The more you make the first bet mentioned, the more likely you are to come out completely stripped. Some people attempted to show this earlier in the thread.

The first photo...after your heartattack.

I still dont get how you make that big a bet that big with one minute.
I would like to understand that. You have a bunch of trustworthy people
helping out... maybe I missed it earlier. The Vegas thing, I dont see how
that flies.
But Pgardn, why does bridgejumping have to be a consistent betting pattern? Why can't it simply represent value on an individual race basis?

I love to hear "value of the race". That comment is great especially when the "value" doenst have a realistic shot of actually winning. And how many times have you heard that? The best "value" to me is the bet most likely to win. And Dunbar brought up an excellent point- if there was no value in bridgejumping, why do tracks often cancel show betting in five horse fields?
