When I checked my account I was credited with the $187.50 pick 3 win. So I checked my ticket. I played the 5,7,9,11,12,13, by mistake, and should not have won. Because I should have entered the bet correctly the first time, should have realized my mistake as I was clicking to confirm, and then caught on rechecking all the bet I made when I was done betting.
I contribute this as my therapy and to all who have had me-beat-me moments, even in the rare times that good results happen.
Though +187 doesn't make up for -5600.

Something similar happened to me a few months ago, i bet a pick 5 and the ticket was 8 deep in the last leg. Somehow, i only got 7 deep and of course, the one horse i left out, the 1 horse, ended up winning. Cost me 3 grand or something like that. I wasnt too happy because i thought i had won and didnt realize the mistake till after the races were over. If i had known i left out the 1 horse, i may have made a win bet on him, or some other type of 'saver'.
