Koz,  What's the "w" next to the horse indicate (i.e. #1  4/1w/7/5)?   I'm curious how you intend them to be bet.  BOL dude!

Excellent, just as I thought!

Guys, here are somethings I typed in past post. Hope these help. If not I'll re-explain.

-I'm going to be trying a new format this week and be making adjustments as needed. Below is a starting sample of how it is going to look. The horse selections will start with the order of preference of horses with the first 2 selections being the "Key" horses. The 2 "Key" horses will also be involved in all our exotics, primarily Exacta's,but also Tri's and Superfectas. Of course, your wager is up to you. For example below, in race #1 we keyed the 2/3w(with)/the 4/5 so our Exacta will be 2,3 w/2,3,4,5, and our long shot 6. We can also play the "Keyed" horses to Win (2,3) along with our Long Shot (6).

Sample:

Race#       Horse Selections            Live Long Shots
#1                2/3 w/4/5                               6

Examples:

Race#          Results (Win & Exotics)
#1            2-4-6-3 Key Win $5.00 & Exacta Bx $24.00, Tri Bx $94 & $1~ $244 Superfecta Bx
or
#1             9-7-8-1 Missed
or
#1             3-5-1-9 Key Win $4.00 & Exacta Bx $11.00
or
#1              2-6-7-9 Exacta Bx $42.00
or
#1            6-1-7-9 Long Shot Win $20.00

I love to handicap horses but I do not like to tell people how to bet their money. I like to give the horses I feel are the best and the way you bet is your choice of course. But, here's some options. Example: Race 1: 3/4w/5/6 - 9 The 3 & 4 horse are the horses I key if I play an Exacta or I box them all in trifecta's and superfecta's. If you play WPS, look at my Key horses and my longshot. Of course you have to look at the pay offs at race time too. If a horse is getting clobbered and get's bet down so bad, lay off. So many choices. 10 cent superfecta's are fun too. Lot's of options. Whatever your style is and bankroll is you can use my selections. Let me know if you have anymore questions and I'll be more than happy to help you find what I think will be the best way to profit off my selections.

Let me know if this helps. If not I'll re-type something.  -Koz

Thanks for replying, Koz.

For example below, in race #1 we keyed the 2/3w(with)/the 4/5 so our Exacta will be 2,3 w/2,3,4,5,

That's the correct way to list them: 2,3 w/2,3,4,5, separating the selections by commas or hyphens in each leg. Then putting the slash (/) to signify the next leg.  There's no confusion this way.

No problem Straguzzi. I realize the "correct" way is 2,3 w/2,3,4,5. The 2/3w/4/5 came for another site I still frequent and post on first and that is the format they use so I continued to use it. So on their site when we see 2/3w/4/5 we know it's 2,3 w/2,3,4,5. It just makes things a lot easier for me as far as typing the plays up and then copying and pasting to other sites to share my selections. The site that I frequent you MUST follow their format. Since 2,3 w/2,3,4,5 is the correct way I will post them that way on pregame to avoid any confusion . Again since they are the only site that has a must use format I just use their way and went with it. Anyway, I will change it for my pregame post if time allows me to re-type it.  BOL.
