Double your money back guarantee?

Does Mr B offer a guarantee. (insert joke here)

They have guts to make that offer, I'm going to miss them.

Flag it for spam. We don't need more people driving away new blood to the game.

I wonder if that is the group that gives out 6 different horses to 6 different clients in the same race?

Here is what I see as positive about the ad:
1 horse per race; double your money back; location Hollywood means a short meet and not all year; Brings PR to racing.
Negative: No cheering bet wiiner and no winner's circle horse pix.

What that said was you get $40 if their selections don't return a profit in either the win pool, place pool, or show pool.

They have three chances to get it right. For them.

Does that change the odds for them, if there are any math guys out there, is this even possible?

"our selections will show a profit for the day , or we'll give you double your money back. Simple as that.

You'll receive at least 5 selections for USA/Canada Thoroughbred races,

We select only ONE horse per race.

If our selections have not shown a profit in ****either**** the Win, Place or Show pools, we've failed for the day, and we will happily return Double your payment for the day"

True or not, that means that their 5+ horses will at least come in to show.

No, that means that they intend to turn a profit in one of those pools, regardless of the number of their picks that hits the board, and thereby keep your money.

If someone said, "I can make a profit betting shows" I'm not buying it. Same thing for w or p, I'm not sure they're tilting the odds at all, I'm guessing they might think they are.

Your microscopic analysis soumds better than mine; But the fact that we have to study the 'guarantee' this close means it has to be BS!
