MY FIRST EXPERIENCE AT JAIALAI WAS ABOUT 35 YEARS AGO AT MGM
IN VEGAS. THEY HAD A BET CALLED TWIN EXACTA AND SINCE IT WAS A
$5 BET IT DID NOT BUILD A BIG POOL BUT ILOVED IT BECAUSE IF YOU
GOT THE FIRST HALF THE SECOND HALF WAS A FORCE OUT IF NO ONE PICKED
THE EXACTA. ONE NITE I HAD AN EXCHANGE AND WAS HOPING FOR A SPLIT
PAYOFF IN THE SECOND HALF. THEY NEVER ANNOUNCED HOW MANY EXCHANGES
WERE LIVE BUT I DID NOT THINK THERE WERE MANY. AT THE END OF THE
SECOND HALF I WAS PISSED BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE EITHER NUMBERAND
THREW MY TICKET TO THE FLOOR. THEN I LOOKED AT THE TOTE BOARD
AND THE PAYOFF WAS ALL-ALL.IT WAS AT TIME I PICKED UP MY TICKET
AND REALIZED I HAD THE ONLY EXCHANGE AND I COULD NOT LOSE. PAYOFF
WAS OVER $1500.
35 YEARS LATER STILL LOOKING FOR A LUCKY HIT LIKE THIS.
