I hit the trifecta which paid $295. I spent $80 on many different combinations and one paid off!!! I love the horses!!!!

You realise that is -EV in the long run right?

As long as I double my money, I'm a winner!!! Looking forward to the next win.

Not if you do it right. Eliminating all the horses who will never hit the board then boxing the rest in trifectas can be a profitable strategy. You just have to be careful about who you toss.

Exactly!

I saw someone do it once. Left a decent pick of 7 horses. Covered em all.

He ended up net losing $45 cos the 3 favourites came in 1/2/3

If the favorites ran 1-2-3 every time there'd be no need for covering the other horses lol.

If you do it right it is certainly a profitable betting strategy. Thats even if you lose a small amount when the favorites go 1-2-3.

Ok.

Well, more horse tips are appreciated, and ill see if i can do a big load of box trifectas next time.

Very nice Pokerkitty. I usually only bet the horses for the Triple Crown. I do however love betting on the greyhounds. Usually go a couple times a year in the fall. They also have a poker room there that I need to go check out. Congrats again
