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!
Well, Maximum Security ended up being the favorite, and the first horse across the finish line… for what that’s worth. None of my exotic bets would have paid off even if Maximum Security wasn’t DQed.
Updated run…
New exacta: 5, 7, 10, 21 over 5, 7, 10, 16, 17, 21.
I’ll box 5, 7, 10, 16, 17, 21 in the trifecta.
WagerMate likes at least one long shot…
I’m going to bet an exacta with 5, 7, 12, 21 over 5, 7, 12, 16,17, 21.
…which mixes the WagerMate picks with some other contenders.
I’ll also box 5, 7, 12, 16,17, 21 in the trifecta.
I lost all of my win bets, and only the last exacta bet paid off — it paid $130.80.
The bets cost a total of $126, so I ended up with a small profit. I didn’t enjoy losing 13 races in a row, but Gunnevera coming in second made for a nice exacta in the Breeders’ Cup Classic.
Due to a scratch, my exacta bet will change…
…I’ll box 10-2-1. That also means one less win bet for me.
The race 11 contenders have also changed due to a scratch…
… which changes my win bet, and the exacta.
WagerMate’s contenders for Saturday…
The Breeders’ Cup races are races 3 though 11. As usual, WagerMate likes a mix of favorites and long shots.
I’ll place $2 win bets on every horse that WagerMate says has an ROI over 25% — that’s 16 horses on Saturday (including 4 in race 10!).
I’ll also place $1 exacta box bets on the top 3 picks in each race.
Looks like I’ll be rooting for some unpopular horses…
Best of luck to you.
