One of the more bizarre tote glitches happened at Pimlico around 1980 when the newer tote machines didn't comprehend a three ply entry running 1-2-3 and payed out the exacta 1/all for $4. Weeks later they honored the backers of the 7 horse (who finished fourth) their $9 payout but by that time 90% of those tickets were probably cashed for $4. That race did turn out to be profitable for the floor sweepers.
