100 win bet challege

[astacio]

I saw this idea at another forum and thought I'd bring it over here. The idea is to make 100 $2 win bets and show a profit. I'll shoot for a return of 5 cents for every dollar bet. I'm a newbee in the horse racing world and just look at some computer sheets to make my picks. I do this mostly for entertainment purposes but you have to start some place. Follow at your own risk.
I'll keep all my updates in this thread.

Not doing that well at the half way point. Basically loosing the track take but the goal is to overcome that as well which I plan on doing. I haven't counted but it seems like I've had a fair number of 2nd place horses. If a few more of them would cross the line first that could be the difference down the stretch.
