Anyone following Hoosier, I'm alive in the pick 4 after two races. The winners odds were 8-1 and 62-1 (from 10-1 and 20-1 morning lines). The ticket I played ($27) had the winner singled in the 1st race, a bunch in the 2nd, the #3 singled in the upcoming 3rd race and ALL in the last race.

I'm not at all confident on the #3 as a single here. Oh well.....it's good to have a shot, I guess.

Congrats

Thanks!! I will post my ticket on my website for those that look negatively on posting about winning tickets after the first leg has run.

Not sure about the will-pays, can't get them on twinspires yet. I know there was about 10k in the pool.

Just got the willpays....Looks like I have the only ticket on every horse but #4, in which another person has it, as well.

It pays $7,400 (for .50c) on everyone but the 4 ($3,700).

Posting what? My bet? I don't think you want me posting all my bets on here :) Obviously, I have a lot of non-starters that don't make good reading.

Was talking to a buddy of mine. We've debated whether it matters to bet when the pools are huge vs. average size. Here is a case where it might have paid to one ticket if the pool was 3 or 4 times the size.

Winning odds were 8-1 (10-1 ML) / 62-1 (20-1 ML) / 5-2 (5-2 ML) / 5-1 (8-1 ML)

Hmmm.....I posted the bet two races before it was done and only after it was worth posting (i.e. 62-1 winning). In addition, I posted a screen shot of the ticket.

Either you are saying we should not share in our good betting stories (which is fine, I know some people have a hard time when others win) or I should post all of my bets prior to them going off in the chance that one of them is worth sharing.

Like I said, I have a lot of losing tickets and I'm sure no one wants to hear about those.

It's exactly how I feel. I think a lot of big tickets are won by syndicate type players, people with extremely deep pockets or those with inside knowledge. I am none of these and I assume most that post here aren't either.

I am always happy when medium to small players do well but that's just me. I also know when I'm losing I'm not anxious to hear about the tons that others have won.

I agree.... I didn't realize you could post a screen shot so easily out here. Had I known that, i would have done it in the past, too.

Nice hit. I need to get with you're ADW. Anytime i hit a ticket over the mandatory with holding number of $5000 they show my winnings with the 28 or 30% deducted already. Makes me feel like less of a winner.

They certainly withheld on what came into my account. Think I got like 5500 or something.
