I proved my point. It is much easier to pick high dollars exotics when you have 3/4 of the field in play and not instructing your players how to structure their wagers. But most importantly it just wasn't fun. What I enjoy about horse racing is the fact that it is not easy to handicap a race and when you get it right that feeling of accomplishment from doing so is what gives me a charge. That was not present in this style of play. It felt soulless and and I can only imagine it was derived from odds, math, and analytical thinking. But maybe I am just old fashioned because I fish with a rod not with a net because that's how grandpa taught me. End Rant.
