Here is the question again ...
"1. Willyconker wins and pays $23.00 to win. 0.80-to-1 favorite Mr Commons finishes 2nd. The $2 exacta returns $48.00
True or false -- people who bet Willyconker to win could have had better than even money odds on Mr. Commons beating the remainder of the field for 2nd place in an exacta wager?"
People who bet Willyconker to win recieved $23 for $2. If Mr. Commons was exactly even money odds to beat the remainder of the field for 2nd place ... the exacta would have paid exactly $46.00
