did u see results of dover downs,, 10th race lastnight,,, 1/5 ran out of money,, someone put 40,000 on it to show,, show prices were all over 100, and 1 was 200,,, but what really is amazing, is the exacta ,and trifecta payoffs,, very very low...

    I did not watch the race, but I did look at the results and you have to remeber everything is done by a "pool" of money which a percent is taking out and then the remainder is divided by number of winning tickets. But in this case you say the Exacta and Trifecta were low, Exacta $479 and a Tri of $4486 isnt too low! Im sure there wasnt a big pool for each of these wagers! Deffinlty the money to be made on those Races (SHOW PLUNGER RACES) where some group or person places 10K or more on the show, it is safe to bet $5 or even $2 on all the other Horses, in this case it would have costed you $14 or $35 you get atleast 2 in the show spot so you get some of your investment back, and look at the upside, $14 gets you back over $460, but you have to follow horse racing and know when there is a show plunger!

    Glad you pointed that out, Thats going to take a little while for that plunger to get his money back!
