If my math is right...


3:31 HOL R3 - 4 Sir Lowry - 3rd paid $2.20 - Running Total = $751

4:34 HOL R5 - 4 Silver Stetson Man - 3rd paid $2.10 - Running Total = $789

6:07 HOL R8 - 3 Hucking Hot - WON paid $3.00 - Running Total = $1,184

That makes a dent in the loss so far... instead of $1600, the loss is now only $416. One more good round and I could be up before you know it.

On to Round 18...
Good persistance, jman! However, your $1184 final bankroll means you won $1084, which in turn means you are $516 in the hole, not $416.

Hey, anyway, weren't you ready to pocket the $400 profit from Round 16 after 6 bets? You'd have missed out on the "extra" $684! (You knew I was going to bring that up again, didn't you.)

Good luck on #18.
