I'd spread your money over several races, maybe doubles etc. if you want to go for a bigger payoff.

Last, why partner if you're not going to agree? It's fun on occasion but you're not talking about some bg syndacate. Get a buch of people together if you want to do that.

That's mt $0.02.

i'd agree with spyder. make your own plays but Pick the guys brain every chance you get. when you disagree get him to explain "why".

I say keep your bets to yourself.

I hate talking about a race before I or we bet. How often do you get talked out of making your bet only to have it happen. Your first instincts are usually correct. I know it doesn't do any good if you wait until after to explain how you hit... but seriously you want to bet what you think.

I lost some monster payouts because instead of betting them I talked about them. after I complained about it my uncle said, "something something..., you just wanted to talk about it"

I know going in on a pick 4 helps your chances of covering... I just wonder if it would put a strain on the relationship if you talked him into something opposite of what he was(n't) thinking and it turned out he was right and should have never listened and vice versa for you

I would:
- stick to myself. if you're not on the same page this early in the deal, ...
- $50-70 is fine for a budget for a week. And if you want to just have fun with it, wager however you like. But if you're really trying to win, that level is probably too little to be playing p-4's or even p-3's. I'd think about playing 60%-70% of your bankroll on a few races betting win and small exactas and the rest on Daily Doubles.

good luck.
