I just placed my first horseracing bet (straight, to win only). I saw that the horse was listed as "5/2" to win the race. On my pending it showed 50/-...wanted to ask why it doesnt show 50/125, and now I updated because the horse did win, but it only paid out 50/30 (-166?) TIA

what site did you bet on? Also what race and track and we can verify result for you

they said we pay track odds...WTF does that mean? It showed 5/2 when i bet it before the race???
Fonner Park - Race #3 USD 50 Straight...took radicator.
isnt the payout the ones on the right? it showed 5/2 yet it only gave out 50 to win 30.
Pending it showed 50/-....dont undertand why it didnt post the to win amount, does this change before/during the race? Thx Kona

Radicator $3.20 win

Thats the pari mutual on track price and closes at race off and most offshorebooks like BOL use...ML is just the starting suggestion price....Fixed odds via betfair or agent you can lock in price.
That was accurate payout
