Ditto. Sometimes it's so easy to throw down a WP bet, but maybe that isn't the right thing to do.

Are you guys tracking the % of winning bets to the total? Obviously the exacta will be smaller, just interested in what it turns out to be...

I enjoy reading the thread also... Just confused on one thing
Is it any 10-1's that runs first or second ? Yes I did a read back to the start of the thread, and wasnt sure. Thank you, and keep up the good work.

Thank you all for replying. I was concerned as the reads weren't increasing by much.

Even bigger thanks to Randall.

Yup. Any time 10-1 or higher runs first or second, it counts as part of the sample.

I don't post much because I do not have a lot to offer, but this has been far more interesting than reading poly vs. dirt go on and on. Thanks for the idea, as well as making us all take a step back and review how and why we wager the way we do! I am sure I am not along among the silent readers on this thread.

djw, thank you for your thoughtful comments. I hope that you'll rethink posting . . .handicapping is most welcome--always; as is all opinion and thought regarding the game. No one person here has far more to offer than the next person hitting submit.

Take care.

Thank you... [ I dont want to start another thread..lol] , but I wonder how this would hold up to ""second tier tracks""..
Seems to me that these tracks (being done now) have the betting public, putting the hammer down on the favs and letting some nice horses drop down to the 10-1 + odds. It will be interesting to see how this finishes up @ 250.
