The Monkey is well.
For those wondering about "The Monkey" he's fine. Through he was not feeling well there for awhile. Gave him a break than had to re-train him, but the cost of his banana fee / consulting service is well worth his contribution. Sometimes we all get bored and need a change of pace
Yesterday the Monkey had the winner of the 7th @ Tam for $24.60 for the contest. Unlike the contest which is restricted to $2 W & P it doesn't allow for profit on other bets. I always try to design my bet based on my handicapping. I never ever make Place bets and rather put that money to use in DD etc. for better use of my capital and return. Today I played the 8th & 9th at Tam because I thought they would be put up for the contest. I hit the 8th which paid $ 21.20 . It keyed a $50 EX and a nice DD for $70.40. I got the 21.20 winner exactly the same as the 9th winner that only paid $4.40.

Mitch,
Nice to see you hitting some good ones. It looks like it would have paid off for you today if they were in fact, contest races. But it was a day off for that. Playing in a contest is a constricting experience. Like playing with handcuffs on. You have to play a minimum amount of races. You bet a set amount in a certain way. You can only win a maximum amount. As I’m sure you are aware it’s done to keep things competitive. So it doesn’t reflect real life wagering. It is an entity unto itself. Some like it, some don’t. We are about half way through this one. Anything can still happen. Keep the monkey happy and fed because we should be back at it tomorrow. Probably WRD but I heard Parx might open. Although it might not be good to do a track that has been idle for six weeks. Good luck Mitch, Pook Last edited by The Pook; 05-03-2020 at 08:20 PM. |

Pook I agree 100 % that contests are a level playing field as the rules apply to everyone.
I'm finding that this contest is very challenging and a great experience. It does hone one's skills. In race 9 the winner only paid $4.40 but was a key to a nice $70.40 DD, if it were a contest race I may have passed on it and took a shot at a price. I hope some are playing along as they'll not only appreciate the difficulty but also gain some experience. If so like us they'll have to make the call before the gates open, we all see the winner after the race when perusing the PP's. Good skill Pook. BTW your doing a great job with this contest, thanks for your time and effort. Mitch44 |
