Dont make that bet Kev. Surely you can find something else to bet today?

If you were betting $20 on this to make a profit of appx $28, why not just risk $70 on Tiger Woods winning to make the same profit?

Tiger Woods has a much, much, much better chance of winning today than Artie Schiller does losing.

Kev that race is a real bad betting race. I love great stakes races and like watching the best compete but it really throws a wet blanket over the late pik-4. Artie is just so hard to bet, or to bet against.
There are other races that i actually like so why not just pass the race and go elsewhere.

I am about 90% gonna pass that bet up anyways....I have no faith in Artie anymore. I bet him, he loses, If I don't bet him today, he would win.

Gulp, I would bet Artie at 3/5 or better to win today. Thats about my breaking point.

As far as "safe bets go", Artie Schiller winning and Tiger winning are very close in my mind although I would give the edge to the human, in this case Tiger may not be so human. Hes about as great a frontrunner who has ever played any sport. Kind of like Tom Brady is when he had a lead or an edge in football.

I would bet Tiget 99 times out of a 100 rather than Artie today.

If you can still get .42 on a dollar, can you make a potentially big bet for your buddy Gander through your account?

With $12 in my account, I can't make any big wagers for anyone.

Gonna try and find a pick 3 with that $12 or maybe the early the DD and build from there....
