I'll take it at face value that the parlay was $2000.

How anyone thinks they are entitled to 10k on a 2k parlay is beyond me. The only time you're gonna get that is if its a betdown at race time (like a hot horse or 1st starter).

Let me set you straight, this business of no faves winning is overblown nonsense. You think you're the only capper looking to beat the fave? And the fave doesn't even have half the pool on it unless its odds on.

Very few folks understand the betting dynamics of exotic pools, and think they are entitled to enormous payoffs when in fact they are not.

If the guy that offered 10k was good for it, you blew the easiest score of your life.
