Title: A winning day I'd rather forget...
Post by: shanahan on July 15, 2017, 07:05:16 PM
has anyone ever won 3 pik 4\'s and lost $$?  Have I set a record for BEL/ELP/Bel&Los today?

Bet I at least tied a record...geez....

I\'m still reeling from the Indiana Grand P3\'s races 3-5 and races 4-6. I played the 4-6 sequence and after the race 5 payoff was posted I was excited about my prospects but......

Race 3:  13.20-1, 5th choice of 7.  (12-1 ML)  Favorite .90-1
Race 4:  13.30-1, 6th choice of 10.  (20-1 ML)
Race 5:  4.40-1, 3rd choice of 8.  ROTW! (8-1 ML)
Race 6:  7.60-1, 6th choice of 8.  (10-1 ML)  Favorite 1.00-1

Races 3-5, $.50 Pick 3:  $1,011.00.  Pool 9,022.  
Races 4-6, $.50 Pick 3:  $324.15.  Pool 19,008.

This is why FrankD is so insistent about pool size in many past posts.  One good punch someone made likely caused the 4-6 sequence to be far shorter than the 3-5 it seems.  I haven\'t ran the parlays yet but quite a contrast there.  As a side note, all of the p3\'s into race 6 were much lower than the previous p3 for the top 5 choices in the betting in race 6.      

One curiosity is if a TG player was involved in the second p3 described here for a solid amount/score given the ROTW comments about Western Reserve.  I\'m thinking mistermoose went a little more exotic than his post stated and hammered it a few extra times.  Congrats and thanks deserved on a solid post and presumably a solid score in the win pool at least!  And another solid ROTW by TGAB, Thanks Alan.

FrankD is Uncle Bill\'s appointed Prince of the Backyard at Saratoga.  Less than a week til \"they are off at Saratoga\" and maybe, just maybe, he will begin posting again with weather reports.  The Triple Crown riffraff has finally disappeared in these parts.......until next April.
