generally only do it to get rid of some coins, and possibly turn to notes though.

its all about control and being honest with yourself and to know you have a problem when it makes you feel sick if you lose.
as for the pick 4 i got lazy in the end boxing the field for $420.
not a thing i would recommend to do on a long term basis, but as i said it was an open field with the fav in a crunch area.
cleared $575 for the race. but as my div suggests i think a few of the bigger punters did the same thing.
trifecta $1200+ for a smaller pool, would have been a smarter field bet of $336
theoreticly :)
