Okay, I just went through and added up all your individual payoffs! Pretty impressive.

I see 102 bets so far. And, amazingly enough, you have gotten back $204.30 in $2 payoffs. A 30c profit may not seem like much to get excited about, but you've overcome the 14-19% track take (and breakage takes a big toll on show bets, too). You're doing way better than most here would have predicted.

Because the payoffs on show bets are so low, a result like yours is a lot more meaningful than if someone made 102 $2 win bets. I'll be interested to see if you can stay close to even for the rest of the run.

Now the bad news. I think you are now on Round 17, not Round 16. I think you did Round 9 or 10 twice. Go back and see if you agree. (I think the horse Cruisin On ended Round 9 and Carlow ended what should have been Round 10, but you started another Round 10.)

Bottom line, if you had bet $100 on each of your horses to show, you'd have a $15 profit (50 * 0.30) instead of a $1600 loss so far. (well, actually a $1050 loss, if you count your current $650 bankroll).
