my real question is how much do people who buy the TG sheets bet per race. Obviously if you bet $2 - $5 per race it doesnt make sense to buy them, but where is the threshold? do people who buy them bet $50 per race, $100, $1000 per race.

Rob, when I get home from work we can talk. I was in your exact spot about two years ago, converted, and BAAM. I pick winners and I have steadily grown my annual output per year, mostly becuase I am picking more winners.

As of right now, I am putting through about $40-$60 a race, top out at a like $400 a race(unless special circumstance) and min is about $12 per race

Alot of mind wagers in the $40 to $60 range are double/pk3/pk4.

I think those type wagers are what makes thorograph top notch. It doesn't necessarily pick winners for you, but it does eliminate horses, thus maximizing your wagers.

Pre-TG, I was playing $1 pick three tickets that cost me $24-$48...Now, I can play a $1 pick three ticket in the $8 to $16 range, and punch it a couple times. So my amount didn't change, but how many times I hit it did.

Perfect example is SA yesterday. I loved Noble Court/Balance so I singled them in the last two legs of a pick three ticket. Now, I did'nt like the favorite in the 7th race (Claiming 10k race, monteleone horse that was 6/5) Essentially, to me, he looked like crap on the sheets so I tossed him, and played a $20 pick three, 7/2/4 and $10 pick three 6,8/2/4, there was value there by tossing that 6/5 and finding the other winners, AND that payout got screwed by that Austin horse getting scratched the gate, probably would have paid $25-28 per $1 if he stays in, that horse wasn't being Noble Court, and Balance won easily. ...Total of $40 wagered and I got back $326 or something.

The final pick 3 at SA was great. Paid a whopping $8. Almost as good as when Invasor won the Don for the last leg that paid $5.
