RS, go and take a look at today's result in Gulfstream's 6th race. The longshot ran second, behind the chalk. The chalk's odds were 1.50/1, the longshot's, 18.40/1. The $1. exacta paid $22.50. The place on the longshot paid $12.40 for $2.
Ok, you tell me which is gonna net you more, that $22.50 exacta played straight? Or that $12.40 place ticket? Now keep in mind too, you also lost the $50. you bet on him to win.
