One can make just as much money, if not more, playing in pools that aren't "guaranteed," but it's the challenge of beating a larger amount of players.

I'm guilty. It's just one of those days where I have to play -- though I have found that the undercard is ripe for wagering that day.

At the same time, I'll be playing into the pick-4 pool ending in the Derby, there's something about potentially being live to the Derby in a pick-4 wager that's irresistible.
