I was at the fields yesterday making my plays and was distracted. I made my regular plays and made 6 more small money line plays to win $10 each (no biggie). On my site if you are making the same $$ wager, you can group them together.

I guess I wasn’t paying good attention (was distracted when making the plays) as when I hit to win $10 and then “done” (on my phone), I hit the number 3 before I hit done. Then when I hit to confirm my plays, I wasn’t paying attention and hit “confirm”.

4 hours later I go back to my site (this time on desktop) to log in all of my plays and I see that I have a crap load of $$ in pending wagers.

turns out instead of playing to win $10, I was playing to win $103.

When this happened, 2 of my games already went off and 4 haven’t played yet. I thought about buying back pre game or live betting and then decided to let it ride.

I had won my first 2 games and thought this could be an awesome error as my goal was to go 3-3 and just pay a little juice as lesson learned.

I ended up losing the other 4 games.

that’s a nice $275 lesson I learned yesterday when just trying to make “minimum bets”!!

I've got a million racetrack stories like this. Supposed to always double check the tickets punched but usually only find out the error after the race.

Bad luck comes in a lot of forms.

Mistake bets for me have always been a winner. It is usually the time difference in Vegas and I am delirious in the morning but I always let them ride and have never lost one. Wish I could pick winners when I dont make a mistake.

Title sounds like it could be a mobsters mafia name.

You could always count on Stupid Fat Fingers to strangle someone but never when it comes asking him to make a bet for ya.

Couple weeks back I went to put in a big live bet on USC at home against washington st. Totally brain farted and put it in on Wash St. Needless to say USC crushed by like 20. Didn't even have to check the score.
