Looking For Some Wager Guidance @ Belmont

Take your other $100 to the track tomorrow & play a daily double in the Brooklyn w/Angliana & me on Saturday.

That would be hard to do since I live in Scottsdale, AZ. I only want to spend it in the Belmont race.

No it wouldn't. Go to Brennan's Sports Pub on Scottsdale Rd. and Thunderbird. They have simulcast for NYRA. A few nice pool tables as well.....

Wow....that is where I go to place my bets. I don't stick around though. It is fun to return to cash in the ticket.

Save the money for your air conditioning bill.

I'm more concerned about the gas pump. Yesterday I hit $100.00 to fill up. Iy was shocking.

I'd love to win that tank of gas back. C'mon give me some Belmont advice with that 100.00.

I'm looking at BB to win for $200.00 and possibly $100.00 exacta on BB and Denis of Cork. If I win, that might cover summer air-conditioning and one tank of gas.

Put it all on the BB- Casino Drive Exacta. All $300. Personally I am boxing the two for $200 and hoping Casino Drive wins and it pays in the $20 range.

Denis of Cork and all the other are too slow to beat either Casino Drive or Big Brown.

Big Brown and Casino Drive are a lock to run 1-2 with a 15-20% shot CD beats BB.

what if the great casino drive ,runs off the board....mucho again is my next in line after bb

slotdirt · #9 06-06-2008, 08:32 AM

All I know is if you put $ 200 to win on Big Brown at the Preakness, you got back $40. The odds for Big Brown will be even lower at the Belmont, so if you're looking to score $100 for a tank of gas, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Excuse my lack of knowledge on Exactas. If I were to bet part of my money on Big Brown and Casino Drive in a box? OK but what do I say word for word to the person at the ticket window so I don't look like an idiot. I don't mind looking like an idiot here since no one can see me

Have you thought about taking the $300.00 and putting it in a Pick-6 ticket ?

Go up to the Teller, say Belmont Race 11, $100 exacta box (or however much you want to make it), then say 1-5 and they will place it.

If you do a $100 exacta box it will cost $200. When you box two horses for a certain amount of money you double that to get your final cost. hope this helps a little.

If you are someone who bets really chalky horses, which I am not, try a 3 horse parlay. Benny the Bull, Indian Blessing, Big Brown. $300 might get you back $1000.

Just so you know.. There is NO WAY a CD/BB exacta is paying $20. BB/CD will pay $5 and CD/BB will pay $10, maybe $11.

Yes it would. Denis of Cork, Tale of Ekati, and CD would all be around $20. There are many more CD skeptics than believers. The chalky exacta is and was going to be the BB-DOC exacta. That is where all the smart money is going.

Now the BB-CD exacta could be as much as $15 and the CD-BB exacta probably $40.

Everybody will tell you Icant seem to post a winner, but I can tell you that Casino Drive will finish off the board..............The horse has a problem and doesn't want to run.

ceejay · #17 06-06-2008, 06:20 PM

I suspect the place pool will pay more than the win pool on BB.

Forget the trash initiated by JCS toward DruGs. JCS, I'm not on the inside with DruGs and Andy and some of these DT Brash, but Drugs is well ahead of you in handicapping. Relax, I like you're penchant to go against the masses, you just need to refine your skills, and not be unrealistic. I may have mixed feelings about Blackthroated Wind, but he is a reference point here. His intellect and attitude(for good or bad in society, it may be the right attitude for this game) make him a teacher here. Resist at your own expense
