Thank you Real Quiet!
If you need a calculator to help you with your wagers there is one at Americas Best Racing. I often use one with Tris and Superfectas and
Super High 5s though I don't often play that last one.

I've invested lots of ROI$ in various pick-somethings and usually have little to show for it - either miss by 1 or get a payoff that doesn't merit the investment. But, pick-4's with all graded stakes are just too tempting to pass up. I just wish that I could borrow a few $ against next week's allotment to play my back up ticket a bit deeper [I don't want to be swamped by a Following Sea]

Race 7
$1 Pick 4: 1,2,3,7 / 1,7 / 3,5,6,7 / 3,5,6 [$96]

$0.50 Pick 4: 2,7 / 1,7 / 5,6 / 1 [$4]

Good luck to all and thank you to Real Quiet for scoring.

Well, after trying to craft a pick 4 array to cover what I thought were the contenders, there were 4 straight favorites as winners and my $96 bet won and paid $59.24. This is a tough way to make an easy living.

I'm sold on the KISS approach. Works for my simple style and seems to be returning , if I pick the right race.

Nicely done DonGuido. I think that the stewards made the right no-call. Any foul was no worse than the two that they chose to not call in the previous two races. John I was certainly busy with his "hold all tickets" call.
