MP, I always like the fact that they tell you how much they made without telling you how much they risked. Horse players do the same. A buddy hit a superfecta Sunday night and won $635. However, he bets $60 per superfecta, and as this was superfecta Sunday at Sam Houston, had at least 8 races with the bet allowed. My guess is he won a couple of hundred bucks or less and has nights when he never hits one and loses several hundred. But that is a story he never tells. -g- MB
