i'm done. too many things can go wrong...think about it.
the horse won't go in the gate - or, more likely, the one you bet on is in and goes crazy because another one won't go in.
the horse won't come out of the gate - or falls to its knees while trying to get out of the gate.
the jock falls off.
it's rained and the horse doesn't like a sloppy track...or the reverse.
the horse pulls an outside number, likes to run on the front, and uses itself up trying to get to the lead or finds itself on the lead when it wants to come from behind.
the jock drops his whip.
another jock slashes your horse across the face with his whip.
a tiring horse cuts your horse off in the stretch.
your horse breaks down.
a foul is called - and upheld...your horse, the winner, comes down.
the teller punches the wrong ticket - and you don't bother to check it.
the trainer is a liar and a cheat.
too many people between you and a winner.
on the other hand, only three things can go wrong when you throw the dice: craps on the comeout, a seven after you've numbered, and forgetting to raise your bets when you're on a roll.
