Default AP Pick 4 score: BWS for $9,500!

this is a totally unauthorized redboard on my part, but just wanted to give a shout out to Brian W "The Kid" Spenser, who took down the late pick four at Arlington today for a cool $9,550.

i wasn't there but have heard from others on the scene that Brian was "beside himself" after Inez Karlsson made an improbable rally from last to take the nightcap, and close out the sequence for him.

great job Brian!

and he capped it solid, on a $120 ticket, not using the all button at all, and getting prices of $80/$30/$20

Real f'n serious

Wow.
It was a tough one too with the tenth choice on the board winning the seventh (at 40/1), and the sixth choice on the board winning both the eight and ninth races.
Great job Brian.

It was all good.

Great hit, the $1 parlay would have come back $24,964, looks like only one other ticket had it.

Dude, Karlsson is one of my favorite disrespected jocks and has been all meet, and anyone out there will tell you that i love her.....just that i normally love her from about a length off the pace, this was out of this world ridiculous, her closing for maybe the first time in her life. I made her shake my hand after the race for it....she seemed excited for me haha

yea, gotta love some other a-hole coming up with the same improbable sequence i had....i seriously cannot complain about the payoff, as much as i would have loved to scrape the pool, it's going to do me a WORLD of good as far as old college debt goes.

thanks AJ for the props, and the phone call -- everything fell my way today thanks to Brazen Zip who I've burned plenty of money on in NW1X company before they dropped him down to the proper level today..
