Charles Barkley thinks it was a good bet.

"18."

"Hit me."

"19."

"Hit me."

"20."

"Hit me."

"21."

"Hit me."

What was Charles Barkley doing in Rochester?

Lloyd: I'll bet you twenty dollars I can get you gambling before the day is out!
Harry: No!
Lloyd: I'll give you three to one odds.
Harry: No.
Lloyd: Five to one.
Harry: No.
Lloyd: Ten to one?
Harry: You're on!
Lloyd: I'm gonna get ya!
Harry: Nu uh!
Lloyd: I don't know how but I'm gonna get ya.

FUCK!

What's the difference between praying in church and at the track? At the track you really mean it

Big deal. The T-1000 lost his entire damn sporting goods empire.

This dude needs to revoke his life privileges. I'm just hoping his local OTB isn't the one around the corner from me.

If anyone ever gives you 10,000-1 odds ... you take it.

if someone gives you 10,000 to 1 odds on ANYTHING, you take it

damn suss

"So Frank Sinatra Jr., the T-1000, Paulie Walnuts and 'Miami' Steven Van Zandt are playing poker and..."

If he did his Barbaro holy dance, he might not have been so stupid.

i put $10k on barbaro's ghost to win. he blew out a leg on the first turn. should have seen it coming.

If John Cougar Mellencamp ever wins an Oscar, I am going to be a VERY rich man.

I once bet on all six horses to show and won $.70. Also dumb, but on a much smaller scale.

but did he get acid poured on his foot?

@G Voll the Mole: Ok I didn't see he's in Rochester. I'm an idiot.

But still not bet-on-every-possible-trifecta of an idiot.

He also signed himself up for 82 Brewers rectal exams. Season tickets and it's not costing him a dime!

"Looks like I outsmarted those guys!"

*81

I thought the Generals were due!

I'd love to see what this guy does with Jai Alia matches.

And the award for best actor in a motion picture goes to.......................

John Mellencamp!!!!

Some people just shouldn't be allowed out of the house unsupervised.

Look, It's The Chairboy of the Board"

I took my first trip to Vegas last weekend and it was so humbling that right now I'm thinking "hey, at least that guy won one bet."

I'm going to Foxwoods on Thursday. I'm pretty sure I can do better than this guy did.

A.) He could have boxed just 6 of the top horses and only bet $120.

B.) @TheStarterWife: Jai Alai is my anti-drug.

@Get Him A Body Bag, Yeah!: So next time just keep putting down chips on red AND black. Then you'll be set.

Oh, and green too. That'll pay off. Trust me.

Ritz Carlton at Lake Las Vegas for this kid, Friday through Monday.

Saaaaa-wwwwweeeeeeeetttttt!!!

He would've been better off betting on every Superfecta combination. That paid off over $29,000 on $2.

this weekend i went to the va gold cup where they only have "friendly" wagering. my buddy almost got thrown out for trying to fight a bookie who wouldn't take his bet. i guess they don't like it when you throw up on a girl in front of them and then demand to put $10 on a horse to die during the 3rd race. they're strict i tell you.

Well, in his defense, he would have won a ton of money in 2005...

@UkraineNotWeak: Except that it would have cost him $232,560 to place that bet.

@UkraineNotWeak:

Actually, playing all the Superfecta combos would have cost hime $232,560 to win $29,000. Even worse decision.

I guess he's going to have to contact Hesh Rabkin about a bridge loan.

@El Knob Grande: @UkraineNotWeak: I don't think you guys were allowed to work together on that problem.

@I Heart Poop: Did you wear your finest seersucker suit with pastel bowtie?

I remember I put a grand on the NL and a grand on the AL for the 2002 All-Star game. Very lucrative.

Best Oscar, Musical Score
Film: The Passion of Barbaro
Song: This is Our Country
Composer: John Mellencamp

I still think it is better than betting on the Cubs to win the world series

@I Heart Poop: I might actually go to the Gold Cup if more stuff like happened.

If making a lots of bets of varying amounts to guarantee a win is Dutching, then this guy must have been Belgianing.

Only 2 places to win every time once you're at the track:

ATM and Bar

@Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price:
As a Rhode Island resident, one of my great regrets is never having lost money betting on crazy-talking Basques with lacrosse sticks for arms.

Any chance I get to use this...

"Here's an idea: Why don't you give me half the money your were gonna to bet, then we'll go out back, I'll kick you in the nuts, and we'll call it a day!

@Suss--: "Should I spit on your dice now or not or..."

"Are you telling me you bet on Mr. T in Rocky III?"

"Hindsight is 20/20, my friend."

Yeah, in 2005, the trifecta paid out $133,134 and in 2002 paid out $18,378. That sucks.

@parker91: @ArkansasFred:

i was forced to go to foxfield one year and demanded a case of natural light and bottle of jager for our cooler. the jager was finished, and the natural light box ended up on my head while my shirt ended up on the ground. uva-alum girlfriends frown upon such behavior.

i must say gold cup was way more fun, and the ratio was easily 2-1 girls to guys. it was like shooting fish in a barrel. i recommend it highly.

Here were the $2 trifecta payoffs for the past six Kentucky Derbies before Saturday:

2006 - $11,418.40.

2005 - $133,134.80.

2004 - $987.60.

2003 - $664.00.

2002 - $18,378.20.

2001 - $12,238.40.

Wow. He obviously didn't deserve to have this type of money in the first place.

i think someone said it on here... but what about looking at the 6,840 possible trifectas in order of payout. favorites on the top, ultra-longshots at the bottom.

scanning down the list and picking out the moment that the payout would equal your bet. Say, for example, it's exactly 1/2 way down - so you bet on the 2nd half of the trifecas for a total of $6840 (at $2 per).

that way, you either win - to a varying degree, the bottom of that list being ALOT of money - or you lose.

looks like that bet would pay off in 4 of the last 7 derbys...

see, you cut down the cost of your bet by eliminating the lower payouts - yes, those are the most LIKELY results, but the bets all cost the same.

there are people here with serious gabling problems...now if you excuse me I have to talk to an Asian man about placing a bet in the Mike Vick World Dog Fighting League Championships...
