I was at the Prix De L’Arc a couple of years ago.
I stuck 20 euro on the first race, which won me about 100 euro.
Decided it would be a good idea to stick my 100 euros on the next race, which also won. I now had 700 euro in my pocket.
The next race was a big one and I’d already picked my horse. Was so so close to sticking all 700 euro on it, on the basis that it was free money anyway. Decided against it since the 700 euro would pay for my flights and hotel. Put 20 euro on instead.
Bloody horse won by about 20 lengths, which would have netted me about 4000 euro 🙁
Not exactly a loser, but had a wee bit of a bitter taste in my mouth for the rest of the weekend!
