15 bets and chance to loose 15 of them or 13 bets if you hit exactly the right order of finish. For example if it comes in 1-2-3 you loose 5 ex bets, 5 tri bets, 2 win bets, and 1 place bet.

Wow, this is exciting!
It doesn't include place or show wagers.

Who bets on three horses to win in the same race?

Wow, then I'm stumped. Where do you get 15 wagers from then, you're right Cannon I have no idea.

You almost had it - but it's not 3 wps bets (that would be 9 bets - not 3)

3 win bets
6 exacta combos
6 tri combos

Why make a bet that assures you of at least 12 loosers out of 15 bets?

If you box 4 horses in a trifecta you have at least 23 losing bets, so it is quite common, what are you trying to say?

I'm all for new and innovative wagers, but this one takes the cake in the dumb category.

Hell, the over/under bet even makes more sense than this steaming pile of dog crap.

they should tie in slots with horse racing. if you get three saddle cloth numbers across, you win a ticket along with your prize. then if those horses hit a tri, you win that money too.

what the hell, couldn't hurt....



how's that for new and innovative??
