* 4 & 5 dead heated for the win in the 5th race

They combine the payouts when there is a dead heat in NY, some states do it the other way (separate payouts)

you get a 'combined' payout, so what they do is 'refigure' the payout with 'more' winning tickets. ( I think )

I believe there is a consolation pk 3 in that circumstance, but Byk surely knows.

Byk was just talking about this on his show the other day, you would think with computers these days they could calculate which % of the pool goes to which horse. It certainly rewards the player using the smaller shot.

Was $1,500+ for $2. Cost us all a bit but wasn't. awful because the lower number meant no IRS.
