Kentucky Derby Futures Pool 1

[lemoncrush]

Futures bets is a sucker bet, or a gimmick bet, but I still enjoy making some every year. I know all the disadvantages of making them, but I still consider it "entertainment money" when making a few wagers in Vegas on possibe Derby contenders.
It's more of something fun to do, rather than something where you're only enjoyment is a positive ROI.
I made the following bets in NOV. and DEC. this year (and one in January).
I try to only take a horse that's over 50-1, knowing I could probably get 15-30-1 on a horse with an equal chance of winning on Derby day.
Notional 75-1
Sam P 125-1
Dilemma 75-1
Any Given Saturday 40-1
Officer Rocket 150-1
Mercantile 150-1
Day Pass 60-1
Great Hunter 40-1
EZ Warrior 60-1
Les Grand Trios 75-1
Came to Pass 100-1
At $10 each, that's $110 I'll probably never see again. But it's still fun to follow the horses the next couple months, and hopefully, have a few on Derby day that would cash big if I win.
