Thurs, Aug 2:
Casting a wide net. I couldn't get away with this with a normal takeout. Even so, I may well hit the Pick-4 but lose on the bet.
6) 3,4,6,8,10
7) 4,6,7
8) 1,3,4,8,9,10
9) all
50c on each leg, $315 total.

Won by a nose in the 6th with the $12.40 #8;
Could have caught the tri in the 7th, with the 7,6,4 finish (winner paid $6.60)
won by 1/2 length in the 8th with the $17.00 #9;
Hoped for a 10-1 winner in the 9th but had to be content with the $8.60 #1.
The (8-7-9-1) 50c Pick-4 paid $709.35.
Daily result: +$394.35.
Overall:
Total bets: $675
Total return: $709.35
Net profit: $34.35
PS, a 50c parlay would have only paid $374.
A 25% takeout Pick-4 would have paid $554. (Attention Saratoga bettors!)
I'd rather have the $709.
