KB, cause I know you care, some picks, one of these gonna win

Kyle Busch 8-1

Denny Hamlin 15-1

Greg Biffle 20-1

Brian Vickers 35-1

Jamie McMurray 50-1

Dale Jarrett 100-1

Robby Gordan 200-1

But I think your boy Dale Jr probably will take it

[kbsooner21]

Kyle Busch maybe and possibly Biffle or Hamlin. The other 4 you're going to need a big GOOD LUCK! Hope you're right about the #8 car. I like him, Johnson, Jeff Gordon, and Tony Stewart. May throw Kenseth in there and possibly Harvick. Will decide after my man puts up the odds tomorrow.

Hamlin almost got up there for you Bill. No one had anything for those top 2 cars of Harvick and Johnson though.

KB, I really tried to watch some, really, but after like 20 laps and a discussion about gear ratios with one of my older twins and a discussion with my 4 year old about the movie Cars, I still had to turn it off man. Sorry.

No sweat How did the gear ratio conversation turn out

We were discussion how gears determine low end off the line speed versus top end speed. Equating it to a 10 speed bike got him to understand.

You do have a little gear head in you after all

Well he wanted to know if you could drive a nascar car on the road. I explained besides all the things like turn signals, doors, etc, that it didn't have, that it would not function really well for normal traffice driving, that is where the conversation started

Sorry to change gears on you (no pun intended ) but I'm looking over some horse racing results and wanted to know what exactly is the difference between a quinella and an exacta box?

No problem.

They really are the same exact thing, but they COST and PAY differently.

A quinella is picking 2 horses to come in first and second, order not important.

An exacta is picking 2 horses to come in first and second in a particular order. When boxing them you have made the same bet as a quinella

For example, the 2nd race at Belmont yesterday 11/12.

You can bet a $2 Exacta box, which would have cost you $4. The winning exacta was 4/8. By boxing it if it came out 4/8 or 8/4 you would have won. It paid (after the track pool I think 17% take out) $150.50. If you bet a $2 Quinella it would have cost you only $2, as the horses are already boxed. So 4/8 and 8/4 are winners. BUT it only paid $69.50. It was only $69.50 because the bet cost less, and it is not exactly half of the exacta because the pool was not exactly the same as the exacta pool. If you would have chanced the same $4 for the Quinella as the Exacta box, you would have been paid $139, once again because of the pool size.

Hope that explains it!!
