7/18: Del Mar ~ Opening Day (5th-10th)

[moses]

Ive got a general question about betting strategy. Do you guys always back up your Pick 4 bets with daily double bets? Or do you save that part of the bankroll to bet an expanded Pick 4 wager? Or does it depend on the race card?

Today seems like a good day to bet the double to me. Probably a couple longshots that come in but I’m trying to avoid having my Pick 4 potentially blown up by a 2YO that doesn’t fire.

Don't want to hijack Steve's thread but I play mostly doubles at Delmar and Saratoga as I think they give the most bang for my buck and only need to hit a few to be successful. I will play pick 4s at Delmar also but not everyday as I try to play the ones that will seem to pay good like todays early one especially. Good luck and looking forward to seeing some picks in selection thread later.

I think the late pick 5 takeout is higher than the early

Thanks for the response. I don’t want to hijack the thread either, just wasn’t sure where else to put it. Good luck today.
