Default Bull, Bogus, THAT IS NOT RIGHT!

The Pick 4 and 3 payouts today

The all Stakes Pick 4 I hit, whopee

WHAT REALLY, REALLY bites me is the Pick 3 from Races 9-11

NO WAY, NO HOW IS THAT RIGHT. $3.80 on a $1? Uh uh. Nope. Not right.

I am so flipping hot on this. NO WAY THAT IS RIGHT!

Should have been at least $15

Curt, are you serious? I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but the winners were 7/10, 3/4, and 4/10. That payoff seems like a bit of a gift. An all Sheikh pick 3 by the way! My guess is taht most singled Bernardini, a ton singled Henny, and went 1-2 deep in the Baruch.

Here's the math, using 1st Sat In May's figs of 7/10, 3/4, 4/10:

The chance that all 3 win is 0.7 * 0.75 * 0.4 = 0.21

Fair odds for a 0.21 chance is 1/0.21 -1 = 3.76 to 1. So, your 3.8 to 1 was right where it should have been.

Default take out

and don't forget the take out you get from the OTB

so, if you tried to parlay those three races
you get took 3 times instead of 1 time

I could never bet a pick 3 that will pay less than $100

The risk to reward ratio is too high

of course its right Curt.....the parlay on those 3 horses is only $6.80 for $2. The Pick 3 paid $7.60 for $2.


You bet $2 win on Ashkal Way you get back $3.40
Take that $3 and bet it on Henny Hughes, you get back $5.25
Take that $5 and bet it on Bernardini, you get back $6.80.
