When I 1st read the article I had the impression that nobody else even had 5, but it seems to be saying that someone who hits 6 also cashes the same tix with 5, & that is not the case. Assuming this guy did past post, & I'd be willing to make a very large wager that he did, then the best anyone did was 5, which would make the consolation tix 4, no? But those tix have already been discarded.

JB: Good for you & your score & your picks, although I'm not entirely clear on why no one has said anything about Domedriver, who looked very good on the figures I was looking at. More to the point, the reason the Monarchos bettor wanted access to the amts bet was so he could calculate to the penny the impact his bets would have on his odds. There has never been any claim, indication or evidence that he was past posting, & he continued betting after the access was cut off. The interesting thing about the story was the lack of follow-up. At the time everyone was talking about his one(not two) yr return my position was to let me know where things stood after 5 or 10 yrs. Interesting, to me at least, that he is nowhere to be found nowadays, & Gulfstream suffered a 15% decline in handle this yr.
