Spot Plays

Dahoss · #1 07-16-2011, 12:24 PM

Going to be doing this from now until the end of the Saratoga Meet. I have done it on another board in the past with success and the exercise has proven to be beneficial to me because it helps me pin down the horses I prefer most over the course of a day and make the most of them, instead of trying to get overly cute with exotics.

The format is simple, the days I'm playing, I'll post the horses I like each day. I'll be betting them, but for the basis of the exercise I'll keep track of them as if I'm just betting $2 to win. Point of it all is to show a positive ROI at the end.

You mean you won't be playing Win/Place on the top 2 favorites ?

Nothing like getting out of the gate fast.

Couple of well beaten 2nd's but not close on the win end. On the bright side I got called a sexist and the 2nd person this week told me they want to beat me up. All in all I'd call it a solid day.

The Chief is favored here early? Really? Going to have to take a second look at the 2 and 4 if the board stays like this.

July 22nd Recap

Another day, another big fat 0. It's going to happen when you bet higher priced horses. I'm not trying to pick the most winners, I just want to show a positive ROI. Lots of racing to go this summer.
