WagerMate likes a mix of favorites and long shots today…

I’ll place $2 win bets on every horse that WagerMate says has an ROI over 25% and I’ll also place $1 exacta box bets on the top 3 picks in each race.

WagerMate’s picks for Friday…

I’ll place $2 win bets on every horse that WagerMate says has an ROI over 25% — that’s 7 horses on Friday.

I’ll also place $1 exacta box bets on the top 3 picks in each race.

Best of Luck!

Not even close on the superfecta.

WagerMate goes for long shots again…

Let’s make the bet simple: a super box of 2, 5, 7, 8, and 9.

Ummm, well, the ROI is easy to calculate; zero.

The only thing WagerMate got right: doubting Tiz The Law.

I’m using 8 in place of 10.

After a couple of scratches, WagerMate is willing to admit that Tiz the Law has a chance…

I’ll place win bets on 2 and 12.

I’ll use Tiz the Law in the rest of my bets.

I’ll bet the exacta of 16, 17, 18 over 2, 10, 12.

I’ll bet a trifecta of 16, 17, 18 over 2, 10, 12, 16 over 2, 10, 12, 16.

My superfecta bet will be 16, 17, 18 over 2, 10, 12, 16, 17, 18 over 2, 10, 12, 16, 17, 18 over 2, 10, 12, 16, 17, 18.

Have fun!

WagerMate refuses to love Tiz the Law…

I’ll place win bets on 2 and 12.

I’ll use Tiz the Law in the rest of my bets.

I’ll bet the exacta of 17 over 2, 6, 10, 12.

I’ll bet a trifecta of 17 over 2, 6, 10, 12, 16 over 2, 6, 10, 12, 16.

My superfecta bet will be 17 over 2, 6, 10, 12, 16, 18 over 2, 6, 10, 12, 16, 18 over 2, 6, 10, 12, 16, 18.

Enjoy!

The favorite was first, so that was a small payoff on the Win ticket, and a small payoff on the Exacta. Let’s not calculate the ROI this time.

Pick 3 in Race 9 is now 3/1289/178.

Pick3 in Race 10 is now 1289/178/79.

What, wait, the Belmont Stakes is *before* the Kentucky Derby? I’m so confused.

Luckily, WagerMate knows what to do…

OK, we’ll do win bets on 1,2,8,9.

And box the same horses in the exacta and superfectas.

Let’s go wild. Race 8, Pick 3 4/3/1289. Race 9 Pick 3 3/1289/138. Race 10 Pick 3 1289/138/19.

Staff safe & good luck.

I had one of the win bets pay off, and two of the exactas. That was a return of $49.30 on $132 worth of bets, so a very poor ROI.

Hope you did better!

WagerMate’s picks for Saturday…

I’ll use the usual scheme: $2 win bets on every horse that WagerMate says has an ROI over 25% — that’s 11 horses on Saturday.

I’ll also place $1 exacta box bets on the top 3 picks in each race.

Enjoy!

With #5 being scratched, I’ll now have win bets on 3 & 9, and an exacta box on 3 & 4 & 9.

WagerMate’s picks for Friday…

As before, I’ll place $2 win bets on every horse that WagerMate says has an ROI over 25% — that’s 9 horses on Friday.

I’ll also place $1 exacta box bets on the top 3 picks in each race.

Have fun!

The win bet on Sir Winston paid $22.40, so I ended up with a profit for the day.  Crushed the Belmont Stakes for a profit of 80 cents!

Hope you had at least that much success.

WagerMate loves the long shots…

I will bet to win on 2, 5, and 7.

I’ll box the same three horses in an exacta.

I’ll also bet 2, 5, 7, 8, 9 over 2, 5, 7, 8, 9 over 2, 5, 7, 8, 9 over 2, 5, 7, 8 in the superfecta — I just can’t ignore War of Will.

Ouch.

On to the Belmont Stakes….

WagerMate’s picks…

I’ll bet #7 to win.

For the exacta, I’ll bet on 4,7 over 2,4,7,9,12.

For the superfecta I’m using 2,4,7,9 over 2,4,7,9,12 over 2,4,7,9,12 over 2,4,7,9,12.

Enjoy!
