most 1/5 shots backed by Mr. Cruz
have a tendency to, well I won't say lose
but run completely off the board
even in a 4 horse field
so, with a horse called Pride of Seattle in the race
well, you can imagine the irony of the situation
and I had to unload on P.O.S.

Would you rather him have given you a loser? $.40 is $.40 cents. Ya could have went home in the hole.

4 of 5 (one scratch) is outstanding. Lets see Bellamy put up something other than baseless, wrong snide comments.

Well with 40 cent winners you have to have 5 winners to each loser in order to break even. No thanks, doesnt sound like a very good investment strategy to me. he had one scratch and gave out 5 faves and a 3rd choice. had 4 winners that paid 5.50, 6.70, 2.40, and 6.20. Basically if you bet all of em to win for two bucks(including the two losers) you got back 20.80 cents on 12 dollars in bets. Thats equal to betting 12 bucks on a horse who pays 4-5 or 3.80. I dunno if I like that investment strategy a whole lot. Actually its not equal to betting one horse at 4-5 because when you bet 6 short priced horses to win you have a lot more risk than just betting one short priced horse. Its a profit though.

well Sent to the Ft. Lauderdale trailer park to stud 8 children
I can't put up "free money", I can't pull an "ice cold" exacta
out of my hindquarters, I can't play 1/5 shots and feel
good about myself in the morning
what I can do is look at a card and find chances
for some real profit, by making spot plays
but I do appreaciate Clooney's effort

lol. you felt need to trash post a guy who got 4 of 5 right, whatever the price. Maybe if you followed him you could upgrade to a double-wide in a few years. I heard that no murders are ever solved in your beloved home state of Alabama. Seems noone has any dental records and of course DNA doesn't work in Alabama since everyones DNA is exactly the same.

But, hey, thanks for thinking of me.
