Default I need a little help/advice

I entered a Handicapping contest on youbet.net Right now I'm in first.
My bet was a $50 double at Aqueduct 2,6/2,4 It hit and right now I have a net profit of 2,250 with a ROI of 1125.00% Do I still have to bet or do I sit chilly??? I'm clueless. Help!!!!

Good job. I bet a little on that horse to win....only because a friend of mine liked him. I never even handicapped the race. I didn't play that race in the contest.

The Youbet contest we are talking about is win-place only and involves ONLY Oaklawn, Keeneland and Santa Anita.

It is actually a neat idea, which Youbet pulled from the poker sites. On the poker sites, you could play with fake money to help learn the way of the online poker world. Youbet.net allows you to do that also, and for someone that doesn't know how to bet, it is risk free.....

Yeah..it's a free site with the option to play for real. I do both. Sometimes its fun (when your bankroll is down) to do mythical wagers just to keep your handicapping prowess up do date.

Went with the 10 there in the 2nd as my first contest wager.

James Graham was actively looking for traffic I believe. By the time he got the horse clear, it was too late and he could only get 3rd.

0-1.

I looked over the PP's just now and had a feeling she might have....nice job.

Speed and fade on poly the start before, and a 2nd to Get Ready Bertie before that.
