Live Updates on the Tampa Card
· Race 1 just finished, and the four horses I mentioned ran 1/2/3/4. I was a photo-finished nose away from cashing a win ticket (a weak $2 winner, due to odds when I laid the bet) on #10 Mischieviousmoment who was nipped at the wire by #7 Heartlight. I had $2 on #10 (he was 4/1 when I laid the bet, under my playable number) and $4 to win on #4 (who I didn't like that much, but I bet him at 7/2 before he trickled back down to 5/2).
· Totally missed on race 2. #6 Hermit's Rest ran a good one, but went off at 5/2. I can't play him that low. I had win bets on #2 ($4, off at 7/1) and #7 ($7, off at 9/2). Neither factored.
· Getting killed today. I played $5 win bets on #4 (15/1), #5 (5/2), and #12 (9/1), with $5 place bets on the two higher odds horses too. None scored with the top group. 47/1 Flying Enough won, and no I didn't have any money on the horse. Three races, zero tickets cashed.
· Ugh, let's just all agree today that either I have no idea what I'm doing or that I'm a disciplined gambler who won't take odds that I deem too low on a contending horse. Pray for the latter.
