$120 a day is affordable. There will be sequences like yesterday that I can hit on a 1-1-3-1 ticket, and it paid over $300.

$120 a day for two pick 4's is a losing strategy

Are you saying if I flip this into a positive ROI I am the GREATEST?

No. It only takes one or two hits to flip it and that is 90%> luck. The odds of that happening are slim, however.

Coach of course luck is involved, but I put a lot of time into it and I expect a positive ROI following this structure of $120 and $160 on Saturdays/ just pick 4's.

Wednesday Early Pick 4, Ticket #1

4/2,3,4,5,8/1,4/1,5,6,7,8 $1, $50

THis sequence SUCKS, taking stands in the 2nd and 4th. The 2nd is much more of stand, I feel really good about my 2 in the 4th. I dont want Dutrow in the 3rd, really dont want Jacobson either, will cover him though because even though it was vs lesser competition his last was really good. IMO this is the same as a flat $50 win bet on Mcpeek in the second. If she gets home, this is very likely to be a winning ticket. Julian needs to put her in the race early like last time, the layoff does not scare me because the Trombetta horse SUCKS, and the other contenders are off similar layoffs. I think Dollase's horse who has the edge of recent races will be left with 2 much to do. The firsters, the trainers dont win in these spots, if one of them pops, Im beat. The 4th, Al Stall is 7/19 dropping allowance/claimer on turf... Gomez up tells me that horse is primed, will use the 1 thinking he can bounce back. GoOD Luck, this leaves us with $100 for the late pick 4.

Late pick 4, Ticket #2

6,8,10,12/1,6/1,6,9,12/6,7,10 $1, $96

The 7th looks like a total meltdown. THe 6 looks like the fastest horse but needs to show it in NY, the 1 should get the trip for a really dangerous trainer/jockey combo. THe 6th, Chad Brown is hot and Im thinking the Bond barn will eventually heat up. Those 2 are the mains, I will respect Jerkens and the Kentucky shipper really dont think anyone else can win the 6th. The Stakes race might be more wide open then I originally thought, I think the 1 will run huge but there are a few good ones in there. I love the switch to Julian on the Mott.

Well then allow a daily allowance of $120 for one or both...that way if there is a sequence one likes they can cover it properly.

What do you think is a reasonable amount? $75 per play? I dont want to go any higher then that.... $75 per sequence, and $100 for the Saturday late?

I agree.

Pass and a $120
$40 and an $80
$24 and a $96
$48 and a $72

$120 a day is $120 a day, no?

Playing like it were real cake I doubt I'd be playing $60 and $60 very often.....and expecting some return at a meet like Saratoga.
