Default Need some betting advice.

So I had $150 WP on Tackleberry on Saturday. I feel terrible. Would I have been better off betting all $300 to win, or possibly a $300 Tackleberry/Duke of Mischief straight exacta, because those were my other thoughts? I've been doing this for 50 years!

You should have played the straight tri....like me. I'll give details when I get back from Barbados

Kind Sir:

Whilst I'm painfully sorry for the nightmarish ordeal you had to endure forgive me as I must enquire as to which, if any, body parts were injured during said race (?).

this is so obvious, you should have played a straight $2000 super, along with maybe a $200 pick 5, maybe throw in a 10 cent pick 6
