Nobody actually plays like that ( someone may have tried but he went broke a long time ago ). He would have it twice if two of the horses in the first two slots hit the board ( this does NOT have to happen ). If someone did it in a 20 horse Derby field, as he suggested, it would be 144 Box combinations, or 864 combinations ( assuming you want to possibly have it twice ). It's boxing 2x4x18 the way he laid it out ( with neither of the first two horses in the second slot ).

I must be very bored ( and at least a little pathetic ) to have thought this lunacy through. It's a moronic play, especially at a 25% takeout.
