Santa Anita Doubles

[hi_im_god]

A lot of tracks report a $1 will pay on the P4 and P5 even where the minimum bet is .50.

I guess I’m just used to figuring that I’m only getting 1/2 of that if I’ve bet the minimum.

I agree that it makes more sense to list payouts with the minimum available bet but it’s kind of a shoulder shrug for me. I can do the math.

I'm more than capable of doing the math and if you are implying otherwise Any Place Anywhere Anytime GOD.... You are kind of ABSENT LATELY NO?

But $5 for a bet that is a minimum $2? Have you ever seen ANY TRACK report a Daily Double at $5? Why do you think they do that? The only conclusion I can come up with is they are trying to deceive those used to seeing $1 and $2 payouts thinking wow such healthy doubles at Santa Anita

Didn’t mean you couldn’t do the math. I figure most any horseplayer has skills in that area.

And I haven’t been absent. Just silent most of the time.

You and many others here usually have better opinions on horses than my own. If I can’t add value to the conversation, which is most of the time, I don’t post.

Better to thought a quiet fool than open my mouth and prove it.

You realize my first 2 sentences were intended as a joke vis a vis current events. You being God and all.

I enjoy your posts so I don’t think this applies to you.

But for some of you it sure does.
