The 1st pick 3 is pretty typical of a pick 3 with a couple chalks in it(they only pay the win parlay.) The 2nd one is way low.People hide money in these pick 3 bets a lot.There really is no reason for a pick 3 (with decent paying horses) to pay less than a win parlay.They don't want their money to show up in the win pools.For these pick 3 bets to pay so low(like the one ending in the last race,)one of these horses in the pick 3 is being bet down(in the pick 3)to the equivalent of half their win odds.That is not the general public that does that(especially at a big track.)Believe me,the general public pretty much plays horses (in the pick 3) the same way they do in the win pools.The reason for the low pick 3 payouts(way under the win parlay) is inside money that people don't want showing up in the win pools.
