Silly question
 
Was wondering if you could do a tri quick pick with a certain array of numbers? Was thinking I'll take the top 12-15 horses in the Derby and do a bunch of quick picks and see if I can hit something.

Find your fourteen horses..put their numbers in a hat and create your own quick picks.

LOL :D

Why not just put all of the numbers in a hat, pick em at random and go and bet them?

Sorry... I think I was posting at the same time and took too long. Oops. :o

It'd be fun to do that kind of thing for shiats and grins, but I'd never throw away more than a few bucks on something like that. My family and I do something similar every year by putting all of the names in a hat and each drawing like 3 names... whoever has the winner gets $20 or something. It's just fun, but nothing to take seriously.

Hey, don't knock it. Someone hit 50 Gs a couple years ago and only did 50 $1.
Somebody has to win, might as well be me! :D

You know..its funny you say that because every year everyone gets fired up for one race and by the time you play Oaks/Derby doubles, exotics, favorite numbers, anniversaries, and then our real serious bets..its easy to have 2-3 hundred invested in one race. Someday, I'm just going to put $20 WP on the horse I like and call it good.

whorstman 04-16-2007 06:35 PM

Me at the window
 
Hey, can I get $30 worth of tri quick picks on 5-15 only?

Does that sound good? :rolleyes:

Nice Hat :)

With all the Curlin & Street Sense talk....you're Scat Daddy is the forgotten horse. :D
I believe the "Bykster" said today on ATRAB that he's had the most traditional route to the Derby.

I'm itching already. I took Nick's advice and put $10 on Any Given Saturday.
It's my only future bet.

Wish I could just do the $20 WP... I'll normally spend a couple hundred on derby day, but I look forward to kissing that money goodbye. It's all in good fun. :cool:

I always kiss my money away on Derby day. Cant remembered the last time I made money on the Derby.

I actually made a few bucks last year derby weekend because of my win bet on Barbaro... had Ermine to WIN, but didn't bet her WP. :mad:
