i was playing poker at the Bally's hotel on the corner of las vegas blvd and flamingo, a guy gives me a tip on a horse running that night at garden state racetrack in new jersey. he said bet the 3 horse in the fifth race. i went to the window and looked up the horse and thought it was 5013. the teller punched out the next race. the horse that the guy gave me happened to win the race and paid something like $8.00. i wound up bettting the wrong race and the wrong horse i bet paid $96 to win.i had $10 across on the horse. it was the bigest winning price i have ever cashed to this day i think! that was about 25 years ago.
