This would have left you $37.80 on each horse in the last leg, leaving a final tally of $51.03 after the third leg. $12 investment = $51 return. This would vary a bit since you couldn't make $.50 wagers but the math for the parlay is accurate.
Ok, so you put the full amount of the ticket and not the $1, you put total cost divided by total first leg and go from there. Good information
