2024: 81 Pick Fours, 12 won, 69 lost, minus $1070.45.
2023: 80 Pick Fours, 15 won, 65 lost, minus $716.40. I finished in the red for the year 2023 in my Pick 4’s. This was disappointing since I showed a profit in the last three years. Hitting 15 out of 80 was pretty good but I needed one or two big payoffs, which didn’t happen. My biggest hits in 2023 were $247.25, $220.55 and $196.80.
