BETTING WITH BOB : MAN VS. THE MICROCHIP

The computer and I bet different races Sunday, but we still closed the week’s racing with losses.

Deposit Ticket in the fourth and Elusive Road in the fifth gave me two-thirds of my triples, but Golden Voyager’s easy victory in the sixth ruined them--costing me $60.

Bob’s Sunday Bankroll: $1,982 Sunday’s Loss: $60 Current Bankroll: $1,922 The computer’s bet in the eighth race, Classic Fame, finished behind two horses that had been off for a total of nearly two years. Perhaps the computer, which lost $80, should get back to BASIC.
