I'm in the midst of another wicked losing streak. Too bad there's no way to know if one is in the middle, the end or maybe the start of a new personal/world record. I wonder how others handle it. I use a 5 step process...
1. Cut down on the size of my bets, usually $10 to $5 to $2 on win bets, $5 down to $2 on str exactas.
2. Raise MAO on win bets from 5/2 to 5/1, conditional.
3. Start boxing or wheeling on exotics, going for increased strike rate at ROI's expense.
4. Take a break, play on paper.
5. Quit.
I have reached step 4 in the past, I'm looking at step 3 now.
For my posts here at PA, I try to put up longshots, so usually go with Key Boxing, my other plays are all straight Exactas and sometimes, Trifectas.
Try to end the current streak with these, bet Win if odds >5/1 and Key Box Exactas
Dover R5............1 w/5,6 ...Charlie-6/1
Rail draw could offset class up, Like the 5 enough to box all 3
The BigM R10........1,4 .....Luck Goes Around-4/1
Won't get my MOA on the 1 but like boxing 1-4 with Sears driving the 4
Meadows R7..........5 w/7,6 ...Tahiti Springs-12/1
Aaron "Tailgates" Stillings the 7? The 6 gets Palone for the first time
Rideau-Carleton R4..5 w/2,6 ...Scilla De Chakrika-8/1
Lifetime 6 wins, Earnings $42108. How does she get in this race?
(Nw 2 (fm 3) Races Or Nw $30,000 (fm $37,500) Lifetime)
Good Luck All
Can I wish myself Good Luck?:)
