For me it would be akin to attending a sale in which I dont want to buy anything because the prices are still too high for the value of the product.

But thats me.

I am also famous for not liking Pik bets (and I got raked
for that) unless I really like all the races I am betting. I see it as more entertainment.
So I still put them together, I just realize I am not following
my usual betting principles. I dont/cant live off this game like
some apparently do.

What I would like to know is how the guy that put 200k on her got the money into the pool so quickly. With 3MTP, the money wasn't there, with 1MTP, the money was in there.

Now at Arlington, the max dollar amount wager is $250, which you can hit multiple times, so he would have had to have 800 $250 show bets on that horse here. Now, I have punched out a ticket 100 times before, and it has taken me about 4 minutes to do it, and that is just hitting the repeat button

Batch betting?

Excuse the ignorance.
But this sort of implies you would need more than one person placing
bets. Is this correct?

Cause I, like Scavs, dont get how you make a 200k bet in the last minute.

That's not what batch betting is. . . here's an explanation: http://www.chrb.ca.gov/committee_pac...pr2003PMOC.pdf

I would imagine it was arranged ahead of time. Maybe even done in Vegas.

$1000.00 can go on each ticket ( 4 x 250 )

200 tickets

200 tickets

That is kinda what I was thinking but still, 200 tickets is no joke, that is about 1.5 or 2 inches worth of tickets, all having to be punched in 2 minutes, I dont see it.....

I am just curious how it was done, that is all..Maybe some totes can take a 1k bet, and then it would only be 50 tickets

Why are you assuming that some dude walked in to a track/sportsbook with $200K and placed the bet?
