Cal828... -$15.80... R5 pick 3 $7 1//1,5,6//1,2,4,6... $18.50


Much as I would like to say it was, my score should not be -15.80, it should be -78.40 and so I would fall between Don and Joly. I had 8 consos at 2.70 which would total 21.60. El Prado would be closest to being profitable, I think or did I add wrong.
I was no great mathematician in school. I think I had a math phobia. Very strange because my Aunt was a math teacher. Just didn't get those genes, I guess.

I guess I didn't deal with the scratch of the 5 correctly. I just took him out of your array and came up with $68 wagered. Also for some reason I was 40 cents off on your first bet. Fortunately at the race track I would just put my voucher in the machine and let technology take it's course. I shall correct it.

Sorry, not trying to be nit picking about it. I like your way of doing it better for obvious reasons, but I think my way of doing it is the way it would have happened had I made a real bet. I am not sure how consos came about, but I imagine race tracks are just trying to get the race underway without having to have a swarm of bettors coming back to change their tickets.

The cynic in me wants to conclude that they like the conso because it keeps the money in the pool and doesn't require a refund for a scratch. Same answer for those jurisdictions where a late scratch causes you to revert to the post time favorite in a multi leg wager.
