Last season I floated just above break-even about two-thirds of the way through and then started going for some steep prices in hopes of making up ground. Generally speaking, I'll make win bets where I'm confident and maybe a place or show wager when intrigued by a price horse. Today, however, I went $50W and $50P on separate horses...a new angle for me. And yesterday, BTW, Kevin Krigger totally rode my horse in a way I didn't expect (front-running). Of course he faded to 4th. <br /><br />I play under bill(y)hobo...forget whether I included the y or not in my moniker. <br /><br />2 coffee mugs...nice. Most colorful, I'm sure.Bill Holobowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06267163445590752501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768887527712554781.post-42975739217868112202012-07-19T12:41:13.333-04:002012-07-19T12:41:13.333-04:00Bill,
The part you didn't mention about the D...Bill,<br /><br />The part you didn't mention about the Del Mar contest is losing bets decrease your bankroll. This adds another level to the contest because players that stab at long shots are penalized when they lose.<br /><br />My strategy is to only make a selection in the races that I have an opinion on and to not necessarily bet it all to win on one horse.<br /><br />Depending on the race I will bet it all to Win on one horse, bet to Win and Place on one horse or bet two horses to Win.<br /><br />This strategy has worked well for me in past years. I finished in the Top 20 last year and won a consolation prize (2 Del Mar coffee mugs).<br /><br />My username is aparagon4u, what name are you playing under?<br /><br />LennyEquinometryhttp://www.equinometry.comnoreply@blogger.com
