__Kratos__ Posted July 13, 2006 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2006 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."

antigravity Posted July 16, 2006 #12 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Yeah I was also thinking that she wished she had bet a dollar. Funny thing is I'll bet she's already given, or will give $20,000 to the track in her lifetime, it all evens out. The track is a losing-man's game even though they all claim that they win.
