Place Vs. Fave/Long Exacta Running Tab

[Antitrust32]

counting the win bets takes away from this report in my opinion.

should just be

$2 Place vs $2 Straight exacta (fav over the 10-1 and over shot)

Anti, that's what it is. They cancel each other out. I'm just using both to give an accurate representation of the total you would get back had you done 2WP vs. the other way.

Maybe, I actually think I'm going to lose. Watching some of the probables in exacta payouts, it will be close. Not nearly as confident as yesterday. Grits and I have a small wager on this to be paid up in Toga. As Beth and Kev can attest, whenever I bet one person I lose.

yeah, i personally feel that you will lose.. no offense

but you got off to a good start!

[Antitrust32]

but hey... win or lose this is still very informative and maybe will change the way you wager to get a better ROI

Complete day one standings now posted.


Side Note: A thought. When two 10-1 horses or higher finish 1-2 we are assuming that we both have the winner. Technically we should rotate each time that happens, b/c the place bet will be higher or lower depending on which horse over 10-1 we actually had...Maybe it all comes out in the wash. I guess it will b/c we will just keep on assuming that we both have the winner.

The way this is set up it looks that way because you can only count yours when Grits can as well (unless I'm confused).

It seems to me, and why I bet WP, is that your chances of being able to cash a ticket will occur more often than if you're only betting the chalk over the longshot you like best in the exacta. Of course you could always solve this problem by approaching your bet like DaHoss aforementioned.
