So about the derby do they still just use paper tickets for some bets and if so what happens to all the tickets that got ripped up when they saw their horse lost?
I'm sure the Derby uses paper tickets for bets. The national and local lotteries do and they are bearer instruments, so you would be stupid to do electronic bet tickets if you were the Derby because you could hope the tickets are destroyed or lost and then you wouldn't have to pay out the bet because of it being a bearer instrument.

Next door to you in New Mexico. I guess we don't put spicy stuff on our fruit and save it for everything else! :wink: Actual spicy hot sauces for tacos, eggs, ice cream, etc. are plentiful and cheap here.
Maybe it's Kroger then? B/c I've 100% bought shit in NM. lol

Now that I think about it, there's a reason I only shop the sales at Fry's lmao.

Imagine yourself on your hands and knees in the stands, searching in the trash barrels . . .
Growing up, I used to live down the street from Arlington Race Track. We always had plenty of torn up tickets thrown on our front yard and in the streets after a race.

Favorite is tough. It's easier to name the sucks - Tapatio (too little heat), Taco Bell "Fire" and "Hot" which are also too lame but what do you expect from a national chain serving the vast majority of people who don't eat authentic mexican food on a regular basis and are used to actual heat. The only heat I haven't tried yet is Scorpion pepper salsa but that's $20 instead of $2.
Never heard of Scorpion . . . I think a lot of taste, not just the heat, comes from the type of pepper used . . . Cholula uses Arbol and Piquin peppers, Sriracha uses Jalapeno peppers, and Tobasco uses Tobasco peppers.

I have done and would do far worse things for the kind of money you could get from those winning derby tickets. I mean even a 10 dollar bet is 650 bucks.
Me too! But it's different being a scavenger than some poor soul who tossed away a winning ticket . . . don't know why, but just seems so to me.

Oh I misinterpreted I thought you were talking about industrious people trying to find discarded winning tickets not sad people who tore up their own ticket. Yeah trying to find my own torn up ticket would make me sad.

One thing I do for easy/good paying studies is write in the feedback box "Good HIT. please consider emailing me if there is additional research. i'd love to help out".
I haven't got any emails yet but you never know
I drop strange facts in the comments section sometimes.

Stuff like

"The stage before frostbite is called “frostnip."

and

"Before the term “bloopers” was coined, ‘out-takes’ were called ‘boners’."

Despairagus @Despairagus that one's for you :wink:

I've received a bonuses ranging from .05-.50 cent sent my way in appreciation or accusation as a result.
One requester admitted that she exhaled her coffee through her nose because I'd caught her unaware.
I just do it because I do shit like that. It's definitely not worth the time involved for the occasional bonus but it does break up the monotony a little bit.

My dad took my brother and me to a horse race once and gave us a few dollars and showed us how to bet. He said, I clearly remember, hold onto your ticket until there an official verification and announcement of the winner.

I haven't heard 'boner' used like that in years!
