That is what makes me a good handicapper but a lousy gambler!
So many times I have got off a horse because of "Hi-Odds"dead on the board.
This is The Bain of my existance!
That and the S.D.Chargers!

There are so many good horses in the BC races you do need some luck to win however you bet.

The pace scenario will be important to find an edge for a horse.

I'm going to disagree with most of you on this thread. This day is all about the verticals, and the supers are the place to be. Playing in increments of 10 cents allows you to spread to catch the bombs. Look at the payoffs from the last several years and you'll see those pools offer the best chance to catch real jackpots, even when favorites are involved.

What are the wagering options? $.10 supers? $0.50 pk3s and pk4s? $0.50 tris?

Thanks

We should have tabbed him to stop Hurricane Sanday. Looking at the Will-Pays that guy is either very happy or extremely distraught.
