One of the coolest things I’ve done over the past couple of years is purchase shares of a few racehorses through MyRacehorse. Groups like that give you the ability to buy microshares of thoroughbreds – to get in the game and experience the thrill of owning horses without the massive outlay.
The option was available (through a different group) to purchase shares of this year’s Kentucky Derby winner Mage. Some locals had a stake in the horse, and they can now say they own a Derby winner. I didn’t have that horse, but it didn’t stop me from making some sizable change on Mage’s nose. We gave you an across-the-board ticket and hopefully you cashed, too!
That, paired with another winning week on the links, sent our profit for 2023 to a yearly high – more than 50 units. Combined with last year’s 100-unit haul, we boast a staggering record. Maybe another 100-unit year wasn’t an unthinkable goal after all.
Let’s stay focused. The PGA Tour event in Dallas is a big pile of nothing in terms of value. A bad field and worse odds.
However, we have some plays for the DP World Tour and LIV golf. Let’s keep this train a chuggin’!
Notes
All bets are measured in units. For instance, if your normal bet on a game is $100, that is one unit. If the bet is listed as .2 units, it’s a $20 bet.
Best line (as of Tuesday) is listed in parenthesis. Find the best price — one key to being a successful sports bettor! Shop around! Remember this is a VALUE-based system, so don’t settle for a price significantly less than the one listed. And jump on better prices!
