Pick one track for a day, and put 10 dollars to win on one number for every race on that card. I simulated it a few times using the 6 at random tracks, and everytime I came out a little bit on top because I cashed a few longer shots. I am really going to try this, 100 bucks is the most I can lose on a 10 race card and you would think the 6 will come home atleast once. What are your guys thoughts besides how stupid this sounds??

Irish: if anything like that were to be done by you, I suggest you put 5 across...I mean you are attempting to make Some money,right?

yeah, putting 5 across does sound better, or atleast just 5 dollar win/place. After the past two days, I think I'll take my chances with this. Two horses this weekend helped me a litte. I cashed good win bets on Noble Stella Saturday and Laptop Computer Sunday and thats about it.

My approach at the dog track is to box the 1-2-3 over and over.. It takes one hound in midpack to wipe out all the outside pups when they come flying around the turn.. That frequently leaves just the inside dogs to run on!

I've tried that bet with trotters and made some money--with those things it doesn't matter what the odds are cause the best horse will usually go off-stride in the last quarter and then my random post number had a chance regardless of odds.
