Today as is the norm on a weekend I put a few bets on the gee gees. There was racing at Warrnambool and also Werribee. I take running doubles, 50 cent bets, through the card, using trainers I like as selections using a sequence formula of my own. It is fun, checking my account balance at the end of the day. No running double collect today. That's OK, You go a streak of loss, then the numbers work out and there's a good collect.
But today I made a good profit despite none of my running doubles selections getting up. I also put on some bets $1 each way for horses that take my fancy, or trainers, I have another list of trainers that I back for win and place, just $1 each way. Last week I landed Beliveau at $114 a win for $1, and a good running double for a weekend profit of $200.
Today, now get this, I was putting on $1 each way on Balzac, race 8 Warrnambool. Aaron Purcell is on my list of W+P trainers. I made a mistake and instead of moving the the mouse after clicking on $1 a win, I clicked again, not on a place bet, but again on the win. So I effectively but unintentionally put $11 a win on the horse instead of $1 each way. I cursed quietly at the time for my stupidity as i confirmed the bet without realizing my error.
Can you imagine my pleasure when I checked the account this evening to find that Balzac won and and the payout was $135.30.
You do have to laugh.

Sweet mercies!
Saddened to hear about Elvie's situation. I'm hoping she finds some relief here and there. Best wishes to you and your crew Carey.
