Woman’s 10 Cent Bet Pays $21,584 at Track
SWARTZ CREEK, Mich. – A woman placed a 10-cent bet at a Michigan horse track and won $21,584, a track official says. The Michigan woman, whose name was not released, made the bet Friday at Sports Creek Raceway in Swartz Creek, about 55 miles northwest of Detroit.
She placed two 10-cent Superfecta bets on a race being simulcast from the Hollywood Park track in Inglewood, Calif. The Superfecta requires gamblers to pick the four top-finishing horses in correct order.
“One of them won,” Sports Creek general manager Chris Locking told The Detroit News.
She returned to the track Monday to collect her winnings.
“Pretty good return for 10 cents, isn’t it?” Locking said.
Many tracks nationwide have introduced such 10-cent wagers to lure more customers, Locking said.
“It’s been very successful,” he said. “Twenty-thousand doesn’t happen every day, but on a regular basis you’ll see people winning $70, $200, $500 on a dime bet.”

I wanted to post this to show you the power of betting the exotics. I am sure that there was a longshot involved with this particular bet but I know that this article made me smile. I mean, once upon a time 21K was about what I made in a year’s time!
Perhaps you don’t want to bet trifectas or superfectas exclusively but my question to you is “why not at least dabble in exotic bets?”
When you get a chance check out the 10 Cent Superfecta System and if you think it might be for you give it a try risk- free. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I think that we all have a soft spot in our heart for things that our parents teach us. For me, one of the things that my Dad taught me as a boy was how to bet trifectas. He absolutely loved this exotic and would bet it just about exclusively! He passed the love for the exotics down to me I guess and I always loved the challenge of handicapping in hopes of hitting the trifecta on a couple of races at the track…and most times I would hit one or two. They may not have been huge wins in the thousands but I would walk away with more than most of my friends ever saw from a bet…perhaps between 20 and 80 bucks easy.
This is why I am working on a review and testing of “10 Cent Superfecta” which is a betting system that the author says will help you become more consisitant at winning the superfecta. I’ll tell you…I’m pretty excited about this one. I mean, winning any bet is a thrilling thing but, like the author Joey Scags explains, there isn’t anything quite like winning an exotic…trifecta or superfecta! You shake and almost feel like you’ve been caught stealing or something! You can’t stop smiling and that feeling just lingers!
So with that being said, I’ll let you know how the testing goes. I have to run and look over the form for the Derby tomorrow! No…I’m not telling you who I got!
In the meantime, if you want more information on the book 10 Cent Superfecta just click on the link….lots of good information and a really great deal that Joey has there with all the bonus stuff, 30 days free access to The Horse Racing Life pick service (I’m not a big fan of pick services but if it’s free I’d check it out) Plus you can check out the 10 Cent Superfecta risk free…doesn’t get much better than that, friend.

I have to say that up until recently I had never considered betting on the ponies for a career…and as a matter of fact, when I was younger I used to answer “Professional Gambler” when people I didn’t know asked me what I did for a living, but I was a wise crackin’ young kid. But even back then I never thought that I would seriously consider the possibility of working in that direction nor did I think that it would even be a possibility! I had no idea that folks actually made a living betting on horse races.
All of that changed not too long ago and I can’t even remember how I came across this information and began looking deeper into punting or betting on horse racing in order to make a full time living. Even writing this it sounds absurd but there are indeed untold numbers of ordinary folks just like me and you that are doing just that. How you ask? Well let me fill you in a little bit on my past…
When I was younger I always enjoyed going to the races with my father and his buddies. My Dad was pretty good at handicapping and liked to bet on trifectas and other exotics. He was the one that taught me about how to lay your bets…how to box a trifecta and what the daily double was and he would almost think out loud and this is how I learned. It wasn’t too often that we went home empty handed and on the rare occasions that we did he would say “well, I look at it as paying for a good night out” if anyone remarked that he lost at the track.
Years later I had occasion to go to the track from time to time with friends. Some were better punters than other and some were just plain lucky….but I always managed to walk away with a little bit more than I went with and people were amazed that I could pick trifectas like I did. That was years ago though and I know now that my system wasn’t anything great. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t a system at all! I would read the racing form and look at the past performances as if it was a novel. I would sit and just run all the information through my head and I would get a “feel” for how I felt the field would finish. Like I said, I had no real system…
These days, as I ponder actually building a betting bank and learn about money management and the like, I look at a racing form a little different. I have a plan…I am looking for certain things in a horse’s past performance before I lay my money down. It is no longer a gut feeling or any sort of “feeling” at all any longer. Yes, different factors are taken into consideration as I read over the form…some of the indicators that I used to look for are a part of my “betting system” and each of them carries a certain amount of weight. You see….I am no longer really gambling, as strange as that sounds. Yes, technically I am gambling but not in the traditional way that most of the general public would view it. I am not looking for that long shot that is going to pay a big dividend. I am looking for a horse that is almost a sure thing. I am looking for a low risk, low reward horse that can almost guarantee me a return on the money I lay down. My profit margin may not be huge but I would rather make ten bets where I make a little than make ten losing wagers as I wait on that longshot to run into money. Those horses are few and far between indeed.
So I hope you will follow me as I learn more about this exciting past time and live the dream that I never thought I would have the opportunity to follow.
By the way…the system that I use now is called How To Place Bet on Favourites For a Living or “How $15 Safely Makes $157.28″ It is a very simple system and is perfect for both novices and those that have been around for a while. You can actually try it risk free from the publisher, Mohammed Ali at www.PublishersParadise.info
