Where We Are and Our Picks for March, 18, 2022

 


Happy Friday! We've been taking it on the chin a little bit all week. So our goal is to have a weekday where we don't lose money. If this continues, we'll need to reevaluate, but it's early. The margin of error is thin, so every wrong bet takes a lot of right bets to make up.... Here's where we are:

START OF DAY:

DATE OF INCEPTION: 2/27/22

ORIGINAL FUNDS: $60.00

PICKS: 46-67 OVERALL (68.7%)

VALUE AT START OF DAY: 106.85 (+78.1%)

PICKS:

Gulfstream Park, 2nd Race, Cozy Cafe, Bet $5 - WON, PAID $7.00 (+40%)

Gulfstream Park, 3rd Race, Philipsburg, Bet $5 - WON, PAID $5.25 (+5%)

Gulfstream Park, 8th Race, Join the Dots, Bet $5 - WON, PAID $5.25 (+5%)

Oaklawn, 4th Race, Jilted Bride, Bet $10 - WON, PAID $10.50 (+5%)

Oaklawn, 8th Race, Harvard, Bet $10 - LOST. Could tell in the turn he didn't have it. 4th....

END OF DAY TOTALS:

PICKS 4-5, 50-72 OVERALL (69.4%)

BET $35.00, WON 28.00 (-20%)

VALUE AT END OF DAY:  $99.85 (+66.4%).

How This All Started..... AKA, Wall Street Kinda Sucks

Image
  Hey, whether someone ever read or follows this is irrelevant. This is more of a diary to see day to day if this works, and to learn the mistakes I make along the way..... So, why am I here? Simple. As someone in his early 50's, who got off to a 30 year late start on saving towards retirement, I have some ground to make up. Catching up all the way is impossible, but any ground made up is ground made up..... This all started last year. Sure, I have a 401k that my last (now former) employer had the magnanimity to NOT match (the auto business sucks), but it's pretty small, and it is fully exposed to the whims of the investing public. I did finally manage to save up about triple that amount, where it sat in my bank account, earning NO INTEREST.  After figuring out that I lost about 5-$7000 by doing that, I finally did something. I sat down with a friend who always seemed to do well in the market. I soon signed up with a Vanguard Mutual Fund with $5k, and it went pretty well - for...

Stupid Reasons People Bet on Horses...

                                                                      Bunny's Revenge ???? We're going to try and inject a little humor into the blog here. If this lasts, you'll see we don't take anything seriously. Plus, we have a bit of a 'voice' when we write (I had a political blog about 10-12 years ago), so we're trying to get back into that. Makes reading this a little easier.... If you've done this enough, or just watched people who know nothing about horse racing decide who to pick every Kentucky Derby Day, you know people come up with the craziest reasons for picking a certain horse. I see this every year at the Belmont. Those cigar-smoking Jason Mraz looking kids with the Fedora hat drive me up a wall.... But, they have their opinion, and they help drive up the odds on my horse, and make me more money. Th...
