As of the first two picks of Round 20, jman is losing at a rate of 0.5% (assuming he bet equal amounts on each of his 113 picks). That compares very favorably with a dart throwing show (or win or place) bettor, who would be losing at a rate of 16%+. Jman would be down a mere $55 if he'd bet $100 on every pick he has made. With any sort of rebate or promotion, he would be solidly ahead.

I'll take the coupled entry #1 in CRC R5, Casablanca Babe/Our Little Buck

WON and paid $2.10 - Running Total = $151

jman, what's the assumption going to be if just one of the entry runs? I think the best is to assume that the pick is cancelled unless you say otherwise ahead of time.

Yes, if they both don't go... cancelled. They both went here, or at least I think they did.

Right, they both went (finished 1st and 4th). I was just thinking about the future, short as it is! ;>)
