Race 2 - P3

2 - 3,6,10
3 - 3,4,9
4 - 5,6,8 paid $173.50


$27 total invested, so the parlay (if I am doing this correctly would be)

2: $9 win on 3,6,10 = $13.50 returned
3: $4 win on 3,4,9 = $28 returned
4: $9 win on 5,6,8 = $145 returned

I don't think you figure it based on 27 on the winner in the first because you are cutting it into a 1/3 but I could be wrong...

This is your accountant? Jesus.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, this isn't rocket science. Take half the price that the first winner paid, multiply it by the second winner's price. Divide that by two, multiply that by the third winner's price. If you played it for $2, there's your parlay amount. If you played it for $1, divide that number in half and there's your parlay amount.

Again, they are looking at the $2 cold parlay, I was looking at the total invested parlay, there is a difference

Off subject, could you please lose the avatar? Please? I'm tired of that ugly....thing. Consult kgb if you must, he can help out greatly with more pleasant avatars.

I used him in the late DD which was the only stinking bet I was able to get in after a hellish return to work day after 2 weeks off - had a very troubled trip and I don't think there was a horse in the field he didn't impede to some degree.

avatar stays until I cash my first TBD P4. Sorry.

Which is the same number kgb came up with....

Hell no, he's not my accountant, but he's usually good at crunching horse related numbers.

Maybe the big Indian chick threw him off his game today.

First off, I am a very good accountant, so far.

2nd off, and while I understand the depth of what I am trying to say is hard to comprehend. You invested $27, not $2, so technically, if you PARLAYED your money in that case, my numbers are correct. I took it a step further then you guys are.

I'd sue. There have to be some DT lawyers willing to help out. Did the binder hit you?
