Default Has anyone ever made a successful Futures bet?
On the 1st round?

I would think Vegas would clean up here.

Maybe a Football bet on your favorite team, but with over a hundred horses, I can't find the CASH to send in.

War Pass at 11-1 is the biggest bet against in the history of futures, lol...

Me and a buddy of mine do a handful every year, fully realizing that it's a bad bet. It's just fun to try and pick out a derby horse early. We only take them at big odds.

Here's what we have for this year (some bet in Sept. and some in Nov.)

J Be K 75-1
Ready's Echo 100-1
Sangaree 125-1
Major General 125-1
Wicked Style 125-1
Referee 150-1
Eaton's Gift 150-1
Cave's Valley 150-1
Paint 150-1
Aquarian 200 -1

I havent made many of them since the '04 (i think) BC i had 3 of the post time favs after i made the bets at least a month in advance and was so pumped to be getting like 7-1 on sightseek and some other good odds on storming home and ten most wanted and we all know how that turned out. I have watched a horse this year named Blackberry Road and posted on him earlier that i got him at 150-1 but do i expect to cash it? No but what the heck i figure if the horse is even in the gate on 1st Sat in May i'll feel like i at least made a good bet and have a chance. I think that future bets are just fun to make and follow the horse and you never know.
