I tried that strategy for the first time yesterday. I took a 30-1 shot when there was a 50-1 shot in the same race. I was really ticked at myself for being "cute" when I saw that the 50-1 shot came in. I'm much less bothered by it now that I see I would have shared the $500 with 16 other players.

Only 8 left with 14/14 show streaks. One of the 8, Sacatbox, is also just one behind in Win Streak and Total Wins.
