I am not going to complain i an not going to cry i just want to post some numbers and people can interpet them how they feel and respond

PIck 4 win parlay for $2 pays over $18,000 , actual $2 pick 4 pays 8,686 , or less than 50% of the win parlay of the winners

Pick 3

races 2-4 pays $1,739 (win parlay pays $1,031) - this seems to be a good one

races 3-5 pays $1,470 (win parlay pays $2,318) - can this be right?

rces 4 -6 pays $2,364 9 (win parlay pays $2,982)

how does the pick 3 payoff pay more for races 2-4 then races 3-5? i just don't get it?

Not sure about this one, but on Foster day this year at Churchill the late P4 paid more than the P6. Only time I have seen that.

Marty,

They are individual pools. There are vagaries. How have the guaranteed Saturday P4 pools paid like 2X the parlay these first three weeks? How does the Magna 5 pay twice the parlay some weeks?

Multi-race pools are not formulamatic...

Steve - shouldn't the p4's or p5's always pay more than the win parlay or at the very least around 85% of the win parlay? How can today's pick 4 come back only around 45% of the win parlay , i would have thought the early pick4should have paid around $25k

i can understand a payout that is 80 - 90 % of the win parlay , but when we get down into the 60% or even today like the 40% range it's very strange

This stuff is supposed to be fun and bring some enjoyment. What's the point of betting if nearly everyday you're whining about something else?

the main thing that needs to be said that just because a horse is 8/1 in the Win Pool, that doesn't mean the horse was 8/1 in the P4 pool.

You do it for enjoyment? I do it because I love the pain of running 2nd all the f'n time
