"Andy made the required $$$ bets"

In addition to making the $1,750 bets on Derby Day & getting the complete set for my collection, I also made $250 bets during the Preakness & Belmont & picked up two more of the white Third Crown chip below. I sold those two for $175 each which knocked down my total cost for my three chip set to $125. If Gene's source is correct & a 100 sets got out then that makes the complete set VERY hard to get. I have only seen a total of three chips on since the promotion started 6 weeks ago. One red Derby Day (Only 200 made) which went for $305 just after the Derby & was a bargain as far as I'm concerned & two white Third Crowns. One went for $155 & the other auction was pulled. I think 100 sets getting out is a little high though, according to the people at the Hard Rock that I have talked to. I'll know more in a month or so when the remaining chips get sent back to be destroyed. Andy - Las Vegas
