Not sure this is my worst beat. Things got a little out of hand while cutting-my-teeth @ TUP in the early 80’s. Made some bets I shouldn't, but learned from that & happy I came back with some discipline.
One that sticks out…
I was playing the Aqueduct inner track/winter (RIP) meet about 5 years ago & doing fairly well (had a nice ROI for the meet). Mostly P4, but just about every day I would put in a small P6 ticket… only $32-64. Had my P6 set & getting ready to bet when all hell broke loose @ work. (the cloud was down…which was an issue since I managed it.)
Never got a chance to place the bet & you know what happened. Not life changing ticket, but $6K would have been nice.
Figure karma comes around… earlier this year I made a mistake on a P4 @ SA. Keyed in the wrong horse at a low level mdn. Won @ 65-1. I can’t remember the last time I messed up a ticket. All long shots the next 3 legs. Not life changing, but it paid for business class tickets to Australia for a vacation & a new roof.
Cheers
