A little tip - with those betting machines, they don't scan the text or care about the texture of the paper - all they do is read the "barcode" dots on the ticket and payoff the money on a winning ticket with another voucher. So you could make a photocopy of the ticket, cut it with scissors to fit in the tote machine, the machine will payoff from the copy, and then you'll have your original ticket as a souvenir and the cash.

And no, if you then stick the original ticket back in the tote macine, it will not payoff again. LOL

Wow, that's funny - but if he wins, it's going to pay 1-10 anyway - in other words, $2.20 on a $2 bet.

Actually he could pay as low as $2.10 to win, but it will likely be $2.20 - chicken feed in any event...but better than ripping 'em up as the railbirds say.

I ain't been a gamblin' in quite some time and I almost forgot about NY racetrack payoffs - they pay on a dime with breakage, not just on every 20 cents...so he could even pay $2.30 - good information if you're thinking of plunking down 100 thou or so on the race. LOL

Brian - If that were true and it could double your money on each tote ticket, you think I'd tell anybody about it? LOL

Bump. Let me know if you're thinking of going.
