Only 14% takeout on Preakness Day pick fours
 
Just thought it was worth mentioning.

It's actually a really good point, and I plan on taking out (donating?) my share from the pick 4's all day.

Nothing better than cracking a beer at 10AM and hitting a pick 4 by noon.

Covering the Nike iS8 semifinals in Jamaica on Saturday at 11 and 12:30, so I'll miss the first two pick fours. Which may not be a bad thing for my wallet. Just gonna put my effort towards the late pick four. PM me if and when you have a handle on it..

By the way, thank you for this, I have told myself to get away from P4's but at 14% with some large pools, it is very worthwhile IMO. Appreciate it

Where do you see 3 P4's, I only see 2, R4 and R9...at least that is what DRF has on the entries page

Very glad I'm missing the early sequence, as it looks very tough. The late four looks hittable and may pay something even if Big Brown wins.

Agree, I haven't looked at it fully though. My first impression is I wish the early card from Friday was the early card on Saturday, but I haven't FULLY gotten into it yet.....

it wasnt called that when I was in high school. Of course we still had a jump ball after every basket. As a matter of fact i thought that AAU had taken over HS baskets

On the topic of this tournament, one of the kids on one of the semifinal teams punched his HS coach in the face this week. Pretty funny.
