I know I'll be involved. Any horseplayer absolutely has to be.

Thanks for the headsup on this. will be much harder now for the small player though. Obviously.

I'll be taking it easy this week specifically so I can unload on Monday and try to make five figures. It's the best betting opportunity I can remember since I started playing the horses.

Mike Welsch had a similar take on ATR regarding the edge given those with deep pockets vs the little guys in having 6 - 12 horae fields. Sure you get much more coverage @ 20 cents wager, BUT, whats the difference vs a normal $2 p6 with a normal card where you can eke out a single or two to lean on with smaller fields. I know the big $$$ of $10-20 mil ia greatly enticing, but i am having conflicting feelings about participating.

Year after year you work to beat a 15% plus takeout and then you want to hesitate betting a sequence with an overall positive expectation?

I won't bet more than I can comfortably lose but I don't understand how anyone can think this isn't worth their best effort.

I'm going to play it with a large ticket but based on the sequence my confidence level is low...dint think you can take a stand anywhere...cage fighter probably most deserving single imo

Yep--a net negative takeout, and still they whine. Incredible.
