ha ha good on ya Fester, reminds me, many years ago in England the bookies wrote a slip out as you recited your bet or copied it if you wrote it down, a few times I put on muliple bets (i.e. doubles trebles etc) and included a horse that had already won (just) I did get away with it a couple of times. naughty arn't I?

Another time a had a VERY hefty fixed price bet on the 2nd fav in a 3 horse race (quite common in England) and a saver on the rank outsider, the 2nd fav was gambled on and became a short priced fav, the original fav. blew out,
it suddenly dawned on me that I could now back the original fav as well and still make a decent profit no matter what won, I did just that and listened to the race with a very big smirk on my face, at last I knew how a bookie feels!

wouldnt think so as they would have to prove that you knew the race had been run & won, an impossibility me thinks


but fester, why the heck did you only have $1 on??!!

unless your account was a bit dry at the time, (its ok, weve all been there!), yee gods man youve blown a golden opportunity! & dont give me that "scruples" ****, as i dont & wont believe you, this racing afterall.....

You should have hit the trifecta!!!!
Which tote was it Fester? And how long after the race did it close?
I'm going to stop wasting my time rating races and write a program that checks the totes to see if they forget to close them.
