Why do you think I haven't posted in that thread recently? 4000 is nothing to post about.. that happens weekly for me.
I agree.
As far as posting after a sequence starts, Idk about that. I already prove more than I need to. I just dont have the time nor see the need to.

It depends on the sequence. I hate spreading when I don't think I can get prices.
Tomorrow , I'm passing. 1) I didn't do enough work but 2) I hate the 2 chalks in race 1 but they might win at short prices. I refuse to go all and get a 3/5. 3) other races just have 1 loser after the other in them (race 2).
Tomorrow is a pick 5 where you can overspend 2000 and 1) lose or 2) get back 300 bucks and cry

If he won a $100K, he wouldn't have to hide from the loan sharks anymore.....$4500 ain't enough, just gives him more time to safely pay the juice..

Nobody said we were or weren't having one at Belmont. However, unless you are running at least ten races, you pretty much can't have two Pick-5s.

Didn't you spend some time in Hallandale Beach this winter? GP cards two Pick 5's even on 8 race cards. Wednesday with 8 races they handled 50k early and 100k late. If you can draw that kind of a pool, I honestly don't see how anyone could have a problem with it.

It depends on what it does to other pools. These type of bets take a whole lot of money out of circulation for a big chunk of the card. Not a fan.

I am thrilled they are having a late pick 5. By far one of my favorite bets, and being back in Arizona now I dont have to run to the dog track at 9am to get my bets in.

I do something similar. I spend a bunch of time handicapping the pick 5. make my wagers and just watch the races. I then start working on the rest of the card, or look at other tracks to find a potential score.
When I was up Saratoga last week. I made my P5 bets, then walked around, said hello to people there I knew and watched the races.
I was alive through the first three. Once my P5 was done, I worked a couple races. Hit one lost the other. Then created a P4 ticket. Done.

I also like the p5.
But while in the experimental stage, how about $1 pick 6.
Would that help or hurt total handle. I personally have a $100 limit on horizontals.If I cannot make it work for that I will skip the sequence. That is occasionally going in for a buck and not two? ( I cannot bring myself to less than a dollar) But a buck pick 6 may keep some of us who do not get involved in syndicate play in p6 action.

I was the same way...An individual race handicapping mindset.
When going with horizontal wagers, i have to get out of that...and yes, sometimes there is a difficult to narrow down race in the sequence. And sometimes I have to hold my nose and bet several entries. Sucks.
I do not have the budget to make crush bets. I just try to hit the darned thing...
And P5 are loaded with value. Alabama day the P5 had not one single winner over 10.40...The P5 STILL paid over $6k for $2.....And that was with one 4/5 winner....The winners were
$9.10, $8.30, $8.60, $3.80 and $10.40....P5 paid $6,187.00 for $2
