So 3 x 3 x 3 x 2 x 5 is a $540 play. Well, frankly, even splitting it I wouldn't have put that in. Now, with multiple tickets perhaps it would have been less, but the Sa 4th winner would not have been an A which means somehow the SA 5th winner would have had to have been at least a B and I'm not sure that would have happened....at least for me. Thus, the lessen is, especially in complicated bets, saying " I could have hit that " is simply BS as having the winners and getting them all on the same ticket are two very different things.....at least depending on bankroll or investment.

yes exactly if you look at our group plays mag 5 thread..i tried to back the strongest angles as the ticket unfolded.. i was wrong that honey rider was the correct play to go big with..in fact the horse you and steve also liked jamb..was the one to include heavy......
