The way it came across was that you were playing 'cheap' at $5, like you were a $20 exacta player.....

My losing $200 Pick 4s and losing $1,200 Pick 6s have been well-documented over in Selections.

And I gave out a winning Pick 6 once that LOST money. Travers Day 2006. That was fun....and embarassing.

Unfortunately, I do.

What's even more embarassing about this exacta is that there wasn't an ounce of real handicapping for me. I took the colts by the two dams that I recognized, and threw in the Zito horse, who I liked, and who didn't run a step.

It's better to be lucky than good.
