edit: little tweak on playing my 3 underdogs.
3 straight bets of $40.
1 round robin by 2's @20 = $60.
total risk = $180
my initially posted possible bets were going for 2 dogs to win or mccarthy to win - i realized that's almost a long shot. if one only come through and it's not maccarthy, i lose my bets outright. now with these 2 bets, if 1 dog only come through, i can get more than half+ of my total ri$k back (a lose of either $20 or $44 only! that's not too bad in my book!) also, if 2 dogs come through, it would be $308 or $380 profit. if 3 dogs come through, it would be $1000+ profit! almost the same as my initially posted possible bets. i'd rather play it these way than losing my money outright with only 1 dog coming through.
kinda anal on my part u might say but this is how i play my money - always playing 'defensively' risk-wise. it's what works for me.

besides im playing 3 underdogs here, gotta play it 'intelligently', if there ever is such a thing in betting. lol!
so 2 dog win pls!
(or 3! lol) even with 1 i wont be dat disappointed!
goodluck fellas!
