it's just stupid on so many levels.

Not to mention that the percentage of odds-on favorites that finish in the money has to be way less than 99%.

If you have the 200,000 what do you need the 10,000 for?

and if you have two dollars why do you need ten cents?

I doubt these people are down to their last 200k. I'm guessing there are multi millionaires that want their racing rush just like the regular joes. Besides, it makes for good boasting at the club when you hit.

If bridge jumpers were multi-millionaires looking for a rush I doubt they'd find it playing horses to show for a 5% return.

But if they love the game, how else would they play ... for that dime?

Or maybe spend a few million on some yearlings ? Talk about bridge jumping.

Big win bets, pick sixes, etc. . . Maybe buying horses. Most likely playing craps or blackjack at a casino or betting on sports, though. I think somewhere on here you can find a post about Nick Lachey's betting habits - very illuminating.

But other sports aren't horse racing, and neither is blackjack. I'd probably go the pick six route and play big tickets when the pots get fat.

now I am not saying it was a good idea... but it was a better idea than betting the horse to win.
