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

but why chance it ? will 20 bucks realy matter??

**trytrytry** · 05-31-11, 05:20 PM

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.

we got nicknames for guys like you: "bridge jumper" and my personal favorite, "$2.10"

definetly a rare breed who place bets on (-2500)

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.

**zou1222** · 06-01-11, 09:18 AM

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

**callmejrk1** · 06-01-11, 12:46 PM

it will cash but i dont think they will pay it

**jgs357** · 06-01-11, 01:54 PM

really not a good ROI so why do it??

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.
