A time not to cash in...

Sorry if the board has already seen this:

OTB Westridge: According to witnesses, the man entered the parlor around noon and asked how much it would cost to buy every possible trifecta combination (a bettor must pick the first three finishers in exact order) in the 20-horse field. After being told it would cost $13,680, he left — presumably to visit his bank.
He returned shortly thereafter, purchased his tickets and left.
Here were the $2 trifecta payoffs for the past six Kentucky Derbies before Saturday:
2006 — $11,418.40.
2005 — $133,134.80.
2004 — $987.60.
2003 — $664.00.
2002 — $18,378.20.
2001 — $12,238.40.



Not a Giacomo, Closing Arguement type of year. The tri paid $440, not bad for the favorites coming in 1-2-3 correct order.
Three ALL buttons in a row, 20 horse field... holy mother of God.
We got no food...
We got no jobs...
OUR PETS HEADS ARE FALLIN OFF

No way am I returning for that winning ticket. Oh the humanity.

But, he can always brag that he hit the trifecta on the Kentucky Derby...

Or keep the tickets, hope Street Sense wins the Triple Crown, and at the appropriate time he can sell those particular tickets on eBay at some point. Frame them real nice and maybe try to get Calvin to sign em or something. How much can you get for those?

Not much, the people that follow the sport are spending their money at the track.
