I also told him I mostly play pick 3's and 4's. I told him I post here, he will register soon he says. Question is if your a doubles only player, what do the will pays have to be showing to justify a 3-2 double for $5. So 30$ tickets? Or anything along those lines? 3-3 for $5=45$. He said he trys to see payouts of at least 20$ for 2$. I told him that feels way light especially on the $45 tickets. Thanks to anyone who responds without being a douche.

I must admit I do like wearing the jean shorts and look mighty spectacular in them at 47 years old. Not as sharp as the guy in the Florida state shirt but not bad.

Anyway back to the original question RHT. I mainly play daily doubles. They seem to give the most bang for my buck especially at Toga and are easier to hit then pick 3's and 4's. The way I play them is 2 horses in one race and a single in the other. I go $20 dd so each bet is $40. I look for nice long shots that can win. Sometimes if you string a few of these together you can really cash in.
