My gripe

Thanks Hoof

I agree with that.

In regards to that contest I was not downgrading your teams methods
and no matter points or $dollars there still is a reward for a wild selection

If yours or any team sticks in a wild "what the heck" horse and it does happen to win or place your getting points. What bothered me was you would never had bet it to win ( as a prime bet )
Maybe you usually bet $50 win bets and when you see this type horse
in your day to day betting you may bet a few dollars maybe across the board,or for $1 put it in as another horse in your exacta or in your horizontals .

But in this contest if you had it in your top 3 picks and it wins or places you get the same points as any other selection. Does that make more sense ?
Also I am PO'd because we missed advancing because in the last race we bet
Horse B and A and D
Horse A and B were our Sartin methodology 2 horse bets.
both are considered equal right ?
The team that ended up edging us out also bet horse A and B
but because they bet the winner A first rather than 2nd they earned more points than us yet we both had the top 2 horses

Thanks
Bill
