Lightbulb Digger's Show Bets

I'll try to explain this bet as simple as I can. I'am going to start the day with a bankroll of $20. Starting with race 1 I'll bet half of my bankroll throughout the card till bankroll is empty. First bet will be race 1, $10 show on Wit #4. If loses then bankroll is $10. If wins, then bankroll increases.
It's my fun bet on days like today. I'll need some luck to make it through the hole card. I'll stop after race 11 though.

Sounds like an enjoyable way to spend the afternoon. A couple of the races [races 6 and 8 especially] looked like difficult races in which to come up with a show pick, but if you are successful you should be rewarded. If you post your picks here as the day proceeds, we can applaud your success.
