Default I need a little help/advice

I entered a Handicapping contest on youbet.net Right now I'm in first.
My bet was a $50 double at Aqueduct 2,6/2,4 It hit and right now I have a net profit of 2,250 with a ROI of 1125.00% Do I still have to bet or do I sit chilly??? I'm clueless. Help!!!!

Good job. I bet a little on that horse to win....only because a friend of mine liked him. I never even handicapped the race. I didn't play that race in the contest.

The Youbet contest we are talking about is win-place only and involves ONLY Oaklawn, Keeneland and Santa Anita.

It is actually a neat idea, which Youbet pulled from the poker sites. On the poker sites, you could play with fake money to help learn the way of the online poker world. Youbet.net allows you to do that also, and for someone that doesn't know how to bet, it is risk free.....

Yeah..it's a free site with the option to play for real. I do both. Sometimes its fun (when your bankroll is down) to do mythical wagers just to keep your handicapping prowess up do date.

I would sit chilly by the way and see what happens, with that return, it will be hard, I have seen better numbers, but you personally won't be able to improve that, unless you hit another monsterous ticket
