*** OFFICIAL *** FFA WAGERING THREAD - Merry Christmas!!! (9 Viewers)

[McBokonon]

Gulfstream kills me.   I've been pretty ok at Oaklawn.   Australian tracks are fun, but I'm just learning it.   Half the horses aren't trying to win in any given race.

I used to do really well in Australia. Lots of free resources out there, but I’m just not aligned with them time wise right now. You can make a killing on exactas there because the odds are pretty meaningless most of the time.

 Nice price on Speech. I’m in.

[McBokonon]

I thought Speech was gonna take it.

Announcer did too.   

We move on.

1/2/7 exabox and tribox with $10 WPS on 1.

 

[McBokonon]

We doing the virtual Kentucky Derby here? I think it starts in an hour. I can get American Pharaoh at +700 at betonline

I put some on Big Red at even money and a little on the Slew at +900

 

[McBokonon]

I mean Secretariat is +100, seems obvious but who knows?

gotta be some good analytic guys who are all over this right

I got secretariat at +110 at a local, down to -130 now. One unit on computer horses is the limit for me.

 

[-fish-]

not even close on that one.

My philosophy with gulfstream is to get the fastest horse and floor it

 

[McBokonon]

Ok, put most on Big Red and a little on AP at decent odds.

 

[-fish-]

Exacta wheel 7/all, .50 tribox 1/5/6/7

Tail with caution.   I'm still playing with house money from the trifecta in the 5th, but it's close to even now.  

 

[mquinnjr]

Secretariat! Barely pulled it off, but total BS  if the GOAT loses, even virtually.

 

[McBokonon]

Big Red, baby!

 

[Summerofgeorge]

I have the 4/all ex Gulfstream 11

 

[lumpy19]

What'd you get in at?   Looks like I missed the +100 fixed prices.     I know nothing about betting on the racebooks, but I assume those aren't fixed prices, right?

I know nothing either but I THINK I just bet charlatan at 1/1 on betonlines racebook

 

[Summerofgeorge]

Christophe Clement on the green baby

 

[regularguy]

I definitely know nothing, but I think that 1-1 bet has the potential to be upwards of 5-1 at post.  Someone explain this to us like we're 5 please.

What? No.

if anything his odds will get worse by post time 

 

[regularguy]

Sorry, had it backwards.

 

[lumpy19]

Ok so my $250 bet is going to win $50?

 

[lumpy19]

Should bet it at -245 at bookmaker then

Now its -215 vs field, I'm in

 

[swirvenirvin]

I know nothing either but I THINK I just bet charlatan at 1/1 on betonlines racebook

thats pre post number.

 

[Summerofgeorge]

Basin across the board

Asmussen/Santana, 3rd start off lay-off, hasn’t had a dry track since his maiden win

 

[Summerofgeorge]

11/all ex in case Charlatan is a fraud

 

[facook]

1/4, 11 Oak race 11.

 

[regularguy]

should have bet more

 

[McBokonon]

Arkansas Derby(s)

Race 11: 1/4/11 EX Box

Race 13: 4/5/7 EX Box

I might get my wager back on this bet. Never even considered trying the tri here but that’s what day drinking will do

As an obsessive line shopper, I can't wrap my head on around routinely betting on horses and not knowing what the odds actually are.

If you are watching on tv or tvg.com you can see current odds.  Morning line means nothing.  I say this as a complete ignoramus newb.

 

[swirvenirvin]

lets go by my standards

 

[McBokonon]

Crazy the bookends were/are both 1/5.

Just for future reference if you bet horses with a legit outfit (TwinSpires, TVG, Xpressbet, etc) you get whatever odds the horse goes off at.  So if you bet him 10-1 and he goes off 2-1 you get 2-1 if he wins

if you’re betting offshore you get whatever they had posted at the time you bet it, so If you bet 10-1 (+1000) and he goes off 2-1 (+200) you’re still getting +1000

You can still get Nadal at 5/2 on Bovada.

 

[facook]

Even now.  Took it.

 

[Summerofgeorge]

You can still get Nadal at 5/2 on Bovada.

Or if you want the winner take the 7

i think the Horses sections of Bov, SB.ag, 5d, are still parimutuel.  The main sports book horse sections are straight bets at that price.  I THINK.

Exactly how I feel, I don't understand horse racing AT ALL.
