Start off Round 11 with Saratoga Lullaby in the 5th at MTH.

CD R8 - Icy Atlantic

CD R10 - Fabulous Strike

jman, good start. No show betting on the Monmouth race, but both your picks at CD came in.

You need to re-establish the default for what happens if you have a loser in the midst of a set of picks. Automatic restart of the next round or cancel the remaining picks?

--Dunbar

ahhhh, just keep going.... :)

I'll take the 1 at MTH, R3.

Just saw this... no, I haven't. But I'll go back at the end and add it all up.

Rd 11 as it stands...

6/2 MTH R5 - Saratoga Lullaby 2nd $2.20 Running Total = $110

6/2 CD R8 - Icy Atlantic 2nd $2.10 Running Total = $116

6/2 CD R10 - Fabulous Strike WON $2.60 Running Total = $151

Not THE chuckles as in CTC from Thorograph board?? The place will never be the same again!!!


Oh well one post since July maybe he didn't like the brand of banter we have here....

Continuing Rd 12...

9/25 Fairmount Park R1 - Just Viareggio

9/25 Fairmount Park R4 - City's Honey

9/25 Kentucky Downs R1 - Predestined

9/25 Kentucky Downs R2 - Thong or Panties

9/25 Philly Park R6 - Nerve

Funny, jman, I almost started my own sequence here with Any Given Saturday in the 5-horse Brooklyn Hdcp a couple days ago, and now you show up (so to speak) after a 2-month absence.

I was surprised Belmont didn't cancel show wagering in the Brooklyn, and further surprised that AGS did not command as much of the show pool as I expected. I was expecting over 90% of the show pool to be on AGS, but it was more like 83%

Good luck with your series.

9/27 BM R8 Molly's Durango

jman, I think I'll start a series of my own. It will be structured similar to yours, except mine will concentrate on more like the bridgejumper type situations. I will be surprised if any of mine pay more than $2.20; most will pay $2.10. Like yours, a "round" will consist of a parlay of 10 show bets beginning with a $100 bet. If I win 10 in a row, I'll have between $160 and $200, and I will start a new parlay with $100. I will probably need to successfully complete at least 6 of my 10 ten-race parlays to show a profit.

I'll hope to do 10 rounds, but it may take awhile. If a horse loses, a new round will automatically start with the next listed post-time.

Round 1

1. 9/29 TP R10--Street Sense

--Dunbar

PS, if you prefer I do this in a separate thread, don't hesitate to say so.

Rd 14 starts today...

Nope, you're fine right here. Good Luck. I think you'll do a better job at being patient and picking the "right" situations than I am.

I get the sneaking suspicion that Bay Meadows will get me yet again. I'm like a bug to the zapper. But, if you're doing a show parlay, how can you turn down like 5 straight 5 horse fields??? :p

Rd 14 ended after 8 picks at a bankroll of $203.

Rd 15 commences now...

9/27 BM R8 Molly's Durango - 3rd paid $2.40 - Running Total = $120

More tomorrow, maybe... I'm getting a little burnt out stringing all these together and losing at the very end!

Continuing Rd 15

9/28 BM R1 Colominas - WON paid $2.10 -Running Total = $126

9/28 OSA R2 Red Fort - SCR

9/29 Flower Bowl - Wait a While - 3rd paid $2.90 - Running Total = $183

9/29 Kentucky Cup - Street Sense - 2nd, no show wager

9/29 Goodwood - Awesome Gem, changed from Lewis Michael - 2nd paid $2.60 - Running Total = $238

Oh yeah, I've done those. Not in the BEL one though. There's a lot of them these days, take your pick. I think Oak Tree just started one or is very soon.

continued...

Continue Rd 15 tomorrow... 10/10

OSA R1 - R Charlie's Angel

KEE R4 - Just for Keeps

"10/10" seems like a good day to get to 10 in a row!

--Dunbar

dunbar, the only way that's going to happen is if you have 9 more picks to share!

......

late pick...6 MTP

10/10 OSA R7 Kapalua Bay - 2nd paid $2.40 - Running Total = $420

That's 7 (again), need 3 more

Meadowlands R1 - coupled entry, 1 and 1a OFF THE BOARD

I knew I was overdoing it a little, but WOW... had the best speed in the race couple with the best form on paper and one managed to walk across the finish line and the other one lost it's jockey in the stretch... that's the way it goes.

Rd 15 came to an end after 7 successful picks and a bankroll of $450.

Too bad about that one.

With the kind of payoffs you are getting, you only need to be successful 2 out of 10 times to show a nice profit. But it still ain't easy.

--Dunbar

Well, I've got 5 more rounds to make it happen!! :p
