Players tear up Hollywood Park Last Night.

7 out of 8 races ran true to form,

Everybody should have won if you played, No excuses.


What ever one played, ex , tri's , pick 3's , pick 4's or even the pick 6,

No body should have lost.

Track takeout makes it impossible for everyone to collectively do better than lose between 16-20% of every dollar bet, no matter how easy the winners were to handicap.

What if you only play horses @ 9/1 or better.

Not everybody plays cheap priced horses i suspect.

Ridiculous post.

[DeanT]

I was out and about last night at a simo-centre so I played the early pick 4.

I hit it!

God I'm good.

..... Until I checked my tickets and realized that I lost $70.

Actually, that is not completely true.

I recall seeing entire meets where there were so many huge longshots that hit that you could have wagered $2 on every horse in every race and been profitable. Of course, the favorite-players wind up holding the bag so, in full disclosure, you are correct; not everyone can win.

okay mcChalkster

Of course, the favorite-players wind up holding the bag so, in full disclosure, you are correct; not everyone can win. I have tried all of that. Wow Chalk came in. Go chalk, the longshots come in. Go longshots, the chalk comes in. I even tried to switch to strong chalk when I had an ifffy longshot. The longshot won and I felt like finding a bridge. Stick with the overlays. Chalk will just get your money back. Nothing like a Tyler Baze $24.60. to get back in the picture with profits. Friday Nights are screwed up at Hollywood, just a frickin crap-shoot. I knew choker - Big Wags was gonna lose again. He's like - Mind The Minister - he does not want to win. I pulled the bet and of course he lost. General Dan, . Mind The Minister, Big Wags, Choke City, when they run, that is an easy pass. But -Get Funky my perennial choker. Has won twice. The 3 chokers I mentioned are like my horseplaying career. Can't Win, Won't Win. Something is f------. Up. LOL

[Stillriledup]

If the pick 4s pay 40 dollars, i get murdered.

If they pay 5,000, i have a good shot to have had it.

You gotta go AGAINST the public in order to win.

[Hedevar]

Not all of us bet chalk.

6 out of 8 won by the favorite. The 3rd and 4th won by 3-1 shots that were not favored. And I had a very bad day all over the country. HollyPark just made things worse. :bang:

[JustRalph]

the worst card I have seen in a long time. I looked at the card and after the 2nd race realized what was coming........... placed one bet all night.

The 8 horse in the last race to win/place and walked away from the computer to do something else........

Sucked!

[fmolf]

with their small fields it is impossible to make money even using the chalk in the exactas.At tracks or in races with bigger fields i can and do make money using the chalk on top of a few live longshots.Of course i check Barry Meadows "exacta overlay chart and bet no underlaid combinations....

[Stillriledup]

No hollywood entries for Wednesday?

THANK YOU GOOD POST

nobody did lose and PAers were losing SANITY for a brief and unprecedented occasion

I was popping champagne bottles :cool:
BlueShoe was on webcam just throwing money in the air
DeanT had his 'swagger back
JustRalph was on the microphone
Stillriledup bought a big-body luxury sports sedan...

[statepierback]

No body should have lost.

I won enough Friday night that there was no need to place a bet the rest of the weekend. The only race I missed was the fourth and I'm mad at myself for missing that.

I guess you lost your butt friday night, however, thank you for your opinion

Racing Thurs. to Monday.

[Dahoss9698]

Weird to read a thread where horseplayers are excited about a night where the average win mutuel was $5.20 and average exacta was $24. Not the kind of night I would think players would like.

[surfdog89]

No Racing Wednesday but instead Thursday Night card.......... looks like more then 4 horses per race............

When you put $20.00 to win on five horses and win all five, add it up my boy


Not a bad night for me.

Congrats I guess, but good luck with that strategy most days.

The only way to play is betting favorites to win? Like I said, good luck.

[BlueShoe]

Somehow I see no connection whatsoever between the number of winning favorites on the card and the bottom line of the player. Faves could win every race or not win a single race, and our results could be good, bad, or indifferent, since most of us play horses at mixed odds. The exception to this, of course, is the dyed-in-the-wool chalk player that just cannot pass up all those lovely short prices.

When you walk out a couple of hundred dollars ahead, too me, that's nice

I'm not really sure what you are getting at. You won. Great. You started a thread about it. Double great. Other than patting yourself on the back for hitting win bets on chalk, what is your point here?

Should everyone start a thread when they win?

Now i can start a thread every leap year

no, however, they ran to form, most people that complain, lost

it shows on some responses, that people have to say something when they lost and it shows

[Stillriledup]

I think we all should start threads when we win. But, that's just me.

If by action you mean a lot of laughs....yes, you are right.

Why exactly? Is winning such a lost art with people here? I don't think that is true. There are a lot of sharp people here. I just don't think they post much because it's tough to wade through all of the stupid stuff.

Not really.

I think that if you are a regular contributor here and are used to 'wading thru' stuff, you get to become very good at knowing what you want to read and what you don't want to read. I know the types of threads that i want to read and participate in and i know the threads i want to avoid. Its not that tough if you are here all the time and really know all the posters, their styles and so forth. Of course, you're right, if you show up here once in a blue moon and have no idea who the regulars are, than it could be tough to wade.

Its not that winning is a lost art, its just that its extremely hard to win, even for the best of us. Its not my style to post my pick 6 scores and big hits, but for some people, it is their style. I don't begrudge them if they want to pat themselves on the back once in a while, it feels good to win, once in a while a poster might want to tell the world about it. No big deal to me.

[Greyfox]

Its not my style to post my pick 6 scores ..... No big deal to me.

Nah...they're routine... eh? :lol:

Good for you. No big deal to me either, however when I read a thread praising chalk winning, I thought it was funny and commented about such. Normally, you don't see people thankful that prices were so short. At least not the people I am friends with.

[johnhannibalsmith]

...

Are you sure that it wasn't simply that all the jockeys, trainers, owners with uncoupled entries, stewards, racing secretaries management, and TVG guys were betting on predetermined winners and that's why the prices were so short?

[Stillriledup]

I hear you. When a slew of chalk wins, i usually lose. Not fun for me either.
