I bet via machine at the track and watch the odds.
You just put all your stuff in and wait to hit the button and make
the bet. If the odds stay as I like, I punch Print ticket, if they change,
I dont print. Its easy if you find an empty place with a TV, which
I have.

On a few (3 or 4) occassions I have hit print ticket late, after the horses got
off on accident, and got a bet through. The vast majority of the time
I get shut out.

So there is a glitch in the system somewhere with machines..
Last one I can remember would have been about
4 weeks ago while betting... I believe it was Sam Houston.

Anyone else have this happen?

This was/is a very interesting thread,
I was waiting to see if anyone had my experience
but I dont think I read any so far.
