Sort of the same, but I was at Scioto Downs one evening with my little sister. I had the only program between us for the day, and we were watching and betting on some of the races at Scioto on their card.
The people at the table next to us got up and left, leaving behind their program with 2 races left on the card. My sister picked it up, and started looking through it. They had handicapped the entire card, and she started to realize that they were pretty good. I wasn't really paying attention, until she finally said "If those people played all of their picks they were doing great." I compared their picks to the results, and realized they had done well. So, there was only 1 race left on the card, and I blindly played their 3 picks in a Exacta/Trifecta box. Cost $12, but I was doing OK on the day. I went about playing some other tracks, and looked up when she said that our horses were coming in. Turns out, if I had looked at their picks closely, I would have never bet like a 50-1 in the pick, but he came in to win, and our Exacta paid around $550. We were quite excited, and decided to split the money, since I made the bet and she figured it out, but neither had put the actual work into handicapping the race. We were both happy, and honestly hoped that the people that left the program actually bet on the race and made a little scratch, too... ALostTexan

I was bartending at canterbury back in the early 90s and a backstrecher tells me a 50-1 quarter can't loose so I bet him on top of three horses and he wins at 55-1 and the exacta pays $550

1978. I was traveling from Detroit to Myrtle Beach. I stopped in Cinci at River Downs. It was pouring rain. A trainer I knew and who had a son I was friends with spotted me and called me over. He asked what I was doing and after a couple minutes he asked me how much money I had. I told him $200. He told me to take $20 and bet his horse in the first race. The horse was a first time starter named Royal Stearic. He went off at 6-1 and won by two lengths. Patrick B. Devereux was a good man. Pat, Jr., I hope you are doing well, wherever you are.
