Nothing like a 942,249% return on investment.

A horse bettor won $471,124.50 on a bet that he paid 50 cents for on Saturday.


The winning ticket had Realm (11-1), English Minister (3-1), Site Read (21-1), Hey Bro (24-1) and Saratoga Mischief (6-1) all winning the first five races at Saratoga Race Course, which they did.

Because there was only one ticket that had all five of these winners, the bettor from New Jersey, who requested anonymity, won the entire pooled payout.

Man shoots down drone hovering over house
by Chris Matyszczyk @ChrisMatyszczyk July 30, 2015 4:31 PM PDTA
Kentucky man thinks it unacceptable when a drone floats over his property. So he shoots it down. Then the drone's owners come calling.

Merideth, 47, lives in Hillview, Kentucky. As WDRB-TV reports, a neighbor heard gunshots and called the police. Merideth allegedly told the police that a drone was hovering over his house, where his teen daughter (he has two) was sunbathing. So he pulled out his gun and gave it a merry death.

The drone's owner, police say, said he was flying it to take pictures of a neighboring house.

<snip>

He says that shortly after the shooting, he received a visit from four men who claimed to be responsible for the drone and explaining that it cost $1,800.

Merideth says he stood his ground: "I had my 40 mm Glock on me and they started toward me and I told them, 'If you cross my sidewalk, there's gonna be another shooting.'"

I think I side with the shooter on this one. That'd be invasive and annoying as hell, having a drone buzzing over your place so people could look at you.

Would you shoot a helicopter down then too?

No, because there are people in a helicopter. But if they were hovering right over my house I might shoot a paintball gun at them. Or something that's not likely to hurt them.

Take a picture of the tail number and forward it to the FAA. Quickest way to get your peepee smacked or a fine would be to hover over homes/built-up areas. I'd shy away from sending any kind of foreign object that way, as they love to get sucked into an engine and become the quickest way to meet the ground unwillingly.
