That's kind of what I figured honestly. Thanks for the info. If you get enjoyment out of it and it's not breaking the bank, then it's worth it in my book. Not really any different to paying a subscription for something that you enjoy with the potential, but not guaranteed, plus of getting money back. And yes, I do think you should put the winnings in BTC. You will probably, ultimately, recoup all your costs that way.
Thanks for the update. Please let me know when she returns and I'd also be interested to know what's up with her currently if you ever find out. Based on recent form I thought she'd blow away the two that beat her home. Consequently I had 10x10 on a horse later in the day that I didn't look at the odds before the jump. It was paying $91 lol. It got up and ended up paying 69&14 or something like that. It was a good day over all.
Yep, Maloney certainly didn't ride her out, left me scratching my head until this post-race drama unfolded. I'll keep you updated as we hear of her progress.
