    Its official- I am an idiot

    I can pick the horses but I screw up betting them every single time. I am also feeling rather ill now i.e. really ill now.

    Penn National race 4

    I love the #11 who goes off 37/1 and wins. Do I play him to win? No. Place or show? No. Exactas or tris? No. I ******* put him in a super over the 6,8,9 and it comes in 11-5-9-8 with a payoff of 4.2k on a dime bet. I get fricking nothing out of the race. Oh wait I do have pic3s going but I always and I mean always miss them so I pick a 37-1 shot with a $660 exacta over what is the 2nd fave, a 5k try, and what amounts to an 84 grand super and I get nothing. Here are my remaining horses. Feel free to bet against them because I will lose them guaranteed.. DAMMIT

    Race 5: 1,7,9
    Race 6: 1,2,5,9,10

    Thanks but you have to understand my luck or lack of in pic3s. It is almost comical. I last played the horses 2 days ago. I had 4 pic3s going and hit 2 legs on all 4. In the other leg I got 2nd on every single horse including a 1/5 shot and all were paying great because I love my longshots. On 2 other races I liked 2 horses and played the wrong one and one of them paid 3k on a dime. During one stretch of races I got 2nd 8 times in a row including a 30/1 and 35/1 shot. Believe me I will miss it and it will most likely happen on the 2nd leg as it usually does. My prediction is the 6 in the 5th.

    i usually miss it on the third leg. the other day i had 10 bucks left in my account i go single in first leg and it hits 4-1.. second leg i go 2 and it hits 9-1
    now i am thinking i have this. i have 5 of the 6 horses and the only horse i dont have i dont like and is 20-1.. the payouts were between 351-1300 and i am thinking damn good on a pick 3 for 10 bucks and guess which horse led open to close
    that was my last horse wager in a week or so.. i think you are ok

    Well the #1 won the 2nd leg phew but is the heavy 1/1 fave. Now I have to endure the 3rd leg. Last week I had 75% of the field twice lol and lost both times although they did pay on 2/1 albeit not much. Why the heck do we do horses lol and especially pic3s. It is bad enough enduring one race much less 3 in a row. I am feeling a bit shaky now even after having bet 10s of thousands of races. You would think we would be used to this but apparently not.

    Paid 75/1 on BetFair ... the value lies in exchanges
    Good luck with this though.

    wtf are with these payoffs. In the last race it paid over 2k with the heavy 1/1 fave yet in this race they are not paying anything. The 7/2 ML going off 12/1 is paying 422. Even if I win I lose. wtf.

    If I put the same money on a win ticket as my pic3 I make $500. 3 of my horses pay considerably less than that. Man I am an idiot lol.

    Anyone know what is going on with the #3? 8/1 ML going off 3/2 with 6mtp. Never hit the board in his lifetime. Only 3 races this year and 2 last but is dropping from 25k to 10k. Something is going on. They certainly did not bet him in the pic4s but he is fairly low in the pic3s. Methinks someone knows something.

    dont have a program but looking at ml compared to odds these are some wide open races. 4 to 1 ml favorite geez 8-1 going off as a 5-2

    phew yet not a huge payoff and would have made much more money on a win ticket lol. I thought for sure that #8 was gonna hold on. He looked awesome even with those fractions until about 20 feet from the wire.

    the easiest thing to accomplish in racing is to get 2 out of 3 in a pik3 or 3 out of 4 in a pik4. it always happens to everyone everyday. in acuality this bet should not be played for a variety of reasons. first they force you to bet the races in a sequence consecutively of course. this screams out the possibility that one or more of the sequential races are unbettable unplayable. plus the takeout is usually excessive on these types of wagers. stick to vertical play only on the races that you like. this should start with a win bet and exactas (boxes) with a couple of other horses with your horse. you will start cashing more tickets and won't be trapped into that pik3 pik4 pie in the sky once in a month hit which may not even happen that often. also dime supers at various increments of course are a solid backup play to get a decent payoff with your key selection.
