you do know your laurel (and maybe tbreds in general) i will say that and please dont take this as me being an asshole but:
with that kinda insight/skills you really could/should have more than (a lil over) doubled your $.
trifectas are your friend

$2 straight tri bets wouldve run you 20 bucks and returned ~$100 (5x your $) not to mention the 2nd race where the tri was very hitable (to you!)

*not that doubling your $ is anything to sneeze at....nicely done

[TrickFinger]

Do you play trifectas often? I never really have, I just hate the feeling of missing them by one horse! Anyways, hope you did alright today..

[cecil127]

3 horse tri boxes(for a buck)? rarely. although i hear keying one horse over 3 others ($6 for the 1 dollar tri) is the smartest bet at the track.
50 cent tri keying one horse over 2 others, yes. often. anytime i can get a tri bet in with 2 horses boxed for a buck im pretty much nosing the program

couple of standardbred tracks that offer 50 cent tris are:

balmoral, maywood, monticello and pompano.

does laurel offer 50 cent tri's? do any tbred tracks? they must....i just dont play them enough to know.

you into dime supers?

[TrickFinger]

Laurel doesn't accept 50 cent tris. Haven't played any 10 cent supers yet haha.

I am considering daily doubles though.. I'm pretty standard, a few exactas here and there. I know at Oaklawn they have daily classics which is pick 6 in a row, which I've seen hit for over 100k.

.10 super is the best bet going.
