![]() When I used to bet the horses across the board, I had friends who just put money on the nose! Time after time these guys "lost their shorts" cuz they didn't have a Place bet on their horse. How about you folks....do you WP,or use an exacta or what?

![]() I guess I just wondered about the current thought of strategy when Liking a horse to win, but using a saver. Probably more conservative to make a place wager than an exbox!

![]() For me it depends on how the day is going.
If I am alive to a pick three that is paying $40 and $50 per $1 and I have it 20 times, and I started with $400 on the day, I have $200 in my pocket, I will try and figure out how to spread that $200 into the race to get me to +$100 guaranteed on the day. When it works, and I don't hit the Pick three, I always toss that "+100" on a 6 or 7/1 for the hell of it, usually on the turf somewhere. Now if I start the day with $400 and I am already up $200, and alive to the above, I'll look at the race to make sure I didn't miss something, but i'll trust my eyes in this spot. My eyes are deceiving me now though. I better turn it around come three weeks |

While I agree it is gambling, all investing is a 'gamble'. But the stock market is not classified as 'gambling' like going to the boat, racetrack, casino, or your poker game is. I personally consider the stock market as investing. Just like I consider carefully calculated wagers on something like a race horse or a sports team. If I put $100 on the Mariners when I am out in Vegas, I am doing it to 'gamble' and watch the game. But when I put dimes on the Cubs against the White Sox, it was an investment becuase I had a huge read on how they were playing, and knew the Cubs would sweep them. Matter of fact, and this obviously can't be confirmed, but when I was in the WSOP, I asked my table if anyone knew where I could find odds on the Cubs sweeping the White Sox that weekend. |

As for your talk about attitude, I am not the one that has done a complete 180 like you have recently. Totally changed, for the worse |
