BOAT RACE is a nation-sanctioned form of gambling. It is not illegal and you won’t get arrested for participating. You can bet starting from as little as $1. Today, I plan to place my bets on Race 7 at Kiryu. My predictions are as follows: “Past race results are 1-34-6-25, and the current tournament results are 1-3-26-54. Boat 1 is certain to win first place. Boats 4 and 5 have poor tournament results, so they won’t place in the top three. Boats 2, 3, and 6 will likely compete for second and third place. Therefore, I’ll bet on 1-236-236.” The actual result was 1-2-3, with odds of 10 to 1. I wished Boat 6 had pushed a bit harder. It was not necessary to predict Boat 2 to finish second. I don’t think the prediction itself was bad. The odds were low, though.
And also, I plan to place my bets on Race 7 at Gamagori. My predictions are as follows: “Past race results are 1-3-45-2-6, and the current tournament results are 1-54-32-6.
Boat 1 is certain to win first place. Boats 6 has poor tournament results, so it won’t place in the top three. Boats 3, 4, and 5 will likely compete for second and third place. Boat 2 has the slowest ST. Therefore, I’ll bet on 1-345-345.” The actual result was 5-1-3, with odds over 100 to 1. I wished Boat 1 had pushed a bit harder. I don’t think the prediction itself was bad. But the result is everything. Since this race wasn’t on the final day, I didn’t have to participate. I will make it the rule.
Today’s profit is $1.
