I was thinking, "wow, I've never seen that before!". Then I remembered the 2.20 min payout.

I didn't see how much was bet on the winner, but I'm almost positive there was a negative place pool. The races before and after had W/P pools totally about $25K, but this race had $119K. (and the exacta pools were about $20-25K for all 3 races.) I'm guessing there was an extra $90K or so on your horse in the place pool.

I wonder what the record is for largest field for which show betting was cancelled. I can't remember a 7-horse field, much less the 8-horse field in your race.

One scratched so it ended up being a 7 horse field. Still...I was getting ready to call a friend to say "you want some free money". Russell Road is a nice horse and his only losses this year have been to Big Drama and I want Revenge. He is undefeated against state breds and I guess the people in Charlestown knew it was going to be pretty ugly with the negative show pool.

I'm new around here so please forgive me if the following questions are dumb. Just making sure this is how Show Parlaying works.

Example:

I bet $100 to show on a horse and it hits for $2.10 so you get $105 back/ Do you pocket the $5 and keept betting $100 and pocketing whatever you get over the $100

or is it like this

I bet $100 to show on a horse and it hits for $2.10 so I get $105 back. I put the $105 on the next one and win say I then have $120 then I put the $120 on the next one?

Sorry if this is a dumb question and thanks for any help.

Your second example is correct.
