The 143rd<\/sup> Kentucky Derby took place recently, and one lucky gambler managed to win a massive sum of money off a tiny bet. If ever a time machine would come in handy, this would be it. Thanks to the less than ideal conditions, with a wet track, several long shots were able to place higher than expected. If you were lucky enough to correctly guess the finishing order, you\u2019d definitely walk away smiling.<\/p>\n

\"Kentucky<\/p>\n

<\/span>Kentucky Derby Superfecta\u2019s huge payout<\/span><\/h2>\n

This is precisely what happened to one lucky gentleman, who correctly guessed the top four finishers, in what\u2019s known as the superfecta. Correctly predicting the superfecta is always difficult, so it\u2019s bound to pay out well. However, thanks to those wet conditions, several long shot horses placed higher than expected and made the Superfecta worth even more.<\/p>\n

So, our lucky gentleman placed a $1 bet, guessing the top four finishers and against all odds, he was 100% correct. Because of the long shots placing higher than expected, his $1 bet became a massive $75\u00a0974.50 win. Just imagine for a second if he\u2019d placed a $10 or even a $100 bet. Having said that, you still can\u2019t complain about turning $1 in just under $76\u00a0000 in a little over two minutes. Sports betting<\/a> can really pay off sometimes.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Kentucky Derby Finishing Order<\/span><\/h2>\n

The race took just over two minutes to run, and the winner was ‘Always Dreaming’, ridden by John R. Velazquez. ‘Always Dreaming’ was very much the favorite for the race, with bookmakers offering odds of 9-2. For winning the race, Always Dreaming won $1\u00a0240\u00a0000.<\/p>\n

Finishing in second place was ‘Looking at Lee’, with ‘Battle of Midway’ in third place. For finishing in second and third, they won $400\u00a0000 and $200\u00a0000 respectively. ‘Looking at Lee’ and ‘Battle of Midway’ were both considered to be long shots, so finishing second and third definitely helped make the superfecta even more lucrative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
