A lot of times, that means you have to single a horse that shouldn't really be a single simply because you want to make the ticket affordable.

This is probably because you're glossing over the first few legs. Go back and see if you can narrow down in the early legs. Then reanalyze your single or skinny leg and see if you're forcing yourself to single a horse you don't love. If you do these things and come to the conclusion that there's no way you'll feel comfortable going one- or two-wide in any leg, PASS ON THE SEQUENCE. There will be plenty of other pick threes and fours to play, and choosing the right sequence will save and make you money.
That's the best I can do for ya dude.

The book isn't going to do anything else for you if you're not honest with yourself about your goal.

If that were true, then you wouldn't be constantly frontloading your tickets just to stay alive through the early legs.

no kidding, i told you how earlier. do you think i work? the idea in the pics is to raid the pool. i told you before. if you had pics with Big Brown singled. you are doing what everyone is doing. if he wins the pic is like 58 bucks. i had that, but i also had an all ticket. the obvious is for folks that don't cash big tickets. i'm giving away secrets here , i should write a book!

Look if you apply Crist's Alphabet method then you might as well buy Dave Ramsey's book if you're opinion is bad to begin with.

I would keep doing exactly what you are doing now, and double up - you're getting close to a HUGE score, and you don't want to be thin when it hits - PS - the Giant's Causeway angle is fierce...I wouldn't have given that out on the internet if I were you

Joe,
You should just stop. A while back you sent me a sad message about how your parents died in a car crash and how despite inheriting $12,000,000 you were still unhappy.

Instead of making up internet stories about your sad ass self you should do something positive for yourself to fix whatever ails you.

If you do have kids, there is nothing that says that just because their mother doesn't love you cannot be a good father.

Whatever your true story is, grow up, you whiny little phuck.
