To me the contest would be better if you had, say, four or five people that actually followed the races at Hollywood, or any track, that made two plays a day.....one for $48 and one for $144. Then, see what the ROIs for the two plays were at the end of the meet. I think with even a mediocre opinion the bigger play would do better over time ( even though both would probably lose ).

Im willing to do it for the upcoming Tampa meet. Maybe Bigs and RudeboyElvis will be willing to as well. Not sure who else follows Tampa as religiously as us 3. Maybe Leo could join us as well.

I'm in. Big ticket vs. little ticket each day. Do we want to limit the big ticket to $144 (or round it to $150) as Andy suggested?

I would think limit the small ticket to under $50 and the larger ticket must be at least $150. Im open to any suggestions though..

That'll work. Say at least $144 as that is an easy combo to come up with.

works for me.

As a side note, im glad we were able to hijack Scavs thread...even if for a little while.

6: 1,3,4,10,11,12
7: 7,11
8: 1,5
9: 3,4

$48

Sure was. It looked good as the 3 took the turn sharply.
Tough one Scavs. Dont worry, you'll pop one and be in the black.

Agreed, was a nice payoff for a good ticket and I thought he was home free at the top of the lane.. Had no problem with him taking a stand against the #7 at 4/5, either.

On a completely unrelated side note, my friend hit the late pick 4 at Aqueduct today with a $48 ticket. Talk about a ROI! Congrats to him!
