knocking down some nice short range jumpers earlier today.

Thanks.

I thought the Swale comment was a 360 windmill slam dunk.....but then again, being as I've gotten sad and all, maybe I overestimated that one as well.

Must be a "slow" Tuesday
