Someday when you have time explain when and where you protect on your pk4's-5's, such as the first sequence where a "C" pick came in and saved the day with a 27k payout. Perhaps sometime when posting picks you could just add a line such as " substituting this "C" for this "a,b" in race whatever. I am assuming that you had more than 1 pick 5 ticket and did they cost the same? I don't get to the races much nor can I bet on line (Texas) so my handicapping abilities are null and void. I'm looking forward to recap this week and you and all your listeners keep up the good work.
The standard (Steve Crist) A-B-C multi-ticket approach suggests using all A's (for maybe 3 units), all A's with one B (for maybe 2 units), all A's with 2 B's, and all A's with one C. So for the below:

P5 Grid:

1: 6-10 (A), 1-3-9 (B), 2-4 (C)
2: 4 (A), - (B), 2-8 (C)
3: 8-12-13 (A), 4-11 (B), 2-7-9 (C)
4: 3-4-10 (A), - (B), 2-6-7-11 (C)
5: 8-11 (A), - (B), 1-7 (C)

AAAAA: 2x1x3x3x2 = 36 * 1.5 = $54
BAAAA: 3x1x3x3x2 = 54 * 1 = $54
AABAA: 2x1x2x3x2 = 24 * 1 = $24
CAAAA: 2x1x3x3x2 = 36 *.5 = $18
ACAAA: 2x2x3x3x2 = 72 * .5 = $36
AACAA: 2x1x3x3x3 = 54 * .5 = $27
AAACA: 2x1x3x4x3 = 72 * .5 = $36
AAAAC: 2x1x3x3x2 = 36 * .5 = $18
BABAA: 3x1x2x3x2 = 36 * .5 = $18

Total cost = $275

... which using the above, the AACA ticket came through for a cool $23,700.
