It only cost me 12, 3 on the bottom was the box. 6 combinations, I may have said wrong before 1,2/1,2/all =12

ok, i understand. I'm glad you did well and that's a nice payoff but as you noted, you got the longest shot on the board to run 3rd. If the 3rd favorite had run third, that $12 ticket would have brought back much less, probably $20 or so. In that case, a $6 Ex box of the first two would have brought back more. You did well, but it's never easy!

You are not kidding there, it was a photo(very close) between the 4(22/1) and the 5(which was like 5/1). Definately Would have cut the Tri down to 20 or worse. It's funny, one of the few times I got the exact senario I wanted. Usually doesn't work that way.
