Do the odds decrease when you do boxes? If so, by how much?

odds don't change, but chances of winning does.

if u play a 2 horse exacta

That's crazy!

I'm not saying you're wrong, but why don't they change? It makes sense for them to decrease even just a little bit.

If they don't change, then why even have two different things to bet on: exacta and exacta box?

It cost more to box an exotic bet.
example
$2 exacta cost $2
$2 exacta box cost $4
