Belmont Stakes Help!?!?

Guys, I have very little knowledge on horse racing, so bear with me. I played this Trifecta Box with a local (online) and hit. $3 Trifecta Box so total bet $18. Just got home thinking I would have won something like $450 (since a $2 Trifecta paid $295). However, my account shows I only won $135.......

Can someone shed some light on why the payout is so low (has something to do with my local?!?!?!). Haven't check with the local yet, but dying to know why just $135....

    I would guess it has something to do with the local.

    Just because the payout at the tracks and most online books was $295 for a $2 Tri doesnt mean everyone has to pay out that amount. Maybe the payout is based on that websites pool of money that they take in for the race.

    Thanks Snake. A friend of mine said the same thing you did..... I am still hoping they made some sort of error, but sounds like you guys are right...... Hate to complain about a win, but if this is true, F*&$!!!!!!!!!!

    even some of the offshore books dont pay full value on the horses........big differences in the
    payout....

    thats why u have to go with tvg or a OTB because they go with the whole pool and thus you get the real payout
