To ensure that you eventually win, you should bet on the same horse every time. Statistically, this horse will eventually win, and should not take more than around five attempts. Once you win, save the game again and you can repeat if required. The highest possible bet you can wager is $9,999,995, which, given that you can only add by increments of 10,000, will take up to 1,000 hits of the button and around 3-4 minutes to accomplish each time. If you happen to win on a horse with high stakes, 11-1 or higher for example, your winnings can add up to phenomenal levels. | To ensure that you eventually win, you should bet on the same horse every time.

Note that 4/5 Times Blue or Teal will always win the race, and it can become extremely frustrating, especially if your horse jetted off the starting line and then slowed down. Do not let this change your mind though, because the chances are the horse you previously bet on will win if you bet on a different one. | Note that 4/5 Times Blue or Teal will always win the race, and it can become extremely frustrating, especially if your horse jetted off the starting line and then slowed down.
