BETTING WITH BOB : MAN VS. MICROCHIP
Maybe this money isn’t so lucky after all.
Classic Overlay, who was just that at 9-1, broke slowly and never menaced while finishing fifth in the fourth race.
Patches, the 2-1 choice in the Railbird Stakes, couldn’t get by Forest Fealty in the final furlong, so there went another $60.
Trying to recoup the $80 I lost Saturday and then some, I’ll bet a $20 exacta box in the third from Tu Eres Mi Heroe to Cherokee Returns.
Bob’s Saturday Bankroll: $2,150
Saturday’s Loss: $80
Current Bankroll: $2,070
Fortunately for me, the computer took a byte out of its bankroll, too. It lost $80 when its choice in the ninth race, Silver Circus, finished a tarnished fifth. Its bet today is a $40 exacta, Itsallgreektome to Warcraft, and a $20 exacta, Warcraft to Itsallgreektome, in the eighth race.
Computer’s Saturday Bankroll: $1,992.50
Saturday’s Loss: $80
Current Bankroll: $1,912.50
