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.

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.

Not so bad. I had Smarty Jones in the 2nd and 3rd pools. Can't remember what the odds were, but nothing remotely approaching 25-1 and I cashed so I can't complain.

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

Smarty Jones at 150-1 and Ghostzapper to win the Classic at 25-1.

If I never hit another in my life I'd be content with those two.

Those Hilton Odds are bogus. Viewfrom vegas.com updates them weekly.

https://www.viewfromvegas.com/Odds_and_Ends.html

Horseplayer Daily also updates them every couple of weeks. I have never cashed. But I did have $50 on The Cliffs Edge at 150-1 made the bet in late November that year. Also had Action This Day a couple of years back at 100-1, he made the the race.

This year I have made 3 future bets. And will probably bet 2 more in early January once I see them on the workout tab.

I had Captain Bodgit at 40-1. Tough beat by Silver Charm.
Same year, I had Arizona at 23-1 in NCAA basketball. Sorry Kentucky, nice cash!
This year I had Georgia at 40-1 in NCAA football. Everything fell inplace except the pollsters bumped the #7 and #8 teams past Georgia at #4.
