According to the article, Kid, there were 186 5 of 6 tix & of those 186 Mr Single had 108, which they're saying would result in a $33k payoff per other ticket if all of Mr Single's tix are voided. The article also implies that the reason they would not pay 4 of 6 is because it would be too difficult because most if not all tix have been discarded, which was my original question. Interesting, isn't it, that Mr Single had only opened the acct 2 weeks before the BC & this was his 1st ever bet using the acct.

I'm not JB, but the punter in question, known at the time as the mystery man from South or North Dakota, made an approx $280k win bet on Monarchos a second or so before the gate opened which, as a result of the 1 min cycle in use at the time, made it appear as though bets were made after the race had started. BTW, it's funny no one ever mentions that the bet in question(and similar bets) caused the odds of the other horses to go up. The cycle has since been reduced to 30 seconds, which is apparently as good as it's going to get if most of the money is bet offtrack & you want to give some guy in an OTB in Kansas, for example, the opportunity to make bets up to the time the gates open.
