I've had some success at the windows these past couple of months. I am actually considering a 3 to 4 week try at playing for a profit. A serious 5 day a week job with a plan, a budget. Question is, what should be my bet(s) of choice? I'm thinkin straight win, pick 3's. I'm gonna budget myself to $200 a day max. Am I crazy or would you consider doing the same thing? Have any of you done something similar?

I think it depends whether you are a winning player or not betting horses. Are you ahead betting horses over the last few years? If you're not, then that means that just like the other 99% of horseplayers, you lose money in the long run. If that is the case, then you should not try to make your living betting horses for the next few weeks.

It's not easy for working guys to save money. You have a little money saved up and that is a good thing. You should use that money to live until you get your new job.
