I put money in the players' pool once last summer at Saratoga and got a nice return when they won. But they put, maybe, $30,000 in that day. The last few times they've played, I've had no interest because they are playing $100,000.
It just seems ludicrous to put that type of money together, not to mention a ridiculous caveman play of $90,000+. Do you play on the off chance of being the only ticket to pull down about $4,000,000 when that is ridiculously remote?
When you win, it looks great. When you lose, it looks awful.
They had a ticket alive for 6 going into the last leg. ON their main play they used 1,3,4,11, on another backup, they had 1,4,11, but on the ticket that singled the 3 in the 8th race, they only used 1,11.
The tickets seemed to inconsistently apply their opinions, which leads to another though. What of offering players the chance to link up to four or five pools each run seperately by different handicappers of their choosing, each controlling $20,000 or so?
