Santa Anita Doubles
 
ON NJBETS Doubles for Santa Anita Will Pays and payouts are at $5... Might as well post them at $100 so it looks like the payout is even higher. Whomever came up with this idea is a FOOL and it insults our intelligence. We know what you are trying to do here. If your minimum Bet is $2 you should post to $2 not some ridiculous 2.5 times it cause you want to make the payouts look Larger.

They should make it a $5 minimum double. It’s a better bet.

It is a $5 minimum with a low 15% takeout.
It's based on the last last race at Santa Anita and Golden Gate

You sure? The Golden Hour double is a $5 bet but everything else should show the minimum. Are you sure it wasn’t the Golden Hour double? Why would they show the will pay for $5? That makes no sense.

I was sober as Steve Byk when he nailed that nice Pick 4 at Churchill . Couldn't Imbed below probably too large. And to answer the next question.. YES every double reported as the below... Also be aware only the 2 racing pictures are mine. It seems this site posts “Also on IMGUR“ under my 2 pictures. They are NOT MINE.

That’s dumb they do that

A lot of tracks report a $1 will pay on the P4 and P5 even where the minimum bet is .50.

I guess I’m just used to figuring that I’m only getting 1/2 of that if I’ve bet the minimum.

I agree that it makes more sense to list payouts with the minimum available bet but it’s kind of a shoulder shrug for me. I can do the math.

I'm more than capable of doing the math and if you are implying otherwise Any Place Anywhere Anytime GOD.... You are kind of ABSENT LATELY NO? ;)

But $5 for a bet that is a minimum $2? Have you ever seen ANY TRACK report a Daily Double at $5? Why do you think they do that? The only conclusion I can come up with is they are trying to deceive those used to seeing $1 and $2 payouts thinking wow such healthy doubles at Santa Anita

Didn’t mean you couldn’t do the math. I figure most any horseplayer has skills in that area.

And I haven’t been absent. Just silent most of the time.

You and many others here usually have better opinions on horses than my own. If I can’t add value to the conversation, which is most of the time, I don’t post.

Better to thought a quiet fool than open my mouth and prove it.

You realize my first 2 sentences were intended as a joke vis a vis current events. You being God and all.

I enjoy your posts so I don’t think this applies to you.

But for some of you it sure does. :D
