    Talk me out of this boys!

    I'm sitting here scared as fuk about my bets for tomorrows Phreakness. These are the biggest bets I'd laid in my life. I'm thinking of cancelling them. I'm a brok dik fuk and it took me two days of horse race gambling to turn my $60 deposit into this.

    if you feel totally sure about a pick and your wager size on it reflects that confidence, then you do it.....realizing still it may or may not win.

    but if you feel like it's a guess, maybe you just think it's great "value" odds being offered, and you're not sure at all about the pick winning to begin with, then it's probably wise to just go small if you really want some action on the event.

    Words of wisdom. But I was confident on the K . Derby killed that bet and i'd of not only hit the exacta but the trifecta too if I had no last minute cancelled it. I wish the dang image would of loaded instead of me having to link it.

    Glad to see you think like I do. He should win tomorrow if for no other reason than to build up hype for the Belmont. But I see him going down hard in that race. If my shit hits though it's over 3k as long as it stays above $9 per $2 which should be easy with this pool.

    One of the last things I’d go big on would be the ponies. I’m all for going big but wouldn’t here. Too many variables. Best of luck either way.

    I think I'm going to go about it different. I'm going to do two exacta boxes. They are basically the same bets and same price I already have but allow for that surprise horse to sneak into second play maybe giving me a huge payout and lessor headache.
    5/1-8 $125
    7/1-8 $250

    The race finished 7-8-6 so the 7/All for $250 netted around 3400 i believe

    If that's true...Good Magic's very late crash-out was golden.

    you guys must not be fully awake

    guy who posted about what woulda paid didn't say he played that card, neither did the OP
