Horse players warning

Willye · May 4, 2015

Something i did not know and made a huge mistake played a pick 3 on one of the sponsors websites well i always understood all books have max payouts which is fine no problem with that, long story short i hit a pick 3 at the track problem was i had the only winning ticket the pool was small so i would of won 2,600 the max payout at the sponsor site was 1500 which would of sucked but i knew the rules going in what i didnt know was now that i had the only winning ticket i got paid 2 out of 3, a truly bad beat i called the sponsor they said theres nothing they can do about it, which i think is a joke but anyway a warning for anyone who plays ponies online

goodluck

Worst part about it was i had 3 horses in the final leg of the pick 3 2 of them were paying out the one that won was 2 out of 3 ... Brutal

glad we have OTB only a few blocks away, have heard many stories of crazy stuff with playing the ponies online

A warning for anyone who plays OFFSHORE...you could get fucked quicker than you came at 12 years old. Offshore books are an absolute joke for US players.

Yea it was crazy because i had 3 horses in the final leg so i hit the pick 3 but i had the only winning ticket but since it was online i got paid 2 out of 3 absolutely brutal.... So 2500 turned into 45 bucks , i always understood the max payout which is fine i understand but never even thought about this i called them and obviously they said they can only go by the site played dumb ohh well

that sucks man, I would have been pissed

Willye · May 4, 2015

Yea i called them figured they would honor it being a site sponsor but no shot never even thought of having a pick 3 where nobody hits it but me online like i said i understand that they have a max payout so even if it paid 2500 i would of only got 1500 because thats the max payout on the sites pick 3 wagers thats fine i know that before i play but like i said never even thought of what happens if i have the only winning pick 3 ticket, its funny when i talk to them they act like they have no clue

Horses is one area where rules differ drastically book to book as well as agent to agent. I have learned to read the rules before playing the ponies on any site.

Good point as when i first played i forgot about the max payouts nothing i could do there i hit a good one but it is clearly listed so i never even mentioned it... But this one was weird never even though about the possiblility of me having the only winning pick 3 ticket, and nothing on the rules states anything about it, just bad timing i guess but i hit the ticket which cost me 50 bucks and got back 46.10 because it paid 2 out of 3 when i should of got back 2500 or more well onsite 1500 because thats the max payout for pk 3 at track

bookmaker is very simple and reliable with deposits and withdrawls in my experience. No complaints at all. Although I can only speak to the sportsbook as I dont play ponies.

Willye · May 5, 2015

Yes but they cut limits also so i just been playing ponies online, just dont see anywhere in the rules that you hit a pick 3 and they only pay you 2 out of 3, you would expect mgmt or someone to step up but the way their customer service is 5dimes is just as shitty as the rest of them

What track? Seems like a pretty small pool just $2600.

not co-mingling pools can help you or hurt you..its a blessing if you wanna crush win bets but never in a million years would i play deep exotics offshore.

Better off playing the lottery than at offshores.

yeah, what track? And 5 dimes doesn't co-mingled with the track's mutual pool?

Bruins4Life · May 5, 2015

I play horses off shore every week. Win 4s, Pick3s, etc.

Never been stiffed. If I were to hit a lone ticket, the rules state that they pay the pool price, less the track takeout rate. There is a 20k max profit per race.
