I gave a guy I know (an acquaintance, more of a friend of a friend) a 5 horse exacta box which he played for a buck (30.00 outlayed) and came back 170.00
The guy is a sports bettor who has never showed an interest in the track. Absolutely floored that he made 5x his investment- And called me this week to find out if I was playing this weekend - Wants to learn how to handicap horses.
Agree completely - A sports bettor that gets a taste of a big payout will at least show an interest in wanting to learn more -
