To Hold Or Not To Hold?

THE SHRINK · May 7, 2005

A Friend of mine gave me one hundred dollars to place on a TRIPLE in today's Kentucky Derby...

He wants the following 3 horses to finish in this EXACT order for $100..

15- BANDINI
4- NOBLE CAUSEWAY
12-AFLEET ALEX

Normally, I wouldn't think twice before holding a bet where I have over a 20% edge, but the risk reward ratio is eating at me...

So, I am asking what you guys would do given this EXACT scenario? :smoker2:

Thanks,

THE SHRINK

Wager a percentage of the wager at a rate I would feel confortable with.

im not a horseguy... what kind of payout would that be if it hit ?

JudgeWapner · May 7, 2005

Damn tough call. I like those 3 in that order but doubt seriously it comes in.

THE SHRINK · May 7, 2005

If I could just a feel for what a one hundred dollar exact would pay out IF these 3 horse finished in the exact order, it would help me decide whether to hold or not...

Does 10-15k sound about right?

Noreaga,

I am Jewish and I don't appreciate that racial slur at all...:finger:

My grand father in law is Jewish

Back in the day he was offered a job to control the entire taco bell in all of the mid west just prior to their launch there

He said "who the phuck wants a taco in the midwest?" and hung up the phone shortly after

Lay it off,you would lose aprox 30 to 40 dimes if this "trifecta" hit.There are no aproximate pay outs on trifectas.You have to wait and see what they pay when they post the prices.GREENHEAD

Shrink, ive spent many a day at the track.....you know as well as anyone that you have to keep the money.

TheGeneral+ · May 7, 2005

Back to topic.

I would take the dollar and drop it in my wallet.

Carry on!

Jewish, is not a race... or a nationality. :103631605

I don't appreciate that ETHNIC slur, ok? :finger:

SALTHEITAL · May 7, 2005

Yo SHRINK...

How's it goin'?

I believe we've never met...

As far as you're question goes... I'd keep it, if I were in your shoes.

After all, it's tough enough picking 1 horse...let alone 3 !!!

Have a great one !

It's not a slur, it's a stereotype :103631605

alright..I get your point.

my apologies, sincerely. bagels and cream cheese on me.

THE SHRINK · May 7, 2005

Sal,

Thanks for your response...

I believe I will do exactly that...

If these 3 hit, don't expect to see me online later...:drink:

Well Norega

Bagels used to be cheap so the Jewish ate those a lot

But that is not the case anymore

Bagels are a very hip breakfast item they are more pricey these days and come in a multitude of varietys at many shops

I give you props trying to dig at Shrink, but give it up :drink:
