lets just say I didn't know you had to scoop the whole pool to take down the pick 6 carryover at Beulah. I through 225.00 at it, hit 6 of 6 and it returned 225.10
live and learn

from now on, I'll stick to the Beulah thread here in eso..

BEU #3 $0.25 Pick-6 2,4,6,​WT,5,​WT,1,2,4,5,6,​WT,2,3,5,6,​WT,1,3,4,5, 8,​WT,1,2,9 bet $ 225.00 return amount $ 225.10

I bet someone that the volume on a certain stock would exceed 5 million shares traded and he was stupid enough to take it

but WOW that is a really expensive ticket for a .25 cent wager

In '06 I hit an incorrect key on an account of mine. Bet 10 times what I thought I was betting. A mistake you make just once.

Okay herkhorse, am finally done re-living my With Distinction wager.

I can't remember the name of the race.

Probably blocked it out subconsciously.

I guess people do that when they've been traumatized.

(I do remember he lost by 23 though and no I'm not kidding).

Aaaah well...
