It would be, if the bet was "$2 across the board", which is actually three $2 bets: $2 to win, $2 to place, $2 to show. And so picking three horses, you actually would be making 9 bets. That's how Pickle and I bet in our hypothetical $100 bet. But for the purposes of this contest, and how ...

Roux

Horse racing rules provide for ties, called a dead heat, in which case the prize money from the win and show pools is used for the payouts.

HPG definitely had a good Derby in picking the winner and tying for first. But Roach was the only participant to get on the board with two horses.

Roux

Indeed you are right, I missed that, thank you for catching my mistake.

I will make the correction on the results, thank you again.

On Wednesday, 133 Cardinals will meet in the Sistine Chapel to elect a new pope.

Pickle, as to our $100 bets, you would have cashed $43.20 and I would have cashed $144.96.

Well, right, it is bullshit then being cherry picked to reach the wanted conclusion.

We do allow women to do whatever they are called to do within the church except for pastor and elder. Just wondering, what specific duties of pastor and elder are impossible for a woman to do, but a man can do? It's not about ability. It's about following scripture. Scripture alone, grace alone, fa...

As noted before, this is the category that would have the highest numbers, if we could actually track them. Family members do this much more than anyone else. But I'm not tracking family members.

Damnit! Rodriguez was scratched. I had him in my top 3. Bob Baffert has another horse, Citizen Bull, but I don't think he is as strong as Rodriguez. So with that scratch, Baeza joins the race, and that will change some bets. Baeza has a strong pedigree -- a half brother to 2023 Kentucky Derby winner...
