Gut feeling is the KEY to winning. If it says don't play, you don't, and if it says PLAY IT! Then proceed :) | | |

Congrats to him! That is definitely a lot of money to put down on one number, but I bet he is happy he did. "No one remembers the person who almost climbed the mountain, only the person who eventually gets to the top."

Play like you mean it.  In neo-conned Amerika, bank robs you.

I see this done A LOT usually to avoid taxes if it comes out BOX or if a Pick-3 STR comes out. If you have one good number instead of several iffy ones you are better off that way. The catch is in pari-mutuel if you win that many you will water down the prize; I guess they have fixed payouts. | | |
