Hi again jman5581. It's a tough game. I was wondering where you would be now if you wagered only 1/2 your bankroll on each horse since you started. You certainly would have your initial wager whatever that may have been.
Anyway good luck on the next round.

I don't think that's necessarily true. Show me some numbers.

I'm not going back in the thread to track every wager made but the idea is that if the first wager was $100 and successful (example: first winner pays $2.20. Bankroll=$110. Next wager is $55 to show. Horse loses. Bankroll= $55. Next wager is $28 to show, so on and so forth. While the original $100 may not be left at this point in time the losses that jman5581 has incurred are limited and he has enough winners to offset a periodic loss.

Frustrating, I'm sure! But "a lock" in a maiden claimer? Also, another horse was 9-5, so your horse's 3-2 is not a sign of overwhelming support.

Tough loss, anyway.

I was caught up in the moment, just trying to complete a round. I hate Golden Gate Fields.

I adjusted the amounts using my proposal and after 10 races it's back to square 1 and the original $100 is almost intact.

#1 Itza Hemi lost $95. bankroll =$95

Less risk = less reward, but I think the idea is fairly slick and could work out in one's favor over a LONG period of time... slow and steady can win the race. As in investing.
