I shared this today on At the Races so if you heard my ramblings already my apologies.
This morning before work I handicapped the first at Aqueduct and planned to make a phone wager on Youbet as I was working. I made a $4 win bet on the 3 and a $2 ex box on 3,5,6. Total bet $16. At around 12:40 I called YB and the automated system said my balance hadn't changed. O.K. I lost I thought or maybe the first race today is at 1:00.(I knew they were changing soon) So I go through the menu to see if the results are in and sure enough Aq R1 finished,3-5-2. The voice proceeds to tell me that the 3 paid $23.80 and the 1 dollar ex paid $60.25. :ThmbUp: Well I had the 3 twice and 2 dollars on the exacta. I was very pleased. I listened to my balance again and the balance was still the same. Hmmm, did I not confirm my wager? I got in touch with customer service and she looked at my account. She goes, "I see two wagers", and then I jumped in and said I won but it is not reflected in my balance. She said to wait a second and comes back and says, "Aqueducts first race doesn't go off for 18 minutes"!!!!!!!! I said WHAT, and she assured me that the race had not happened yet. I then told her I must have heard YESTERDAYS results! She kind of chuckled and I expressed that I was not pleased. She said she would tell them to turn off the old results. After I hung up I was very deflated and thought I'll never win now. I was right, my 3 was off the board but the 6 won and the 5 was third with the 2 in the middle.(My bet was 3,5,6 box) It added insult to injury. I made a wager, I lost, fine but I don't need that much emotional turmoil over 16 bucks!!!!
Oh well, as Ralph Kramden once said, "Pins and needles, needles and pins, a happy man is a man that grins"!:p
