heh heh, it did sound like that, didn't it?! But what I'm saying is that putting show bets into a parlay will have no effect on whether you make money in the long run. If you can't make money on the individual show bets you are using, then you will not be able to construct a parlay that will make money, except as a fluke result.

That's assuming that you don't change the way you pick your show bets according to how many successes you've had in the current parlay. If you DO get more selective or less selective after you win a few, then what I said above isn't true.

btw, without looking at the PP's, I see that Hucking Hot is just a lukewarm 5-2 morning line fav in your final pick of the series. (3 other horses are 4-1 or less.) Are you sure you're not just loving the name? ;>)
