Default $50 Belmont wager

Hi - my boss wants to wager on the Belmont and made a couple of win bets but left the remaining money in my hands with instructions for some kind of exotic bet - any suggestions? He has $50 left to play with. Please be kind, he's a nice guy and I'd hate to burn his money!!

Many thanks!

It's very simple......Tell your dipshi..t boss you put $50 to win on Slews Tizzy
and take the $50 and buy a bag of weed or whatever and have a great time.

Why can't your boss make his own bet. He must be lazy.

Most of the people I work with are the same way....since I follow the horses, they think I can place their bets for them.

If your boss is afraid of losing 50 bucks, this might not be the game for him. That said a $5 dollar tri box on the likely suspects Curlin/Hard Spun/and Rags can be had for $30 and a slightly more daring $4 tri with Hard Spun/Curlin/All
can be had for $20. Hope your boss wins.

Play a Pick 4 and try to make a big profit. Here would be my suggestion.

Belmont Race #8

3 WITH 1 WITH 1-2-3-6-8 with 3-6-7 ($15)

3 WITH 1-2-3-4 WITH 1-2-3-6-8 WITH 3 ($20)

2 WITH 1-3 WITH 1-2-3-6-8 WITH 3 ($10)

2 WITH 1 WITH 1-2-3-6-8 WITH 7 ($5)


All bets would be called as $1 pick fours and the total would be $50.

Drugs- I don't disagree with your two picks in the 8th, but to me that race is wide open. It's probably giving me the most trouble of any race on the card. . .
