I skip a whole bunch of races.
Just cause I buy a card... I dont feel obligated
to bet.
Especially lately.

The bolded is one reason I dont like the pik's.
You are forced to go with horse(s) that you cannot separate.
So of course you go Power Ball deep, or maybe find
another sequence that suits you. I will admit the pik's
are very entertaining.

I mainly go Win or Win/Place.
Look for a competitive race where I feel I got a grip
and hope the odds meet worthiness (this is the creative part imo)
Occasional exacta.
Lotta good it has done me the last 2 years...
Especially on the synth.
