I worked opening day at Del Mar
and though I was assigned the 4th floor,
it turned out to be a pretty good window.
I enjoy guiding the newcomers through the experience,
but I had a couple of really good players in my section.
Strong, smart players. Confident. I was impressed.
Each teller begins the day with $880,
but on big days I draw an extra two grand.
That usually covers the day. After a few races
there's much more $$$ than that in the till.
One of my impressive gentleman gamblers
played Pick 3 and Pick 4s. Horizontals.
Doubles and such. After the fourth race
I called for another $2,000. My bettor had hit me
for over $4,000! He was good and I told him so.
Late in the card I had to call the money room
to have another 10 grand brought to my window.
Folks in my section were cashing a lot of tickets.
(always good for the teller)
The fellow who impressed me most was a show bettor.
He laid down $300 to show two races in a row.
He didn't cash the first one. but he came back
with that second 300 to Show winning ticket,
and he let $680 bucks ride...
I didn't see him for the next race.
I figured he probably lost. He showed up
and had me run the ticket ... $1,360 ...
he gave me a number for the next race
and he let it roll. Cashed for over 6,700!!
The players at bad's window had a good day. 🐴🙂
