Christopher Harn, a 29-year old computer programmer, worked for Autotote, a company that recorded over half of the nation's electronic horse racetrack wagers. In 2002, he beat the system from the inside. Using two former fraternity brothers as bagmen, he defrauded the Breeders' Cup Pick Six but when a 43-to-1 long-shot won the final race, Harn and his accomplices were the only winners of a $3.2 million pot, which drew the attention of authorities. Their win launched a Federal investigation and all three went to prison after Harn confessed. This in-depth episode covers the scandal from Harn's masterminding of the schemes to the stunning upset that brought them down, ANYTHING TO WIN gets inside one of American sports' richest betting scams.
