The Swamp

Sorry guys. To make it easy for derby, you have $20 bucks to bet. See old threads for other rules, but the Derby is the easiest. You MUST best your entire $20.


Types of bets available will be
- Win, Place, Show
- Exacta, Trifecta, Superfecta (including Box bets for all exotics)
All bets bust be $2 minimum bet (though you can do $1 exacta/trifecta boxes which make the total bet over $2) with the exception of the Superfecta, which will be a minimum of 0.10

List your bets in order. Since I likely wont be able to double check, and if for some reason you go over the $20, I will take the bets listed in order up to $20 and will reduce/increase last eligible bet if you are over the amount. If your bet is in here by time race goes off it will count.

Final odds will be dictated at post time, below are for reference only.

Current situation: on my 6th John Daly which is a much superior Derby Day drink to the mint julip, which is trash.

Instilled Regard gets 4th to mess up all superfectas

With benefit of hindsight no idea how I don’t bet on Justify on a horse race in Kentucky.

Mess up? That paid like a boss. 4th horse should always be longer odds.

Loved the replay showing Smith just waving the whip so the horse could see it.

Good looking beast.

I am also not a julep fan. There’s a recipe out there that ends up with throwing all ingredients out but bourbon which sounds right.

But bourbon >>>>>>>>>> vodka

You are right, however the hangover from bourbon is >>>>> vodka.

I guess it's a vice/versa situation.

But Gin, amirite?

So half to win and half to place? Or all to place? Technically a place bet is a Win or Place bet, so just want to clarify.
