$200 is a good amount. If you are only going to bet the BC races that gives you $33 bucks per race. But there is a strategy you could employ with the Pick 3. If you hit the first leg you do not need to make a new bet for the 2nd leg because you are already "alive." That allows you to skip a race and then you can roll that $33 set aside for the 2nd leg and start a pick 3 in the 3rd leg. So then you have $66. Does this make sense?
