All it is, is a 3 minute (Plus however long to be official) loan as far as I am concerned because the horse aint losing.

And I obviously don't do this all the time, because I don't usually bet 4/5, unless I think the horse should be 1/2....
Siegel said exactly this stuff about WAR PASS(couple weeks ago .)Would seem one of you should be right.So,good luck.

SCAV,what I don't get is, if you're a good bettor, you shouldn't need to play this obvious stuff for meager odds.It's like George trying to buy a championship for the Yankees.

Again, I am not going to play him at 2/5 or 1/5, but if he drifts up to 4/5, where people are going to try and beat him, I won't try and beat him.

Being a good bettor doesn't necessarily mean playing horses at larger odds or more favorable, it is taking advantage of situations where you feel you are at an advantage.

I am talking generally (about doing this.)In general,if you continue to bet more than your profit will be,then you will struggle mightily.

Scuds, do I sit and tout 3/5's all the time? I think this is a unique circumstance. Honestly, I wouldn't even be talking about this but with his prep over the track and being under the lights, this is the only reason I am considering it, if the odds are right
