Why is the C picks for race #14 at Gulfstream 2,7 when your next two picks were 5,11, or is that just a misprint

Not a misprint. It's the difference between playing the race vertically for a score (keying Simplification/Charge It with exotics candidate prices like 5-Pappacap/9-O Captain/11-Steal Sunshine under) versus horizontally (multis) covering win candidates like 2-Classic Causeway/7-White Abarrio that I'm a bit 'against' (but are far from impossible)..

There's nothing gained in selections by tabbing the top 4 favorites (3-2-6-7). It's more likely to me that a a price or two works their way into the tri/super, so I'm playing with 10-1 Pappacap, 20-1 O Captain & 30-1 Steal Sunshine with the 2 logicals I like best in Simplification and Charge It.

So look at the tri plays like this.. If any of the prices get in the tri with Simplification or Charge It, you'll get a nice score. If 2 of the prices come in under Simplification or Charge It, you'll get a bonanza. I'll also add a small win saver on the 3 prices as sanity insurance.

3-6 w/ 3-6 w/ 5-9-11 (2x1x3)

3-6 w/ 5-9-11 with 3-6 (2x3x1)

3-6 w/ 5-9-11 w/ 5-9-11 (2x3x2)

how would that method hit twice? no questioning,, just dont get it thanks

[Dahoss]

I've hit the trifecta the last 25 years of every race run during that time. I just box all/all/all.

I'd love to discuss further but I don't have much time between hopping on my private jet and banging my super model wife.

I have always been in love with Horses since my first visit at 8 years of age to Santa Anita. Dropped a note years ago thanking Steve for what he does and mentioned my opportunity to work with Gordon Jones at Sams town in Late 90s.
He and I did a few shows in sports books where we correlated ML baseball parlays, similar to horses.

Pick 3s 4s pick 6, but in parlays, it was a lot of fun a quite profitable.

Most respect I have for any professional sports handicappers, are with the horses.

Would love to do The Byk Show, but you dont hear any D-listers with Steve.

LOL Really appreciate you Mr. Byk

You’d love to discuss and have been invited to do so.

Maybe a “I misspoke” vs. this misdirection/bootlicking that hasn’t fooled anyone?

Let us know.

It is pretty simple to understand. I respect Gamlin and will answer a bit of the question. Truthfully I am not real fond of divulging betting tactics as after all we are competing for the same exotic pools. Giving away Trifecta formulas only hinders the pot.

This is why Steve is a class act. The most selfless capper and genuine guy in the business. I shall strive to understand that way of thinking and answer Gamlin on a PM.

Fantastic day yesterday Steve!!

Tell us you’re full of **** without actually saying it

[Dahoss]

In an effort to be fair, I’ll explain why people seem perplexed at what you’re saying. It makes no sense.

You can’t box the bet you describe. You can’t go two horses over three horses over all and then box that.

You said you had this great formula. It made no sense so people questioned you…to which you responded you’d love to discuss it. Then you said you’re not divulging secrets.

If you’re just trolling…Bravo.

Well you cared enough to respond. But I like this new attitude now that you’ve been exposed as being a fraud.

It’s okay. Lots of people are completely full of sh.it online.

I do not troll, and am easy to find. Ibetnetworks.com is one place you can start, as I do podcasts for their network. We rarely touch on horses , but when we do, I always Mention Mr. Byk, as the one that folks should follow and can learn from.

I have also referenced in the past similar acquaintances that Steve and I have, like Joanne Jones, which is how I met my wife. Grew up around Santa Anita, and no rude sir I do not Troll. Been a Professional sports handicapper for well over 30 years, after drinking my way out of Baseball.

My Apologies for your bad attitude as I find this website a happy place to gain information and a wealth of knowledge. Great Horse cappers are a dying breed, I wish there was more opportunity for a younger generation to learn and understand the game.

Good night, may your anger and ego subside with the dawn.

Masters week!

No one cares.

Gotta be better ways to try and get on Steve’s show than this.

You should apologize for being full of sh.it.

And a shame for this site. Get in your bed , dumb dumb.

Tell us again about how you met your wife. That was fascinating stuff. Your podcasts much be quite the listening experience.

You started this. I tried to be civil because I’m always open to learning something new. But everyone saw through your BS immediately.

You might want to check your ego at the door next time. Or keep making up stories. Probably more fun for everyone that way.

[Dahoss]

You’re going to drag my message board moniker on your podcast no one listens to? Oh no!

I’m so scared!

Since you like to deal in facts, let’s see you prove ONE instance where you hit your proposed trifecta and got paid twice with it.

Should be VERY easy to provide just ONE example.

YOU said you have this method. You were asked to clarify and you said you’d love to discuss. When pressed to discuss you shut up and then went on this tirade because you know you got caught. Then you tried to parlay it as a way of getting on to Steve’s show. LOL

The thing is…you have no idea who my acquaintances are. You have no idea what my resume is, or what I’ve done in the sport. You don’t know any of this because I don’t need to boast about it on a message board.

You do. A twitch feed….LOLOLOLOLOL

The only one that is mad is you. I’m laughing at you. Like everyone else is. Just like everyone on Covers did before they banned you.

You should listen to DaHoss, man, they have a special armorded car on reserve for him at Saratoga for his big days. Oh, and he would like you to know that he is a real man.

[Dahoss]

No one cares.

Can you prove what you are saying? It’s a yes or no.

And it will be proven again in the derby, and the Preakness, and the Belmont, and breeders cup, and any other race with a large field for that matter.

I will prove it like a professional and even use Steve's picks to do it!

Now thats a bet!!!

Cool...where is it documented so we can take a look?

[Dahoss]

Just want to clarify, this bet isn't available on ADW's right?
