Dave,

Yes, I get the same BLBL scores as you after eliminating the 2 favourites.

It occurred to me to mention, in cases like this, that you may indeed choose to go ahead with eliminating not just 1 but 2 favourites but be prepared to lose a fair number of these. Only after doing this for a while, and with real money so you get the emotional feedback, can you decide if your psyche can withstand it and of course if it hits often enough to be profitable.

Mitigating strategies might be: betting to Place as well with odds like on the #3 and doing an Exacta box with the eliminated favourite(s) and your 2 long-odds Win contenders.

Good luck as you move forward!

Ted
