Gamblers and near-misses
In a related story, I hit 5 of 6 in the CD Pick Six on "Carryover Day". The horse who screwed me was my 4th choice in the race, but I only went two deep. I feel like I basically won. It was awesome....

you only win if you get money back.
When the Phillies were up by 2 with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th a couple weeks ago, and blew it and lost.. I did not think of that as "basically a win". Though I could see near misses helping those people who missed put more money back into the pools later on.. so thats a good thing.

I think that Justin Dew was being facetious about it being a win.

I have hit 5 of 6 probably 15 times in my life, and each and every time I felt like "You got to be shitting me"... I liken it to trying to bang this hot chick, you finally get her in your ride, you are prepping the muscles for execution later in the night, you start making out with her, and then she puts the kabosh on you and says "You gotta wait till next time buddy" I wish that on nobody

if you get 5 of 6 and the one you didn't get was one you would have never got
that's ok but if it is one of those times that you got stubborn and saved money that hurts hell, I have trouble getting 3 out of 3 but I never play a pick 3 if I can't get a price.

This guy me, Tector and DrugS knew on AOL, he was this fanatic Juddmonte/Frankel fan that played that combo all the time.
He played a p6 once that had a big c/o and left off a Judd/Frankel that was, I believe, the second choice. He ended up going 5 for 6, with the lone loss being the Judd. Nobody hit the 6 that day and it would have paid something like 400k. Classic.
