By Raghavan | 15-Sep-2019Normally I do not speak about my bets, my performance at the races. But, today is something special. So, tempted to ask my horsetalk friends as to how they fared in today's races.
First my performance. Started the first race. 4/126/126 trinella, 5 tickets. 300/- . Gone. Quite a disappointing loss. Because I had not bargained for both Fanfare & Silver King to not finish in 2nd & 3rd. (there were only 6 horses). To be frank, I was thinking that one of these two horses may win the race!
2nd race: Will speak about this later.
3rd race: Enid Blyton & Super Mario. Was fully satisfied that these will finish in 1 & 2. Bought 20 tickets forecast (4-7). Gone. 10/1 shot, Pleiads won!
4th race: Skipped. Was interested to buy forecast 4-5; but somehow dropped any idea of bet. Of course purchased one JP ticket 4,5/6/2,5/1,11,12/1,7. 240/- cost. Gone.
5th race: Took trinella 5 tickets 6/2,7/2,4,7. 200/- gone.
6th race: skipped.
7th race: skipped.
8th race: Took trinella comb (1,7/1,2,4,7,12/1,2,4,7,12). Not even 1 horse among these figured in top 3. In fact trinella & exacta were carried over.
Now 2nd race: The only winning bet. 2/3,5/3,5/1,6 exacta 10 tickets! Got 1000/- for 400 bet.
So, a small loss to me. .
But, almost every punter were beaten today. People were all smiles yesterday. But, I think they returned yesterday's gains alongwith interest (meter buddy) to the bookies today.
Who should be blamed? I do not say the races were made up. I do not hold any jockey/trainer played foul. Even if the trainer & jockey had played mischief, they never asked me to bet! But, would like to hear from you about your performance.
I play the races betting barest minimum. In spite of losing all but one bets, there was mimimum loss. People may even laugh at my loss.
I always warn punters. Pune, Hyderabad, Mysore and Kolkata are the centers that will make you lakhpathi or pauper in one day. BNG & MUM somewhat better.
Your views please.
