* 4 & 5 dead heated for the win in the 5th race

Shouldnt it be
9-1-5,6-4=?

9-1-5,6-5=?

They combine the payouts when there is a dead heat in NY, some states do it the other way (separate payouts)

you get a 'combined' payout, so what they do is 'refigure' the payout with 'more' winning tickets. ( I think )

I believe there is a consolation pk 3 in that circumstance, but Byk surely knows.

I think you are right because the scratch happened in the first leg.. if it was leg 2 or 3.. it would be a conso payout.

Byk was just talking about this on his show the other day, you would think with computers these days they could calculate which % of the pool goes to which horse. It certainly rewards the player using the smaller shot.

Was $1,500+ for $2. Cost us all a bit but wasn't. awful because the lower number meant no IRS.

Nice job yourself on that early 4, Steve. Good point on the IRS. I should have just pressed the ALL button in the 5th and spent the extra $20. I probably should have played a smaller ticket for a larger amount in addition to that play considering I loved the 9 in the second and the 4 in the 5th, singling them and the 1 and using the 3,6 would not have cost me that much, but hindsight is 20/20.
