What does it take to make a living at punting?

Philcski Merry xmas to you

I do not create value by spreading, or picking up enough prices as you term it. I look for top heavy (something to five) favorites that do not figure.

The 7th today at FG is a good example. Codes Destiny was favored in her last at even money after winning her debut. I determined she had beat nothing and was very vulnerable. I played a 2x2x2x3 ticket eliminating her. The $2 parlay came back about $700 but the $2 pick 4 returned some $2600!
The winners paid $5 , $17 , $7 , and $8. www.nola.com/forums/startinggate/ post #7479

The largest pick 4 for me last year was at Keeneland. I singled Coin Silver and he paid $25 or so leading to big payoff.

Incidentally in the Fg 7th today Finally Alone qualifies as a vulnerable favorite and Codes Destiny would be no surprise. Pretty Peso the winner of the anchor leg of the above pick 4 also figures as does the bug on Camille's Choice. BBB
