When you are seeking value at those big prices, expect to have protracted run outs. The higher your odds cut is, the longer losing streaks you will endure. It is not uncommon that one can lose 40 - 50 races in a row betting 10-1 shots or better. You must exercise extreme caution when playing this way. Your most frequent overlays should occur between 4-1 & 7-1 odds.
Your will hit a "bomb" infrequently. They are hard to find and harder to hit.
Today I played PRX real time with a friend and another member of this board and limited my self to just 3 bets. I won 2 of them at double figures. That was the 1st and 2nd race. I overlooked a $64.00 payer in the 4th.

Thank you
This would be a tough way to play with real money, but for a contest it allows me a little more freedom to swing harder, thou it is also a great lesson to find value in certain races and tracks, this contest is awesome and reading your post's here and the help you've given , I am learning the angles and overlays that have a better chance for paying off than just plain old longshots, but instead finding value thru certain angle's and historic facts, man I better take a breath, and end this sentence. Wow , got carried away.
I have a very long way to go with this, but I am on the journey, and in a few years, patterns should become more easily spotted and value plays a little more valuable, or that is the goal anyway.
Thanks Bill
