    basically a free $20 at hollywood sportsbook on a prop for the Belmont.

    they might be missing two ZEROS on this prop..This is a beyond huge overlay

    caped at $500 to win $20 so you cant retire however!

    hollywood sportsbook (and all those other shops that use the same software and platform hint hint hint)...

    risk what? there is no risk..other than they never pay you I suppose...but if you have cash there at these shops now that risk is there already...u have a much better chance of getting hit by lightening twice between now and the Belmont than losing this one.

    When you win by 31 lengths like Secretariat did, that's going to be a tough one to beat, even laying 25 to win 1 is more than fair.

    I do agree this is is free money - Nobody has even come within 2 seconds of Secretariat.. even though you have to lay a lot - this is guaranteed - Especially with slow times posted in first 2 triple crown races this year.

    What's the max bet? $500 for $20, when it should be $50,000 for $20

    Boy would it suck if it was beaten

    Any horse can have the sun shine on them on anyday. That is why 1-9's get beat and the suicide rate goes up

    i got a sneaking suspition that the sportbooks offering this outlandish prop will do their own bridge jumping.like a bridge in wherethefukisthatland.far away from u.s. prosecuters.

    As much i like to say there are no such things as guarentees in life, this one will cash. This year's derby was one of the slowest in history so how could a an extra quarter mile quicken this crop of three year olds up

    4% ROI for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. That's more than a CD gets you at the bank for a year, and quite honestly, it's much safer. This is FDIC safe. I wish they would take a bigger wager.
