    Place pool distribution help please.
    Would someone kindly help me to understand the place pool distribution below. The 6 was 2/5 with 55% of the win money. The race ran 4,6. The 4 paid 3.40 and the 6 paid 2.20. I thought the 6 should have paid more. Is there a simple way to calculate this?
    $82,968 $24,754 $25,077
    1 $10,837 $4,027 $2,095
    2 $6,812 $2,352 $1,763
    3 $4,427 $1,855 $1,036
    4 $12,901 $4,013 $2,799
    5 $2,055 $1,081 $896
    6 $45,936 $11,426 $16,488

    20% track takout puts you at 19000 to pay back give or take..

    then after your two place horses you have 19000 - 11000 - 4000 = 4000 to split in half
    2000 for each place horse

    2000 / 11426 = odds you get back... per 1... round down to nearest 20 cents dime breakage you should get to the crappy track steals the dime breakage - minimal payout..


    a bit different if this is a net pool pricing but seems ok

      Much appreciated. I didn't realize non exotics were that high a takeout.
