Don't forget the fannypack! Such a helpful photo; it offers so many options.

Anyway back to the original question RHT. I mainly play daily doubles. They seem to give the most bang for my buck especially at Toga and are easier to hit then pick 3's and 4's. The way I play them is 2 horses in one race and a single in the other. I go $20 dd so each bet is $40. I look for nice long shots that can win. Sometimes if you string a few of these together you can really cash in.
This is a good strategy as one hit can carry you a long way. I play 1x3 OR 3x1 where my AxA bet is for 2 units and my AxB tickets are for 1 unit each. When you start using multiple horses in both legs your transaction costs will quickly eat into your winnings.

Yeah. Had I known that my simple and naive question was going to cause this, I'd never have asked.

I am getting too predictable.

Maybe I'll dart myself in protest.

You have an answer for everything. Ill tell you what since Im in the Christmas spirit. Ill meet you anywhere this Saturday. Ill hand you the $200 I owe you and another $200 for the American Cancer society. Since your so honorable, you can donate the entire $400. This should be a slam dunk.

Outside of Queer Eye For the Straight Guy, I don't think I've seen such lively fashion debate from men.

And if you can flaunt them, wear them!

Good idea ignoring the Preakness stuff. You must be a horrible poker player as your tells are so obvious. Anytime you get caught in a lie, you just ignore it. Do people outside of the internet fall for this nonsense?

As I have probably told you a thousand times, I have no desire to meet you ever. The only reason you say that is you know it'll never happen and it's a weak attempt to save face.

No need to meet. You can just make the donation on your own and provide a little proof you made it. Why do you need to hand me the money?

Wouldn't it be nice to be a man of your word just once?
