Belmont 5-13

No, the payout information is for a $2 Exacta. So you get $90 for every $2 Exacta. A $2 Exacta box using 2 horses cost $4. The cost has nothing to do with the pay-out. A $10 Exacta box using 2 horses would cost you $20. But you would get in the example above $90 X 5 or $450

Best way to learn about it is to Google about it, there are SOOOOOO many ways to bet a race.

I think I'm starting to get it. Thanks for your patience and advice, BillMill71.

I did Google and got a lot of sites, but many of them were confusing. They would explain how to BET on the race, but not how to calculate your winnings.

Let's see if I get this:

Let's say a payoff reads $11.90 $7.80 $4.20 for a winning horse. Let's say I wagered $5 for the horse to W. So, I would take $11.90 - $2.00 = $9.90/2 = 5 to 1 odds.

So, since I wagered $5 and my odds are 5-1, I win $25.

Right?

If u wager $5 to win

and it paid $11.90 to win on every $2.00

you would get:

$11.90 x 2.5 = $29.75 back

You can't really calculate your winnings till after the race is finished. If u put a bet in when the odds are 4-1 you are not locked in at 4-1 you get the post time odds (whatever it may be at the time the gate opens).

A $2 exacta box costs $4.

So if the final payout is $90.00 for the exacta and I wagered $2 on a two-horse exacta, do I calculate:

$2 x $90.00 = $180.00
OR
$4 x $90.00 = $360.00
???

Sorry, I'm new to this and find it a bit confusing.

It cost you $4.00 because when you box u are playing all the possible combonations. You only get pd on the winning combo

Horse won easily ran away with it. 3-5 was better than the 1-9 it was at 1 point.

Since the #1 got scratched i had the #2 in a cold exacta. $7.00 exacta on the $1 isn't bad for a 3-5 winner
