I really wanted to play some .25 pick sixes at Belmont today but, can't get money on 5dimes on such short notice.

Any 5dimes users recommend depo options?

First and foremost your very welcome walk. Il start off by saying i decided to start posting here cos, I love the game. Im young and theres hardly any1 in there 20's interested in our game. Ive devoted my entire adult life to it, and although ive made ends meet, i havent gotten enough out of it, enough joy i guess and i thought starting to post here would gain a since of connection with others that love the game. Anyhow, how i figured race 5, il start by saying i suck at translating what my ADD brain is thinking into words on paper Several factors got me to the #1 horse, first off it starts with watching the first few races and watching the track for a bias. In watching the first few races i noticed the track was playing to middle speed horses. After knowing that, i started scoping the form for horses that fit the profile and race 5 didnt just fit the profile, it was a dream scenario. You had two horses drawn outside(Red Sierra & Harpoon Hattie) that had to have the lead in order to run a winning race and they were the speed of the speed, this worked out perfect for our filly, she was previously a speed router earlier in her career, but mostly shes always been a stayer, so although we were going 6furs, she had enough early tactical speed over everyone else in the race that she had to find her self behind the outside horses throwing it down and being a stayer, she was gonna get first run. Wish they all were that easy. If you need help deciphering anything i said or dont understand something dont hesitate to ask.

super. this kind of insight really helps, IMO. I have different types of handicapping angles/ideas that I incorporate, and it's also good to get a different perspective. The reason why I asked is just to try and get into your mind on how you deduced that result and see if it's something I could apply or use in any way.

FYI, I'm in my 20s too. not for long though.

I started on the sports betting forum because there was tons of good insight on here. I always loved horse racing, and this is truly the only thread I look at any more. Generally speaking, the rest of the threads on here have gotten so bad. This thread stands alone. Nothing but quality posts, good fun, good group.

So what do you have for the final races at PEN? Ha, that's my problem. My action need supplants my handicapping. If I could rein that in, I might make some scratch one day!

Theres really only 1 other race that caught my attention and its the 8th race, the #4 horse is a 1st time starter, and hes working faster than his opponent racing times..lol Few concerns though, hes a 4yo, obv theres been issues of getting him to the race track, but im willing to take that chance if im able to get 3.5-1+ odds a few mins to post.
Il b goin Race 9 $10 WP #4 & $4DD #4 with 1, 7,8

Race 8 was anyone's ball game. Basically could have pulled a name out of a hat and had better shot of getting the winner. oh well. fun race.

next time, but he'll be even money that day more than likely.. he gave a good account of himself going 2 turns the first start of his life and only losing by a neck.

This is great.

Their coverage on derby day was very good.

I wonder how many hours of coverage per racing day they will have?

Ive got $36 invested with the potential of getting back $600 or $300, Im willing to put another $20 in this final leg. I feel like the 4 & 7 have the only shot of beating me, but who knows, its horse racing, and thats why i only feel comfortable puting 20 more in. I feel like i can break even or get a small profit if either of these hedge bets comes in.. GL

race 4 penn .50c tri's

4,7 with 6,8 with all

4,7 with all with 6,8

Total of $20
