Seems the minimum bet for Trifectas and Supers at Laurel is $1. At least it was today on XpressBet. I'm really bumming because I was soooo looking forward to betting Laurel tomorrow I even spent hours handicapping before the rude shock. (Funny thing is that XpressBet says the minimum bets are 50 cents and 20 cents, however, when you bet those amounts, they are not accepted). Suppose I'll concentrate on Churchill and Aqueduct for tomorrow.

Bon Chance everyone!!

While the minimum increment might be 50-cents, sometimes there is a minimum cost to the wager. Some tracks will allow a 50-cent bet, others will require at least $1 to be played. But I just checked LRL and it allows 50-cents straight.

It can be difficult to find a little thing like that sometimes. I couldn't find it either on the Laurel website. I don't think that daily racing form or equibase results indicate the payoff for 50 cent tris at Laurel, either. I guess the easy way to do it, when in doubt about whether a track takes the 50 cent wager or not, is to look at the results for the track on your Xpressbet account and you can see whether the 50 cent results are there. In the case of Laurel, they are. Also, the minimum for supers is a dime.

Thanks so much for the input Cal and Travis. I called Laurel Park and they informed me that they do in fact take minimum bets of 10 cents and 50 cents at the track, however, XpressBet (and others online) may not. I tried w/XpressBet and they do not. No worries. Will play other tracks Getting excited for Aqueduct and Churchill this afternoon. WOOT!
