Didn't the payout for the 49-1 betting used to be 2.5 mil? Today, I just realized that it was 250k. I could swear that it was 2.5 mil when I first won it, but today, it only gave me 250k :(
I don't check the forums too regularly so this might have come out before, but just wanted to make sure.

Yes this has been discussed. The 2.5 million was a coding error and has been patched.

It was changed Sept 1st with the sci-fi update. Here's the info:
SEPTEMBER 1ST Update1 (SciFi Patch 4)
At the Go-Kart Track, the chances of winning 2-1 was changed from 56.51% to 66.01%, 9-1 from 33.15% to 20%, 19-1 from 7.83% to 10% and 49-1 from 2.52% to 4%.

The money obtained from winning 49-1 at the Go-Kart Track was changed from $2.500.000 to $250.000.

The Monorail Tunnels are now not placable one after the other without accessing inventory menu, solving a bug that allowed mountains to be removed.

The glitch that allowed infinite currency from tapping the Big-Digi Ben on friend towns was fixed.

Robot Parts and Future Bucks now won't appear in the HUD till one is collected.

Sadly, EA finally caught on and changed it. Now betting there is as pointless as betting at Springfield Downs. :(

:( that sucks. thanks for the info though

So, people actually claim that Go Karts is possible to win?????

I've had 3 Dog Races prizs since Go Karts was implemented, but never a single Go Kart win.. By statistics, I should have double the number of Dog Races wins..

I've only won 1 time when first introduced, play 2x sometimes 3x in 24hrs and am about done trying. I get not winning often and im not lucky but not winning at all is ridiculous. Even if i do win $250,000 im still loosing $ at this point. ive tried several strategies weekly, including staying with one color racer, choosing highest odds, lowest odds, random choice of racer. I know that im not the luckiest person but you would think i would win one once in a while by chance. Im thinking Fat Tony just wants my $ :lol:

Yup. I never won that rigged game

I'm not winning at either track, and of the last 44 donut boxes I've opened only 11 were free. Something's changed, or else I'm having an extremely unlucky streak. :evil:

I've got it in storage. Only reason I have Springfield Downs out is for robot Smithers task.

Hmm. I frequently win this mini-game at the low odds pick. In fact, I just won this morning.
