BETTING WITH BOB : MAN VS. MICROCHIP
Enough of this triple betting--I’m starting to get two out of three races right in my dreams. It happened again Friday night, costing me $70.
Today, I will go head to chip against the computer on its turf in the ninth race. The last time I took it on, it won. It’s time to even the score: a $30 exacta from La Grande Affaire to Baldomero and a $20 exacta from La Grande Affaire to Edge Of Heaven in the ninth.
Bob’s Friday Bankroll $1,901
Friday’s Loss $70
Current Bankroll $1,831
The computer’s magic touch on the turf seems to be negated by the effect of night racing. It lost $60 when its exactas failed in the seventh race. For today, it is challenging my ninth-race exactas with a $40 exacta, Decora to Baldomero, and a $20 exacta reversing the two.
Computer’s Friday Bankroll $1,699.50
Friday’s Loss $60
