2 weeks ago, my ole ladies brother had his birthday so we drove down to baltimore. It was a wine festival at pimlico downs or whatever its called. I don't drink really, and i damn sure don't drink wine. We got there by the 3rd race, they all scrambled around for the wine booths, i scrambled around for a book, it was 4 minutes to the next race. I quickly ran through the horses, not looking one time at their odds. didn't have too much time so i just went by there average speed. went up to the teller with a minute till race and said, give me the 2 and the 4 on an exacta, boxed at 10$, so total of 20$. She went to punch it in, and said oh, the 4 scratched,,,,i said shit,,,hold on,,ok, give the 5, the 2 and the 5. got my ticket from her and went outside by myself to watch the race. it was a damn good one too. 2 had the lead for the whole thing. It was a photo finish between 4 horses for 2. I jumped up and down with excitement, then they showed the film. My 5 horse drew back for another stride, while the 6 was at full stride. i was like shit, so close. well, the official results came up and sure enough, IT WAS THE 2 AND THE 5!! i went to the computer and fed it my ticket, several times, and for some reason it wouldn't take my damn ticket. So i went up to the teller, and said, i coulda swore i won, but the machine won't take my ticket. (keep in mind, i still HAVENT LOOKED AT THE ODDS YET). She grabbed my ticket and ran it, then she says, thats because its an IRS ticket, you got to go to the IRS window to cash it. I said well, how much is an IRS ticket? she replied back anything over 600. thinking to myself, cool, i won around 700. i said where is the IRS window, she was like, your at it. WTF?? Well how much did i win? She replied, well if you bet $2 you would have won something like 656$. but you didn't bet 2$, you bet 10$. so multiply that by 5!!. Then she asked for my ID and social sec card and i gladly gave it to her. She then went to the back and got some money, came back with a stack of hundreds and paid my 3176$$$$$. i started walking away,(haven't seen anyone i went there with in like 30-45 minutes.) My old lady called, where you at? Oh, i just left the IRS window....for what??....cuz i won a little bet...so i went up and met her family, still had the cash in my hand. they were like what you win???500?? so i started to flip through my stack and showed em hundred after hundred after hundred.

Oh yeah,,,,my 2 horses i bet on, i found out the odds from the IRS window........The 2 horse was 19-1 and the 5 horse was 16-1
