Yeah. You'll win nothing. :-D

Just like the guy whose name was Peter Ninth, born on 9.9.1999, who was living in flat number 9... On his 19th birthday he bought a ticket on horse race for the horse number 9.

The horse ended up ninth.

Did Peter Ninth bet that horse number nine would come in 1st or something? After all of those nines, he went against it regardless, and lost? Peter needs to pick another pony if he's gonna gamble against all odds anyway

I'm... Not sure. It's an old joke and I only remember the point, and I basically wrote it from scratch. :-D
