I have a profitable ROI on my pick 4's, so if you disagree with some of my choices in my horses than tell me why please.

Don't tell me it's a disservice to the internet, I never rag on your selections.

I think the early pick 4 is very profitable, and I posted a smaller ticket just below it like I always do.

I ask you and everyone else on this site to criticize more the selection of my horse than how I am structuring my tickets. If you think $240 is too much for a Pick 4 that's fine, you are probably a more efficient handicapper than I am.
?? Ok, so because there are good maidens, that means to put in $250 on a $1 ticket, that regularly pays between $80 and $140?

If the field sizes were 10x10x9x12 and highly contested, say it is first weekend at Saratoga, well then I can see $250 into a sequence like that, but $250 into a Friday at Santa Anita with 6x6x10x6, horrible mismanagement.

Selecting a horse and how you structure your tickets are EQUALLY important. Any horse player that has been around for at least one year has heard the saying "All I do is pick winners and I have nothing to show for it because I can't structure". That ticket is TERRIBLY inefficient.

You will probably go and hit that ticket today for $2500 and that would be great BUT in the long run, be prepared to get torched with that method, and I can't wait to hear "I spent $250 and I got back $80"
