Show Parlay

[lemoncrush]

Show parlays are fun...
If a group of us is at the track, (and especially if we have novice handicappers with us) it's a fun way for everyone to throw in $5 or $10 to start and build enough money to pay the dinner and/or bar tab.

I find it difficult for me personally to approach the bet seriously as a means towards achieving a Positive ROI, because it doesn't have the instant gratification or exotic appeal of exactas, trifectas, pick 3s, etc...

Still, I agree the possibilities are there.

And, hey, if that's what a person wants to use it for....that's perfectly fine as well. It can pay the tab for sure....well, for most.

That was a nice run you had. It is harder than people think to win show bets. Inevitably one just doesn't run well or gets caught in a speed dual of some type.
