Default Any stories about...

Hi guys, just curious to hear some stories from you guys about literally hitting big on your first bet of the day. It's kinda cold in MN right now, and so I was playing poker at Canterbury. Well, i did ok... walked in with $100 playing 4/8 limit, and left with $200, so not bad right? Well I go out to the parking lot to start up my car to warm it up.

I see that race 11 at Sunland was about to go off in about 7 minutes, so I go back in to make a quick bet on that race while waiting for my car to warm up (I lock my keys in my car, and unlock it later with my spares). So I go up, bet a $1 exacta box on 3 horses. Well they win. 10-1 over 9-1 pays $136!!! Not bad huh?

Well it's not a monster score, but it got me to thinking about this question. Have you guys ever just arrived at an OTB, Track, Casino, whatever, just sit down to make your first bet, and hit big? And then just get up and go? It's what I did today when I hit that bet at Sunland. So overall I walked in with $100 and left with over $300... I don't think anyone would complain about that. I look forward to hear your guys' stories.
