More Long Shot

More of Z-Man Game's Long Shot last night. Andrew is still at the Missouri Innovation Academy in Springfield (Missouri), and Teresa had to leave early, so we were short-handed.

Gillian bought the horse Eight is Enough, and the horse ended up winning by about eight spaces. This, combined with some well-placed bets, gave Gillian the win with $310. Patrick tried out his new strategy of not buying any horses, but using all of his money for bets. He had $25 on Eight is Enough, but that wasn't enough, as he finished second with $265. Mom had the second-place horse, Six Gun, and finished with $205. Non had the third-place horse, Slow Jenn, and finished with $200. I was far behind with $110.

Everyone but me finished with more money than last time, and most folks feel that we're understanding the game better than before. Dennis is supposed to get off of work early next Friday, and he has requested that we play Long Shot.
