HOW TO WAGER AND WIN 3/24 Laurel Park Picks/Wagers ------- For Noobs Like Cecil

Arletta · 03-24-12, 11:42 AM

So your betting a total of $10 on two horses that are 8/5 and 9/5?

Why not just do a $5 Ex Box?

Race #1

Results: 2,5,4

Win/loss: + $13.50

Total: $103.50

TrickFinger · 03-24-12, 11:43 AM

Arletta, I'm posting a bit prior to the races. I can't control the odds but in this case one horse covered and one (before the odds dropped) was for a profit.

TrickFinger · 03-24-12, 11:45 AM

I'll use exactas when the odds are right.

What is this total for?

TrickFinger · 03-24-12, 11:50 AM

I started with $100. After the race $103.50 is what I have.

Arletta · 03-24-12, 12:00 PM

o.k. I follow.

Race #2

picks: 4,2x
Results: 4,2x,1

Profit/Loss: + $19
Total: $116.50

TrickFinger · 03-24-12, 12:15 PM

Oh and by the way Cecil, 1. The $100 is an arbitrary amount 2. I bet more when I get better odds

im still working on this method/angle and interested in following along.
but i find that my best damage is done with the 3 horse exacta box (always have at least one bomb in there)

cool, understood.

cecil127 · 03-24-12, 12:22 PM

uh, your total is now +108.90 if im taking 103.50 minus the $6 in bets=97.50 then hit the win for 11.40 equals $108.90-right?

dont tell me we gotta keep track of your 'rithmatic too....

and for us noobs-be sure and keep the editing to a minimum when posting picks

Race #3

Bankroll: $108.50 (bankroll is $108.50 not $116.50)

picks 1,3,6

Wager: The 1 is at 1-9. I think the 1 horse is the clear winner here as well but at those odds I'm not going to wager.

TrickFinger · 03-24-12, 12:46 PM

Race #3

Picks: 1,3,6
Results: 1,2,4

Profit/Loss: $0

Total: $108.50

cecil127 · 03-24-12, 12:51 PM

clearly too much chalk to eat in that one. wouldnt have blamed you for going the other way there but you know your horses.

TrickFinger · 03-24-12, 01:05 PM

Race #4

Bankroll: $108.50

Picks: 1,4,5

Wager: Again the odds aren't good enough here for an exacta, although I'm considering the 5 at 11-1.

$5 1 win
$5 4 win

Arletta · 03-24-12, 01:10 PM

Mistake tossing the 2 IMO.

Arletta · 03-24-12, 01:14 PM

or not... Yuck

TrickFinger · 03-24-12, 01:17 PM

Race #4

Picks: 1,4,5
Results: 1,4,3,5

Profit/Loss: -$2

Bankroll: $106.50

TrickFinger · 03-24-12, 01:18 PM

Lost a bit on that one. Betting 1 horse to cover and 4 horse to make money. Odds dropped on the 1 though.

TrickFinger · 03-24-12, 01:36 PM

Race #5
Bankroll: $106.50

Picks: 7,5,4

Wagers:

$3 box (7,5)
$3 box (7,4)
$6 7 win
$6 5 win

if the odds drop below 2-1 on the 7 horse I'm not going to place the exacta wagers.

cecil127 · 03-24-12, 01:43 PM

i ex boxed the 7/5 for a buck....if youre sold i am.

TrickFinger · 03-24-12, 01:46 PM

hmm luckily the odds stayed above 2-1 until the race started!

cecil127 · 03-24-12, 01:47 PM

damn, 8/5 scare you off or did ya play that one?
exacta should pay decent....

cecil127 · 03-24-12, 01:50 PM

ahh, theres that 3 horse exacta turning a profit in the last one.

i always pick the wrong damn one when excluding a runner going with a 2 horse box.

TrickFinger · 03-24-12, 01:50 PM

Close cecil

Picks: 7,5,4
Results: 7,4,5

Profit/Loss: + $17.20 for $6 on 7 win + $64.50 for $3 7,4 exacta

Bankroll: $164.20

TrickFinger · 03-24-12, 01:51 PM

I played it Cecil it was fluctuating between 2-1 and 3-1 before the race and didnt drop to 8-5 till the race started.

cecil127 · 03-24-12, 01:54 PM

$163.20 sound about right?

*$16.20 return on the $6 win on the #7*
-you have it as $17.20

TrickFinger · 03-24-12, 01:56 PM

Sounds alright.

TrickFinger · 03-24-12, 02:06 PM

Race #6

Bankroll $163.20

Picks: 7,3,4

The odds on 7 are poor but the only horse that could compete was 6 and its scratched.

Wager: $4 straight exacta on 7,3 and $4 straight exacta on 7,4

TrickFinger · 03-24-12, 02:08 PM

I'm also placing $2 on 3 win and $2 on 4 win in case they bust my exactas.
