gogogo 5 of 6

if it pays, you got it 3 times and not many had that $35 horse, imo

To get 5/6 I need feliciano to upset again in the next race. For some reason, I can't imagine him doing it twice in a row. As a poker player it should not matter to me that he won the last race!

I'm a little confused though, why would I win it 3 times? I know the 7 was scratched so I have the 6 twice. Was the 4 scratched too?

Oh, is that how it works? That doesn't make much sense to be honest. But I don't know all that much about how the bets work in horse racing. Also I'm drinking.

And I just lost the race, but a 12-1 came in.

The last pick 6 I played paid to 3 of 6 though. I haven't lost hope yet.

Sure it does.

Break down the ticket into combinations.

You bet the 5th race three times.

I'm drinking too.. had a bottle of Kriek and on 2nd Lagunitas IPA

So I get that I lost that race 3 times. But I thought I only won the first leg twice, so I only get the payout twice. idk.

Just got done capping the first 4 and that has to be like the worst p4 ever... almost guaranteed it pays < $250 Good thing I didn't play it, was going to single #5

I'll do the late $150k p4 instead, that one looks much more open:

5) 2,3,4,5,6,7
6) 1,2,3,5,6,7,8
7) 4,6
8) 2,5,7

$126

then no sweat on late p4.. you've already won!

Am I missing something here? No idea why #9 was ML 2/1 fave or why he'd go off at worse than 6/1. Happy to fade him here. 2/1 on the #11 as a first time starter seems a stretch too. Really tempted to put it back on on p4 seeing as how I must be missing something, but I will refrain.

Could not be running any worse in MTTs tonight. Will just stop registering and hope this ticket recoups my buyins

edit: oh yeah one last thing. I've probably watched at least 25 full days of SoCal racing and have never seen one of "Warren's" horses win. Does he just scoop up bottom of the barrel horses and inbreed them?

Tore up all my racing tickets but,only played one tourney last night. A 8+.80 NLHE MTT, ended up 3rd of 153 for $159. KO'd with QTs < AA aipf. The drama was that the flop was AKJ but, turn J

Yeah, those Warren horses haven't won since the Ford Administration..

Tell me about it.. bad year at the track for moi. The ytd figure here isn't my irl total but, they are both solid red numbers. I've only started keeping records in 2003 and the overall number is still a five digit black one but, this year certainly hasn't helped it.

We've got a $100k guaranteed All-Stakes pick four at Delta Downs.. let's fire up some gumbo and go for it!

DELTA DOWNS .50 pick four

4) 1-2-6-8
5) 2-3-6-7-8-9
6) 2-7
7) 1-3-4-5-6-8-9

$250K Guaranteed Late Pick 4 at Aqueduct

Tough one to handicap, but couldn't resist taking a swing. Was very tempted to gorilla the first leg, will put my head through a wall if the 5 comes in there, it was the last horse I chopped out.

2,7/3,4,6,8/1,3,5/3,5,8

$144

Belmont is closed, it's Aqueduct time. I wouldn't bother going..

I strongly recommend a twinspires account though.. play any tracks you want, with streaming video.

If the #5 wins the 11th at Delta, I finish top 19 in the Twinspires satellite for the World Series at The Orleans.

What a boner. For 4-5 seconds on the backstretch I thought it was in the bag.
