My meet results so far, 4 for 49, winners paid $394.55 for 50-cents, $41.65 for 50-cents, $85 for $1, $103.60 for 50-cents, minus $103.70. Whale tickets, 0 for 3, minus $100.

Standard Ticket: $1 play: 14679/1710/1/1 = $15
Whale Ticket: 50-cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: This is a very tough race. I’m going to have to use five, 1, 4, 6, 7, 9.

Race 8: This is pretty wide open but I think I can get through with three, 1, 7, 10.

Race 9: The one entry may be all you need here, use the two if you want protection. I’m trying a single, the one.

Race 10: (1) Bettor Chill Out will probably be 1-9 odds here and if he loses, a lot of people are going to lose the Pick-4.
