    Why wouldn't you keep playing? You were miles ahead both times when the chips went in . . . nothing else matters after that.

    It would be nice to be rewarded, getting it in as a huge favourite. I am in a good mood tonight and was feeling really confident that I was going to play well. It would be nice to run good, while playing well.

    But you WERE rewarded. Both donkeys got their chips in as substantial dogs . . . after that it is out of your hands. Keep making the right decisions and the $$$ will follow.
