undertaker Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 I do. Man, I can't believe how stupid I can be sometimes. I turned a $50 bitcoin deposit at Dimes into a few hundred betting sports so I figure I'd give the horses a try (again). So I buy a Gulfstream past performances form online and login to the 5Dimes racebook. I played a $42 pick 5 ticket at Gulfstream Park West Wednesday: 2 X 2 X 3 X 7 X 2 = $168 combinations at 25 cents each, races 4-8. I get the 1st 3 winners, no heavy favorites and one 9-1 shot that beat a 3/5 shot. In the 5th race I have 7 of 9 horses. Why I didn't just spend the extra $12 and take the all I'll never know but I left out two horses in the 7th race, the #1 & #2. Of course the #1 horse wins and kills my tickets. Of course I have the next winner so I get the consolation of $17 7 times. Big deal. If I use an all in the 7th as I should have I cash over $2000. For a $50 bet.

Dark Raver Camper Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 I had a pick 5 at Remmington Park, less than two weeks ago. No one hit it, but I had it at 5 Dimes. The cheapest paying 4 out 5 came in. I had a 25 cent pick 5. There was about 27K in the mutual pool. I was pissed! Two horses, which i had, had 5 of 5. They didn't win.

undertaker Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 No good can come from this... Thanks for all of the replies fellas. I have $600 left in my 5Dimes account. No doubt todays events have me on tilt and I'm 100% sure I will be betting the horses tomorrow trying to grab a big payout to make up for what I should have cashed today. I only bet gimmicks, mostly Pick 3,4 &5's, superfectas and trifectas. It will be interesting to see how long $600 lasts (not including my only pending wager on the under 5.5 in the late NHL game).

Jimmy Hoffa Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Until they can train chimps to ride the horses, I won't bet on them. It's a crooked sport with mathematics designed for a complete house edge. You can't win long term betting on horses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a crooked sport with mathematics designed for a complete house edge. You can't win long term betting on horses. what if i get a 8% rebate (or promo) and 5% minimum payout (2.10) on huge favorites to show in 5 horse races? are you telling me that a 1/9 favorite isn't going to show 87% of the time with only 5 horses in the race? if so you are naive and ignorant you have to be careful because places like betonline don't give their 7% rebate on anything paying 2.20 or less... but other places do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyF0cker Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Horse guys don't grind like that Mike.Not true. I can name at least 10 horse players that got booted from Vegas sportsbooks for betting into negative show pools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
