I don't see any that increase their mythical $1,000 bank roll .

Which shows why betting every race is a fool's errand.

Great job HHH. To have a positive ROI during that meet is a nice accomplishment.

Kudos to HHH for being the best of the crew...

I do have a question: Is there some info missing? How do you have a positive ROI ("beating the Saratoga meet") and yet not increase the bankroll from its original balance ($1000)?

maybe this scorecard is based on 395 races at $2.00 per race

OK, I was able to get to the site and now I think I understand.

If you wagered $2 for 393 races ($786 total) and the balance went to $812, you'd be $26 ahead, beating the meet. (this is all obviously paraphrasing what HHH said in his blog)

So, to compare apples and apples, his $1000 mythical bankroll, which he did not use all of, would have been $1026...
