Cal828, some times even I know a person has to change a certain style. And the way I have been going I think this is that moment. I had a few seconds but that's not my way of betting. I like the front end on my bets. But I have been watching your play. I take my hat off to you. I feel if there is anyone to catch is "You". Not to hurt any ones feelings. Everyone here has good days also. Real Quiet is another to keep an eye on. Pete is pretty consistent when he gets rolling. Well good luck to all this Saturday.

We are now 38 weeks into our contest year and on a whole it has not been kind to our group. Six times in the ROI we have gone without a winner and overall we are losing about 31%. Not our worst year (2012 was) but close. There is a distinct possibility that no player will show a profit. With all that being said, 3 players are still making some virtual cash. 38 weeks and three out of approximately 10 players are still up. In third with a $54 profit is Cal. A good part of that is his 7 second place finishes and hitting the board 32% of the weeks. In second is Ruffian with a profit of $122 and an ROI of 3.69%. By a cats whisker our pro tem leader is NJ Stinks with a profit of $103.90 and an ROI of 3.85%. Now that's close and the order is subject to change race to race.
Everyone else is down well over a thousand except for Cruzan who only has 9 weeks under his belt. As far as wins go, Ruffian leads with 6. NJ Stinks, Cal and Real Quiet have 4 each with Joly, Don and Roamin adding 3. Everyone has won at least one week. Good luck the rest of the way and lets try to keep 2012 in the books.

Thanks again Pete. We'll have to give you a raise I guess!!! I'll speak with the other Board Members about it and see what I can do.

One step forward and two steps back might be the theme of this year. Maybe with a lot of luck we can somehow redeem ourselves by the end of the year. I think we've still got some $200 limit days. Maybe that will help.

For myself, I think I will try to play some different types of bets that I don't usually try like doubles or pick 3s. I think the problem with playing the same old way every week is you don't look for other opportunities that might be there. So watch, I'll try that for awhile and likely lose and then it'll be back to my comfort zone.
