I bought in for a measly 14 bucks this past Saturday on my ADW to bet a few races while the wife went out with her mother on a shopping trip. On a shoestring budget i hit my first race at Gulfstream catching a small $23.90 dollar trifecta at gulfstream, but didn't catch a thing the next few races at MV, Tampa, Aqueduct, and Parx. I was basically "all in" for my last .90 cents on 2 "hopelatron" dime supers which of course lost.
I was about to shut down my laptop and start watching TV.....THEN I looked back at the 1st at Parx and noticed the race was under an inquiry of some kind. I had lost the race, but noticed a horse may have fallen off during the race. The
horse who dumped the jockey I didn't bet on so I didn't have much hope, but then the race was declared a non race for an equipment malfunction. I couldn't believe it. The 5 dollar win bet and 3 horse 1 exacta box was refunded just in time for Aqueducts 2nd race. I took the 11 dollars and bet a dollar tri box
and bet the longshot
to win for 3 bucks. Tri paid 136 and the win bet returned 34.20. I proceeded to run up my account to just over 550 highlighted by a $263.40 dollar exacta in Gulfsteam's 5th where I had the 46 dollar winner for two bucks as well. As time went on I started to give back 100 or so of my profit, prompting me to "pinch off" and withdrawl 300 to my paypal.
I kept playing with the remaining 100-150 I had and won on a few short winners before it was practically gone an hour later. I bet my last $4 bucks on my favorite jockey Florent Geroux at FG in race 7 and much to my surprise he held the 19-1 together all the way to the wire to score for 84 bucks! Healthy again I survived an important inquiry at Los Al the following race for nice money then shutdown my laptop a couple of hours later with 287 in my account.
