I have a betting account and have a bet about twice a month, just if I see some horse that takes my fancy (mum used to be a trainer and I have ridden more trackwork than I care to remember). I saw a pic of Americain before he won the Geelong Cup and really liked the look of him and after his win in that put $3 each way on him. And I put $5 EW on So You Think because bart trains him, and backed Maluckyday as my Cup outsider (he was very long odds when I nbacked him). So yesterday morning I was lying in bed thinking if those 3 came home and I didn't have trifecta I'd feel like an awful ass, so I put $5 on for the Trifects (which is .83 of a unit bet, apparently). My first ever Trifetca bet.
So for a $26 investment I won $324, with $298 profit.
As I am out of work at the moment, and jobs have disappeared up here, it is going to come in very welcome! And it was a big thrill!
I think it must have taken a short cut to some green pastures.
