Kentucky Derby...and Beyond?

[Sharkey]

Congrats on cashing your ticket though bud, that should put you up nicely for the day, no?

Yeah, I basically doubled my money today, T. Bet about $60 today and got a return of about $115. I'll take that any day of course, especially considering the way the day started.

 

[Sharkey]

Ehh, what can you do, it's just funny how luck works. Most of the time when it tells me that the race has already started (even though it hasn't) if I keep hitting submit, the bet will eventually go through. Not that time of course. I shouldn't really complain though, I'm sure there are much better options out there for betting the horses.

You ever try to book that's specific to the ponies, T? Being in the US you should have tons of options and most will give out sign up bonuses and stuff I'm sure.

 

[Sharkey]

I threw a few bucks on the #11 horse here to win and place in this next race at Mahoning Valley. Don't have the PP's, though. Just based on the Brisnet power play report.

 

[Sharkey]

Cancelled those bets. Don't want the favourite.

 

[Sharkey]

Good thing I did cancel too as that one only managed 4th.

I've been thinking about it Shark. I do have an OTB account but I've never deposited any money into it out of pure laziness. It is nice having all my gambling money in one place, but I need something more user friendly for betting racing. I'll have to look into what the best option is.

And the #2 is 4/5 right now. Lovely. The other two mentioned there are in the 8/1 to 10/1 range currently, so maybe I'll just key the #2 horse over both in exactas and be done with it.

 

[Sharkey]

Went with the #7 to win and place for $2/$4, and then those two straight exactas for $2 each.

 

[Sharkey]

1st, 3rd, and 4th. Close, but not quite good enough.

 

[Sharkey]

I love you Mahoning Valley. I really do. But that's not going to stop me from taking all the money off your customers tomorrow. Until then.

Edited to test out another new addition I've been thinking about adding the last couple of days regarding pace and race shape.

 

[Sharkey]

I'm going to try the early daily double for $5 each at Mahoning Valley by using the #3 Backsplash and #6 That's Exciting in race 1, and then using just the #3 Where's Woody in race 2.

In race 1 I'm also going to try a $5 exacta box with the #3 Backsplash and #6 That's Exciting. I'll also make a win bet on whichever one is the better price of the two as they're about to enter the gates.

 

[Sharkey]

Went with the #6 horse here to win and place for $5/$10.

 

[Sharkey]

Overturn it please.

 

[Sharkey]

Yes!

 

[t6p]

Yes!

Wow Shark, heck of way to start the day. Congrats!

Wow Shark, heck of way to start the day. Congrats!

I really didn't make fuck all on that race, T. About $6 profit since I missed the exacta box and the #6 was only 2/1 (co-favourite with the #3 and #5). I'm just happy that a call went my way for once, and that my double is still alive in this next race.

 

[Sharkey]

Went with a $5 straight exacta here with the #5 Pacific Image over the #3 Where's Woody and nothing else since I already have the #3 covered on the win side in the double. Plus, with this being a one turn race, I kinda want to observe the track more than anything to see if it's playing outside again or to the inside like it was yesterday.

Gotcha. I had just gotten back from lunch and pulled up the live feed. I saw the #6 at 7/1, stupidly thinking I was looking at the race 1. Rooting for you to finish that double here bud.
