Steve - shouldn't the p4's or p5's always pay more than the win parlay or at the very least around 85% of the win parlay? How can today's pick 4 come back only around 45% of the win parlay , i would have thought the early pick4should have paid around $25k i can understand a payout that is 80 - 90 % of the win parlay , but when we get down into the 60% or even today like the 40% range it's very strange

No one has mentioned this, but since Aqueduct is the focus of the conversation, has it occured to anyone that the "Serling Effect" could be at work on the multi-race wagers? Any number of players that are simply stringing Andy's horses in P3/P4 sequences could be skewing returns.

that is correct steve , if 1 used his horses , you would have hit both p 4's i know what happened , the guys who hit the early p4 were so elated , they cashed out , headed back to the city , made a dinner reservation and invited andy out as a thank you for him giving out so many winners, they realized they forgot to put in the late p4 but they didn't care as the early one paid telephone #s i can see the gang there now , at Del Frisco's , they have just finished the seafood appitzer that goes for a samll fortune , the steaks are on their way out , and the waitress from Alaska , who is simply breath -taking , is pouring the red wine with a big smile on her face ,asking for the winner of saturday's gotham , and she pleads come on guys everyone has to eat once and a while

The only way a win parlay is a true reflection of the pay out is if you make a straight p3 or pk4 bet. Most pk3s and 4s are wheels and every time you hit a win bet the winnings have to be split up between the horses in the next leg. Comparing the payoffs to a win parlay isnot very objective. If you had a winning ticket on any of these races . The true $2 pay out caan be calculated but a straight $2 parlay is not accurate.

I'd believe the Serling effect would be the exact opposite of the GPK effect, i.e., folks run from GPK's picks like rats from a sinking ship.
